In the rapidly evolving tech landscape, leaders frequently find it challenging to distinguish between short-lived trends and long-term valuable assets. Strategy(previously MicroStrategy) has been in the spotlight recently due to its Bitcoin investments. However, it’s crucial to look past the immediate buzz and appreciate the lasting value and strategic importance of Strategy’s core identity as a leading enterprise AI+BI platform.
After thoroughly evaluating leading platforms like Power BI, AWS QuickSight, and Tableau across 27 key criteria—including self-service for varied personas, handling billions of rows, reusing business definitions, user experience vs. performance, near-real time updates, and external apps integration – a leading media and entertainment giant chose Strategy to implement their Revenue360 Analytics.

Its unified semantic layer guarantees reliable data access, while the aggregate-aware Strategy engine delivers scalable performance. With comprehensive reporting and rich visualization capabilities, along with integrated security features, it provides a robust foundation for any enterprise analytics requirements.
Strategy has been consistently innovating and modernizing its enterprise AI and BI capabilities. Below are some recent advancements designed to help data and analytics leaders across organizations maximize ROI on their D&A investments and meet diverse data-driven decision support need.
