MicroStrategy is a business intelligence, Enterprise Reporting, and OLAP software vendor. MicroStrategy's software allows reporting and analysis of data stored in a relational database and other sources. MicroStrategy describes its core reporting software as "ROLAP" or "Relational OLAP" to highlight its use of relational database technology and to distinguish from traditional OLAP, although it supports MOLAP processing since version 7i too.
Their most recent software suite is called MicroStrategy 8. Launched in February 2005, MicroStrategy 8 offered major enhancements from its predecessor, MicroStrategy 7i. Some of these enhancements included a redesigned web interface, interactive reporting in Report Services, WYSIWYG report design over the web, direct access to SAP BW metadata, and improved reporting by joining heterogeneous databases.[1] Previous applications include DSS Agent, DSS Web, DSS Broadcaster, and DSS Architect.
As a result of the consolidation in the BI industry, MicroStrategy remains one of the few independent BI providers.[2] As IBM announced its plans to acquire Cognos and SAP announced plans to purchase Business Objects, MicroStrategy disclosed its plans to aggressively recruit employees and customers from its competitors.[3]
