These tools are the components of data mining, knowledge management, business analytics, business intelligence and other popular buzz phrases. While it used to be that you needed special software to perform analysis on multiple databases, the most recent version of Excel has an add-on called PowerPivot, that allows for a lot more powerful analysis. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/bi/ff966490.aspx
