Migrating all your MicroStrategy reports, dossiers, and cubes to Power BI can be complex—especially when your current system includes Intelligent Cubes, ROLAP architectures, and intricate security setups. You need a structured and proven approach to modernize your reporting landscape without disrupting business continuity.

Is your MicroStrategy environment struggling with performance bottlenecks or costly scalability issues?
Do you need to modernize legacy dashboards and consolidate reports for better agility and collaboration?
Are you concerned about migrating your MicroStrategy logic—metrics, hierarchies, thresholds—to Power BI accurately?
Is your organization looking to reduce licensing costs and better integrate with Microsoft’s data ecosystem?

MAQ Software’s Full Migration Engagement is designed to help you transition your complete MicroStrategy reporting stack to Power BI. With deep experience in BI platform modernization and proprietary automation tools like MigrateFAST, we ensure an efficient and risk-mitigated migration, tailored to your enterprise needs.

Costs and timelines will range based on number of dossiers, reports, objects, cubes, and complexity of security models.
