MicroStrategy 9: What People are Saying

What People are Saying

Customers, analysts and the press share our excitement about MicroStrategy 9. See what they have to say about the groundbreaking new features and enhancements that make this the most significant release of our business intelligence platform in a decade.

“MicroStrategy’s new In-memory ROLAP option is game changing. Unlike other in-memory approaches on the market today, it is fully integrated with an enterprise BI environment and provides high performance transparently to business users. The way in which large amounts of data are stored and accessed in-memory is so seamless that I was skeptical until I saw the actual SQL generated and witnessed the performance.”

“Today, organizations need a business intelligence solution that can support user self-sufficiency and can respond more quickly and effectively to local business needs. MicroStrategy 9 provides end users with more control over the analysis and reports they create and helps them to be more self-sufficient, require far less IT support, and quickly adapt to changing business requirements.”
TDWI
—Wayne Eckerson, Director of TDWI Research at The Data Warehousing Institute

“Organizations need to gradually and incrementally consolidate their departmental and workgroup islands of BI into a cohesive enterprise framework that ensures a single version of the truth and low cost of operation. MicroStrategy is directly addressing this challenge with MicroStrategy 9, which contains an In-memory BI and Multi-source BI capability that will make MicroStrategy’s enterprise-caliber technology equally suitable for workgroup BI and departmental BI. MicroStrategy’s new platform includes capabilities that allow consolidation and transformation of departmental and workgroup islands of BI without having to redo reports or dashboards as consolidation takes place.”
