MicroStrategy is renowned for its ability to access the full depth and breadth of the largest enterprise data warehouses (EDWs), using the MicroStrategy SQL Engine to dynamically generate optimized SQL whenever a report is run, or whenever a user drills anywhere back into the data warehouse. MicroStrategy provides businesses with a single unified user interface and BI infrastructure for reporting and analysis against both Enterprise Data Warehouses (EDWs) as well as SAP Business Information Warehouses (BWs). The MicroStrategy platform is also fully certified under the SAP Powered by NetWeaver™ program. Now SAP BW users can experience the same high performance that MicroStrategy achieves today with EDWs through MicroStrategy’s shared caching, scheduling and clustering.

The MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Platform incorporates a dynamic data access engine in its architecture. This new engine is designed to access multi-dimensional databases (MDDBs or OLAP Cube Databases) such as those from SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) databases. MicroStrategy’s Dynamic MDX Engine generates optimized MDX syntax that is fully certified with SAP BW using SAP’s high performance BAPI interfaces. Because MicroStrategy’s MDX is dynamically generated using the multidimensional models implicit in SAP InfoCubes, QueryCubes, and ODS objects, users can automatically and transparently drill back into SAP BW for more data, without any prior programming or prior design of drill paths. MicroStrategy can also join data across SAP BW Infocubes and QueryCubes as well as access multiple instances of SAP BW at once.
