What's the best way to present BI/SSAS?


i curious, adapting ssas 2005 bi, , ssrs 2005 report
we use sharepoint 2003 now, great presenting ssrs

what's best way present ssas though?
i know can report in ssrs ssas, using cube data source
but if users want slice-and-dice, change filter criterias?

i wouldn't want create ssrs report what-if conditions
and great if ssrs' "report builder" feature works on cube, it?

other ways can think of
- give users permission ssas server, , install 2005 mgmt studio on desktop can browse cube? (definitely not installing visual studio 2005)
- build every report every request?
- build general one, , let them drill-down extent?

thanks

you have quite few options;

use excel pivottables connect analysis services directly. excel 2007 beta shows great inprovements in as-related functionality.

recently aquired proclarity not part of microsoft product line. 1 of advanced clients on market.

you cannot install ssms on client machines, used administrative purposes only.
