2017 MicroStrategy Symposium: Analytics for everyone

By

Theta

This year’s MicroStrategy Symposium was co-hosted by Theta and MicroStrategy at Eden Park in Auckland.

MicroStrategy customers came along to hear about Microstrategy’s future technology plans, share their stories, network and learn from their peers.

The University of Auckland’s chief digital officer Stephen Whiteside gave the customer keynote on the university’s analytics journey.

Sefton Thesing hosted a panel discussion on predictive analytics, with representatives from Xero and The University of Auckland as well as our own head of analytics Gary Blumgart.

Pieter Coetzee also presented on using R with MicroStrategy for predictive analytics and sentiment analysis during one of the technical streams.

Continuing the customer stories theme, we heard from Treescape about their new Executive Mobile BI App and from the Warehouse about their very successful Store Managers Operations iPad app.

MicroStrategy 10.9 highlights

MicroStrategy demonstrated the recently released version 10.9 of MicroStrategy. The new personalised library interface and collaboration features for consumer users make it easy to navigate through reports and visualizations, share insights, and collaborate with colleagues.

Dossiers allow users to create story books and analytics that can convey multiple visualisations into an interactive book. Dossiers include combining new global filters that operate on multiple pages in the Dossier sections.

Dossiers make analytics simple, interactive, and social.
