Take a look at PALO www.palo.net - This is an open source OLAP server which will be similar to commercial offereing such as TM1 and MIS Alea.

Its RAM based and so should be fast and there is an excel add-in so end users should feeel comfortable with this environment.

Additionally there are number of APIs available so users can embed it or customise it.
