Press Release • March 25, 2024
Auckland, New Zealand - Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland has enhanced its data analytics capabilities by adopting MicroStrategy as its enterprise Business Intelligence (BI) platform. With over 6000 users leveraging MicroStrategy's robust features, the University is prioritising user experience as a pivotal factor in its BI journey.
MicroStrategy Cloud connects to Snowflake’s Data Cloud Platform implemented by the University as part of its cloud modernisation program.

By implementing MicroStrategy, the University will be well-positioned to leverage AI capabilities in the future.
“With over 45,000 students and 7,000 staff we manage a lot of information. By shifting to a cloud-based system we will increase the speed of information delivery across the University as well as to partners. Information can now be accessed in real-time via an easily accessible online portal,” said University of Auckland Director, Planning and Information, Pamela Moss.
“MicroStrategy's modern and user-friendly platform will empower our staff and faculty to make data-driven decisions with greater ease and efficiency,” said Jason Mangan, Chief Digital Officer at the University of Auckland. “This shift to the cloud will also ensure greater scalability and agility as our data needs evolve.”
