Browsing cubes through interfaces other than the BI Studio?

I've built a cube, deployed it and processed it. I can use the brower in the BI Studio to see the data subsets and can manipulate it. How do I get this cube to the user without having to install BI Studios on their computer?

Basically how do I get the cube into IIS so the user can just open a web browser and go to it? Similar to how cognos does it with their cubes. Or is this not possible?

I see no way to view the cube unless you are using the BI Studio to open it. Am I missing something?

You are indee missing quite a lot.

There are many different ways to browse a cube using different applications. Just to name a few: Excel, Office Web Components ( you see it embedded in BI Dev studio), ProClarity, and many others.

After building a cube you should decide on the way you going to let your users to browse a cube data. Take a look at client application and evaluate which one works for you the best and then deploy it on client machines.

Try out a new PivotTables in Beta of Office2007.

Could you point me to some documentation on or the correct direction to being able to view the cubes through a web interface? I'd like to be able to use strictly Server 2003 and SQL 2005 and be able to deploy these cubes to IIS for viewing without the use of a third system or special installations on PCs.

So with that in mind I'd like to be able to view these cubes from any computer that has an Internet explorer window.
