to Make Revenue-Generating Decisions
Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. uses the MicroStrategy platform as its enterprise reporting standard. Dick’s Sporting Goods is an authentic sporting goods retailer that offers a broad selection of high-quality, competitively-priced brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel, and footwear.
After reviewing reporting solutions from among the many available business intelligence products, Dick’s chose MicroStrategy to replace its Cognos installation. Dick’s Sporting Goods employees, including store managers, merchandising analysts, and senior management, use MicroStrategy software to analyze a 2-terabyte Oracle data warehouse. End users are able to perform sales, category, and inventory management analyses in order to more effectively track product sales, product mix, and inventory levels.

Bansal. “Leading retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods are choosing MicroStrategy’s industrial-strength platform to gain visibility into their operations and make revenue-generating decisions that please management, shareholders, and most importantly, a discerning customer base.”
