Definition: TM1


(Tables Manager 1) A multidimensional analysis program for DOS and Windows from IBM. It allows data to be viewed in up to eight dimensions.

TM1 makes it easy to display different slices of the data, and it is designed to import and cross tab large amounts of data. In 2003, the company released TM1 Web, an application that allows users to create real-time, Web-based worksheets directly from within Microsoft Excel.
