MicroStrategy Announces Availability of MicroStrategy Integrity Manager
Webcast Featuring MicroStrategy Integrity Manager Scheduled for October 18, 2007
MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 2 -- MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ:MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced the availability of MicroStrategy Integrity Manager(TM), a new product that tests the accuracy of BI applications by validating data and report integrity. Introduced as part of MicroStrategy's latest software release in September 2007, MicroStrategy Integrity Manager automates the report comparison process and verifies the consistency of reports as changes are made to the BI ecosystem.
Despite the increasing importance of BI applications, BI support teams may fail to validate report and data integrity because the validation process is too labor intensive and time consuming. MicroStrategy Integrity Manager automates this process and identifies inconsistencies and errors, enabling business people to rely on the accuracy of their BI reports and analyses.
MicroStrategy Integrity Manager can detect, compare, and present inconsistencies in reports caused by changes in the BI environment. A BI system is composed of many technologies ranging from operational applications, ETL tools, DBMSs, BI tools, and server operating systems. These technologies are managed by different people including DBAs, ETL engineers, BI architects, BI administrators, BI developers, and system administrators. Any of these people can make a change that can cause an inadvertent error to be introduced in a report. With MicroStrategy Integrity Manager, data inconsistencies can be captured early in the development cycle, saving time in report testing, end user support, and issue resolution.
"MicroStrategy Integrity Manager reduces the need for resource-intensive manual testing, and automates regression tests for all planned changes in the entire BI ecosystem," said Natalie Pikouliak, Business Intelligence Manager at Katz Group Canada.
"Integrity Manager goes beyond simple impact analysis, providing full regression testing for any number of potential system changes," said Cindi Howson, founder of BIScorecard and author of Successful Business Intelligence: Secrets to Making BI a Killer App. "Integrity Manager will do before-and-after report comparisons to tell an administrator the impact of the change, warning if there are differences in the data values, if the SQL generated is different, or if the output format is affected. Not only will Integrity Manager tell you that there is a difference, it also highlights the differences in the numeric values, SQL, or display. Of leading BI vendors, MicroStrategy is first to market in providing such an important capability to managing enterprise-class BI."
"MicroStrategy Integrity Manager reflects the company's product strategy of providing industrial-strength business intelligence suitable for the entire enterprise," said Sanju Bansal, MicroStrategy COO. "MicroStrategy Integrity Manager joins an array of other powerful administrative and security features within the MicroStrategy platform designed specifically to allow a small number of IS professionals to provide business intelligence to thousands of users across their company."
MicroStrategy will host a Webcast on October 18, 2007, featuring demonstrations of MicroStrategy Integrity Manager and insights from industry analyst Cindi Howson. For more information on the Webcast, visit http://www.microstrategy.com/IntegrityLaunch.
