MicroStrategy Architect™ is a rapid development tool that maps the physical
structure of your database into a logical business model. These mappings
are stored in a centralized metadata repository.
Through a user-friendly graphical interface, application developers use
intuitive wizards and editors to define the business rules to match your
departmental or enterprise requirements. As a result of the centralized metadata repository,
changes in the database or business model are immediately and transparently
propagated to all business users. Unlike our competitors, there is no
need to alter all the existing reports. MicroStrategy Architect lets application designers
establish a common, centrally defined business model for end user
reporting and quickly and
securely form the basis of integrated reporting
applications based on this logical business model.

Build Versatile Applications Quickly |
|
MicroStrategy Architect is the only tool in the industry that can
create business intelligence applications against terabyte-sized data
warehouses based on any industry business model. Unlike other solutions
that bind the database model directly to the application, MicroStrategy
Architect maintains a rich abstraction layer that separates the distinct
requirements of business intelligence solutions from the definition
of the physical database schema. |

Freehand SQL-based Logical Table
Creation |
|
Administrators can create logical table
views by defining customized table structures using freeform
SQL statements within a MicroStrategy project. These virtual
tables are included in the MicroStrategy metadata and used
as derived tables by MicroStrategy’s ROLAP SQL Engine.
