“MicroStrategy 10.9 represents the biggest leap forward since
our MicroStrategy 10 platform launch and underscores our vision of
delivering ‘Intelligence Everywhere’,” said Tim Lang, Senior
Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer,
MicroStrategy Incorporated. “We believe collaborative analytics
accelerates the velocity of decision making. That’s why we’re
introducing Dossier, an easier and faster method of consuming
analytics that we believe end users are going to love.
MicroStrategy 10.9 empowers users to do more with their analytics
regardless of their technical skill or role.”
Dossier Delivers New Storybook Experience Around
Analytics
MicroStrategy 10.9 delivers Dossier, an interactive book of
business which combines relevant analytics into a single place,
organized into chapters and pages. The new streamlined interface
goes beyond dashboards and brings data together in a format that
all users recognize and understand. The new consumer-oriented and
browser-based interface offers end users a modern and interactive
means to explore data. Dossier makes it easy to navigate and share
reports and visualizations that matter to users.
“Assisting customers in improving their businesses through
media-centric analytics insights is a top objective at Imagine, and
MicroStrategy 10.9 is instrumental in helping us achieve this
goal,” said Adam Gotlieb, Director of Product Management for Global
Traffic, Imagine Communications. “Dossier introduces a new
streamlined interface that goes beyond dashboards and brings key
data into a format that users can understand and use to make
better, actionable decisions and identify new opportunities.”
Collaborative Analytics Turbocharges Decision Making
Version 10.9 enables users to collaborate via discussion threads
and real-time comments within the Dossier interface. Anyone who has
access to a dossier through the MicroStrategy Library™ can ask
questions, highlight trends, and share their current filter state
with others. Users who are tagged in a comment can receive
real-time notifications via email, browser banners, page and
library alerts, or push notifications.
MicroStrategy Library Helps Users Quickly and Easily Find
Content and Answers
The 10.9 release delivers the MicroStrategy Library, a
personalized portal for all users to access their BI content and
dossiers. End users can login to the MicroStrategy Library to find
a list of all dossiers to which he or she has subscribed or has
access. Each dossier in the library is represented by a customized
thumbnail image, making it easy to visually identify content.
Additionally, powerful search options are available for users to
find content quickly. New notifications and comments made to the
user will show up clearly as an alert, so the user doesn’t miss an
update. Regardless of what browser or mobile device a user is on,
the MicroStrategy Library is responsive in design and will
automatically resize as needed.
Visual-based Filtering Accelerates Data Exploration
Dossier delivers a completely revamped approach to filtering
data. Users can explore their data with a clean, simple interface
and multiple filter types, including visual filters, advanced
qualification filters, and in-canvas selectors. With visual
filters, users can now embed any MicroStrategy visualization into
the filter panel of a dossier, providing a visual and intuitive way
to filter information without taking up valuable screen real
estate.
Redesigned Data Discovery & Dossier Authoring Facilitate
Faster Access to Data and Insights
MicroStrategy 10.9 makes it easier for users to access, analyze,
and operationalize their data. MicroStrategy 10.9 provides business
analysts with more connectors to data sources, easier data
preparation, visual analytics and guided advanced analytics.
Analysts can author once and deploy on multiple devices, without
worrying about the target device.
Dossier and Document Certification Maintain Effective Data
Governance
A common need for organizations that have invested in
self-service strategies is the ability to ensure that everyone is
able to differentiate content that is tied to certified versus
untrustworthy data. With MicroStrategy 10.9, analysts and data
stewards can watermark content with a ‘certified’ stamp. This step
offers an easy way to implement governance across a self-service
deployment and makes it clear for business users which content is
tied to trusted data sources.
New Connectivity, Including Enhanced Out-of-the-box
Connectors, to Diverse Types of Data
MicroStrategy 10.9 amplifies existing investments by keeping up
with the latest certifications and providing instant access to
nearly any type of data with out-of-the-box connectors to popular
data sources, including personal spreadsheets, enterprise data
warehouses, text files, cloud sources, and big data systems. With a
clean simple interface, analysts can sort through 80+ data sources
to quickly find the source they need. Version 10.9 delivers live
data access for Hadoop Gateway, allowing end users to get the
latest information from HDFS.
In addition, MicroStrategy 10.9 delivers an SDK to build out new
out-of-the-box connectors that help analysts visualize text and
semi-structured data such as Solr, Box, One Drive, Elasticsearch
and many others. These new connectors allow analysts and citizen
data scientists to run queries against semi-structured data, like
log files and text scripts. Data is available to end users in
tabular format and can be readily used to build reports or
dossiers. New connectors built using the Data Connector API are
regularly available and can be downloaded by visiting the
MicroStrategy Community.
Greater Flexibility to Create Custom MDX Queries for Advanced
Financial Reporting
MicroStrategy 10.9 enables business users and analysts to
visualize and interact with multi-level or ragged hierarchy reports
against MDX sources, and delivers enhancements with dynamic
filtering, persisted sort order, efficiency improvements, and
support for derived attributes and metrics. Business users can now
apply mathematical and other transformational functions, and create
derived elements within hierarchy reports using more complex
formulas and calculations.
New Embedding APIs Easily Integrate Dossiers into Websites,
Blogs and Portals
Offering a vast array of APIs, MicroStrategy 10 is an open
platform that works with larger technology ecosystems and offers
easy ways to extend its capabilities. With MicroStrategy 10.9’s new
embedding APIs, dossiers can be easily embedded into third-party
applications with the ability to interact with MicroStrategy
content and associated functionality. Users can slice and dice the
data, navigate to different pages and chapters in the dossier,
apply filters, and interact and analyze the data within the
application itself. In addition, single sign-on or guest embedding
can be enabled, so the user can interact with the dossier without
having to login within the third-party application.
“After testing MicroStrategy 10.9 as an early adopter, we are
excited about the new set of APIs in the release that will make
embedding and integration of MicroStrategy capabilities with
applications of our choice easier,” said Praphul Kumar, Senior
Director of Product Management, Genesys. “As we create the world’s
most powerful, personal and intelligent customer experiences,
MicroStrategy helps us to democratize those experiences through
their rich set of APIs. We use MicroStrategy APIs to embed
real-time and historical information right into the hands of
contact center agents and supervisors so they can view and analyze
that information in any application. MicroStrategy is the most open
platform in the market, and we are excited to build more
data-driven client applications with the new APIs.”
Upgrades to MicroStrategy on AWS Strengthen Analytics in the
Cloud
MicroStrategy on AWS allows organizations to deploy and manage
enterprise analytics environments through the provisioning console.
MicroStrategy 10.9 adds significant enhancements to its cloud
offering, including single-click hotfix upgrades and the ability to
deploy MicroStrategy into existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
accounts. New deployments will be automatically launched in the
latest R4 instances that are optimized to require less memory.
MicroStrategy customers can deploy MicroStrategy on AWS in data
centers in eight different locations: Northern Virginia, Ohio,
Oregon, Ireland, Frankfurt, London, Sydney, and Tokyo. The
MicroStrategy on AWS provisioning tool is also available in nine
different languages: English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish,

The latest release also introduces various additional
enhancements, including:
- Responsive design that makes it easier
than ever to build and deploy analytics across different device
types and screen sizes;
- New and improved data connectors that
allow organizations to access datasets across different projects in
a MicroStrategy deployment. Version 10.9 also certifies the latest
data sources, including Maria Database 10.x, Apache Hive 2.x, Spark
SQL 2.0, and MapR 5.2, and delivers improvements to data connectors
for Presto, Snowflake, and Amazon Redshift; and
- Out-of-the-box connectors for both Solr
and Elasticsearch.
