Every day, companies across all major industries rely on MicroStrategy to give their entire enterprises the leading edge; companies use the MicroStrategy BI Developer Kit to accelerate corporate performance management (CPM) initiatives.

The MicroStrategy BI Developer Kit is a CPM starter kit with application modules, plus development tools, to let business users immediately start reporting, analyzing, and monitoring corporate performance.

The MicroStrategy BI Developer Kit gives your organization the best of both worlds: packaged applications that can be customized easily to fit precise business requirements – and the development environment to do just that.

Packaged analytics Application development environment BI Platform

Each of the application modules is designed as a starter kit complete with scorecards, dashboards, reports, metrics, and KPIs. Business users access these analytics easily from: any Web browser, email program, or Microsoft® Excel, PowerPoint®, Word, and Outlook®.

Each module includes an application model (logical schema), a data warehouse model (physical schema), and extensive documentation. MicroStrategy Desktop Designer enables full extensibility and customizability. MicroStrategy Architect maps the logical schema to any physical schema. MicroStrategy BI Developer Kit customers take full advantage of their existing data warehouse and ERP investments and are able to develop applications rapidly.

MicroStrategy’s application modules are built on the MicroStrategy platform, taking full advantage of all five styles of business intelligence, data scalability, user scalability, and centralized IT infrastructure.


The MicroStrategy BI Developer Kit is unique because it combines the flexibility of building custom applications with the speed of deploying packaged applications, at a price well below the six-figure BI applications available in the market from other software companies.
