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.
