Product details

MicroStrategy’s big data analytics offers a holistic digital transformation platform. This platform covers all aspects of the digital transformation process. It supports data discovery operations, detailed reporting and analytics, machine learning, and all aspects of the digital transformation process.

Digital transformation does not always mean doing away with legacy technologies or processes; it could be making these disparate technologies work better. MicroStrategy understands this need for legacy technology to work with new and advanced tools.

Hence, the platform supports businesses to operationalize their data silos. Operationalized data lakes interact and help put enterprise analytics to work for businesses. Using its open architecture, MicroStrategy helps businesses benefit from their current big data investments. MicroStrategy collaborates with Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services to provide transformational big data analytics.

MicroStrategy’s big data analytics uses zero-click technology to deliver analytics to apps that its users already use and know. The platform uses zero-click technology to help users infuse analytics capabilities into the tools and apps that their teams already use. Bringing analytics into the apps that users already run offers customized and useful business intelligence to everyone in an organization. So they can get useful insights that are relevant to them always, without giving up their familiar apps. This tool also works on all devices and across all apps.

MicroStrategy’s big data analytics offers data visualization capabilities that work with custom and third-party apps. This tool makes analytics more interactive, simple, social, and easy to use by providing dossiers and dashboards to users. MicroStrategy makes it possible for developers and data scientists to hand their users the tools they need to experiment with, visualize, and analyze data to discover new insights on their own.

From their discoveries, business users can build dossier and dashboards and offer them to be used in governed enterprise environments. Users can leverage the data reporting capabilities of this software to deploy enterprise reporting solutions like scorecards, branded statements, invoices, operational reports, and more.

Moreover, this big data analytics platform lets users build dynamic, vector-based maps to help users offer interactive user experiences on mobile apps and the web.

MicroStrategy big data analytics platform supercharges Excel for users who rely on spreadsheets. This big data analytics tool makes it possible for users to stream data from multiple trusted channels while still working with Excel. The logic here is that static data on worksheets do not give businesses the complete picture they need to make high-level decisions. Hence, users can feed data to their Excel spreadsheets from more than 150 data sources.

This platform uses gateways and native drivers to connect to any enterprise resource. MicroStrategy connects with mobile device management systems, cloud apps, databases, physical access control systems, enterprise directories, and self-service tools like Qlik, Tableau, and Power BI.

MicroStrategy’s big data analytics platform works with all distributed file systems like GoogleFS, HDFS, Amazon S3, and more. The system can handle data from all types of databases, including those from batched SQL, No SQL, Search like Splunk and Apache Solr, and interactive SQL. Users can utilize all SQL on Hadoop technologies to run interactive queries; technologies like Pivotal HAWQ, MapR Drill, Facebook Presto, Cloudera Impala, and Apache Spark.
