MicroStrategy Incorporated, a worldwide provider of business intelligence software, has enhanced its OEM program with new product capabilities for Software-as-a-Service companies.

 

Officials said that the company’s business intelligence platform provides integrated reporting and analytics, allowing software companies and technology providers to easily add reporting, dashboarding, analytical, and alerting applications to their existing product offerings with minimal development costs and resources.

 

According to company officials SaaS companies often select MicroStrategy (News - Alert) for its scalability, open platform for customizability, and security capabilities.

 

Officials said that MicroStrategy 9, the company’s latest release, offers new capabilities specifically for SaaS (News - Alert) companies.

 

These new capabilities include enhanced end user design features, in-memory BI enabling higher data scalability to support larger multi-tenant systems, improved security integration with third-party tools, a plug-in architecture for simpler customization, and the ability for different companies to use their own reporting terminology, even across multiple languages within the same multi-tenant application.

 

"MicroStrategy's BI platform contains the security, customization, and end user self-service Web capabilities required to offer a single hardware, software, and application solution, while still meeting customer-specific requirements," said Daniel Schmidt, CIO of Constellation Software, in a statement.

 

Schmidt said that MicroStrategy's ability to do this, while at the same time being able to scale to large numbers of users and large amounts of data, makes the MicroStrategy BI platform well-suited for multi-tenant SaaS deployments.

 

"SaaS BI solutions are an increasingly appealing alternative for organizations that need to share essential business intelligence data across the organization, but lack sufficient resources to implement and maintain these technologies in-house," said Sanju Bansal (News - Alert), MicroStrategy COO.

 

Bansal said that the companies that offer a SaaS model will find that MicroStrategy enables them to build a flexible and scalable, multi-tenant BI architecture in a highly cost-effective manner.
