Ensure All Critical Reports are 100% Accurate
Any and all critical reports can be guaranteed for data integrity as frequently as desired. Daily tests after data warehouse changes and data loads provide ongoing report operational validation and data integrity assurance. |
|
|
Quickly Test the Same Report Set in Less Time and/or Test More Reports
A set of reports that require manual testing for report and data integrity can be tested in significantly less time with MicroStrategy Integrity Manager. MicroStrategy Integrity Manager saves so much time that the set of reports can be expanded to include many more reports, dramatically improving the credibility and reliability of the BI system.

|
|
Build Trust and Confidence in the BI Data and Report Integrity
Knowing that their BI applications are thoroughly and frequently tested for data and report integrity, users will trust their BI information and have confidence in their business decisions based on that data.
|
|
|
Improve Service Level Agreements (SLA) with the Business Users and Increase BI System Usage
MicroStrategy Integrity Manager automatically detects anomalies before users see them and provides advance notice to administrators who can intervene to halt any undesirable impact to users. This assurance or improved SLA for the business users will encourage BI application usage, increasing business decision effectiveness and ROI of the BI investment. |
|
|
Regression Testing for All Planned Changes in the Entire BI Ecosystem
Comprehensive, automated regression testing for any change in the BI environment, such as:
- Upgrading to a new version of the MicroStrategy platform or database platform
- Deploying a new version of or making modifications to a BI application
- Adding aggregate tables and indexes to the data warehouse
- Verifying changes to ETL processes
|
|
|
Dramatically Reduce the Time and Manpower Required to Deploy Changes in the BI Environment
Regular monitoring of data and report integrity is possible as automated comparison overcomes resource intensive manual testing. A test that would previously take hundreds of man hours to analyze only a sample set of reports is now completed in a matter of hours. This frees up report developers and administrators, letting them spend more time developing reports and new BI applications.
|
|
|
Confidently Adopt Latest Software Versions
Because administrators can assure their users that changes anywhere in the BI environment will have no unforeseen impact on any reports or data, they can regularly apply software upgrades to take advantage of the latest software features and to ensure a more stable, better-performing BI system. |
