MicroStrategy World 2016 is a three day event filled with outstanding content, industry networking and relationship building. Presenters will discuss the latest trends including enterprise analytics, mobility, security and big data.

Our own Sumit Sarkar will be co-presenting on “DataDirect Cloud & MicroStrategy: A functional overview” Wednesday from 4:45 PM–5:45 PM (Track 6-Extract Value Out of Your Business Systems).

DataDirect Cloud and MicroStrategy


MicroStrategy
is a leading worldwide provider of enterprise software platforms. Enterprises are increasingly adopting cloud-based marketing and CRM platforms. DataDirect partnered with MicroStrategy to enable users to access cloud sources through an SQL interface, which is already familiar to most BI engineers and business analysts.

Sumit’s session will begin with an overview of DataDirect Cloud for MicroStrategy and explain the process of turning cloud sources into databases. Some popular data sources for MicroStrategy shops include Eloqua, Oracle Service Cloud, Marketo, Hubspot, Google Analytics, Veeva CRM, Amazon Redshift, Sugar CRM and Hosted Databases (over HTTPS). His presentation will end with best practices and lessons learned from analytics and cloud sources along with a live demo!

Embrace Cloud Data


Forbes reports, based on a survey of 1000 senior executives by CapGemini and EMC, that 70% of IT decision-makers consider their organization’s ability to exploit value from big data as critical to their future success. In MicroStrategy’s partnership with DataDirect, they made a commitment to cloud data sources. In fact, when you look at the MicroStrategy data source matrix and see “Installed with MicroStrategy,” those connectors were developed by a lot of the same people that developed DataDirect Cloud!
