    is the following service require to turn on

    SQL Server Analysis Service ?

    Are you planning to use it's features? Are you planning to build cubes, do data mining and the like on this server?

    If so, then yes (though you probably would be better off using a different server). If not, then no.

    I'm not sure what is the build cubes and data mining..

    Our SQL server basically used for data exchange purposes (application <-> database)

    Then SSAS is probably unnecessary.
