Why MicroStrategy is the Best Business Intelligence Software to Embed

MicroStrategy is one of the most technically advanced and visionary technologies in the business intelligence space. Here are some key reasons:

  • Integrated Architecture – Supports BI at all levels with one organically-grown platform and a unified interface over an integrated architecture.  This powerful architecture allows you to utilize only the capabilities you require with a plug and play approach while efficiently meeting the needs of thousands of users with unique data, functionality and interface requirements.
  • Rapid Development and Deployment Against Multiple Data Sources – Promotes rapid development and deployment of new reports and applications through a vast array of reusable metadata objects, a comprehensive security architecture and design paradigms that accelerate the report design process.  MicroStrategy also allows you to access your data from multiple data sources to speed creation of your BI solution.
  • Easy-to-Use Interface to All Users – Supports BI users of all skill levels with a single and intuitive zero-footprint web interface that enables them to easily satisfy their BI reporting, analysis, and monitoring needs. Users can also interact with the exact same report s and dashboards via a Windows interface, Microsoft® Office, email clients or a BlackBerry.
  • Reduced Administrative Efforts – Provides a comprehensive set of tools to centrally and granularly manage and automate the BI infrastructure. The platform delivers greater economies of scale as a system grows and ensures implementations require an absolute minimum of IT personnel, hardware, and database resources.
  • Comprehensive Security – Provides a multi-layered security architecture design optimized for high performance and high scalability while providing information security and a single version of the truth throughout all reports, dashboards, and analyses, regardless of who creates them.
  • Scalability and High Performance – Includes a strong relational online analytical processing (ROLAP) engine that is recognized as the industry leader in providing scalable and detailed reporting against any amount of data. Additionally, an in-memory multi-dimensional online analytical processing (MOLAP) engine enables subsets of data to be pre-calculated for faster performance. The integration between these two engines enables users to get the performance of MOLAP cube engines with all the power and flexible data access of a ROLAP engine.
  • Openness and Extensibility of Complete Functionality – Enables access to the vast platform functionality through tools, APIs and documentation. With the full range of BI functionality offered on a single services-oriented architecture, customers can satisfy all of their BI requirements without the need for additional integration work.
  • Lowest Total Cost of Ownership – Supports deployments with efficient administrator efforts.  MicroStrategy’s centralized administration, single object repository and single server avoids the overhead of redundant metadata and tools and delivers an overall lower total cost of ownership.
  • End-User Self-Service – Reduces IT design activities through BI capabilities that allow a fewer number of more flexible reports, end user self-service, and design reuse, resulting on users creating and formatting their own reports without IT involvement.  This empowers users to answer their own requests without IT involvement.
