Business Intelligence Data Warehouse
A business intelligence data warehouse is an enterprise-wide store of cleansed, reconciled data extracted from a wide variety of operational systems and optimized for reporting, analysis, and monitoring.
Organizations collect and store increasing amounts of information about every aspect of their business. However, just having a data warehouse does not provide organizations with any clear business benefits. To realize any type of benefits, IT organizations need systems that allow employees to make strategic and tactical decisions based on the information stored in these data warehouses.
Getting the Maximum Return from your Data Warehouse Investment
Many organizations have invested heavily on building and maintaining a business intelligence data warehouse. MicroStrategy helps companies capitalize on these key investments by providing unique capabilities to effectively and efficiently analyze, monitor, and report on all information in a business intelligence data warehouse.
- MicroStrategy’s true relational online analytical processing (ROLAP) architecture fully leverages the processing capabilities of the relational database management system (RDBMS). No time-consuming and costly additional processing is needed to load the data into a datamart or proprietary cube before users can access the data.
- MicroStrategy automatically generates optimized SQL syntax specific to each major database platform vendor, providing optimum performance and resource utilization for any business intelligence data warehouse.
- Unique “Drill Anywhere” capability lets MicroStrategy users start with a report and surf through almost any other set of data in the entire business intelligence data warehouse without ever designing a new report. Ordinary users can create virtually any ad hoc report, without ever doing ad hoc report design.
- User-friendly report design enables more users to gain access to the entire business intelligence data warehouse. Through a single easy-to-use interface, users specify what content should be included in a report. They can rearrange and display new data on the fly as their questions expand.
