The MicroStrategy Platform is the only business intelligence architecture that delivers high performance, sophisticated analytics, low cost of ownership, rapid report creation, and superior end user self-service. Our enterprise-caliber technology is based on Relational OLAP (ROLAP) architecture and is the first to offer both a highly scalable and fully-interactive BI environment. MicroStrategy 9, our most feature-rich release in a decade, allows companies to support all levels of BI initiatives, and helps companies to consolidate islands of BI gradually into a cohesive enterprise BI framework.
