MicroStrategy’s rigid architecture, high licensing costs, and complex administration often create barriers for organizations aiming for agility, cloud-readiness, and modern self-service analytics. Power BI offers a flexible, scalable, and user-friendly platform that integrates seamlessly with Microsoft’s broader data ecosystem. In just 3 weeks, we will help you begin your transition from MicroStrategy to Power BI.

MAQ Software’s 3-week assessment provides a structured evaluation of your current MicroStrategy landscape, identifies migration opportunities, and delivers a customized roadmap for migrating to Power BI—all at no cost to you.

Target customers
Our assessment is ideal for:

Digital transformation & innovation leaders
IT executives (CIO/CTO/CSO)
BI/Analytics Team
SAP BusinessObjects Admins
Project/Program Managers

Agenda

Week 1: Discovery and Analysis

Kick-off Meeting: Confirm scope, introduce teams, align expectations, and plan communication.
MicroStrategy Environment Deep Dive: Analyze number of dossiers, reports, cubes, schema objects, and user groups.
Data Source Analysis: Evaluate SQL and MDX-based connections, external data connectors, and any legacy ROLAP sources.
Stakeholder Interviews: Understand current report usage, gaps, business pain points, and future expectations.
Power BI Overview: Present Power BI capabilities tailored to MicroStrategy’s challenges (e.g., semantic modeling, real-time data access, row-level security).

Week 2: Power BI Evaluation and Planning

Feature Mapping Demonstrations: Demonstrate Power BI equivalents of MicroStrategy-specific features like prompts, derived metrics, and dynamic dashboards.
Migration Strategy Outline: Recommend migration approaches (layered model rebuild, phased module-by-module transition, or parallel dual-run).
Preliminary Architecture Planning: Define a Power BI architecture for replacing MicroStrategy’s 3-tier (schema/report/user) architecture.
Effort Estimation: Provide initial migration effort estimates by report category and complexity using findings from MigrateFAST.

Week 3: Roadmap and Recommendations

Refined Migration Roadmap: Provide a phase-wise migration plan with key activities, responsible roles, dependencies, and timelines.
Cost Analysis: Outline expected licensing costs for Power BI (Pro, PPU, Premium Capacity) and projected implementation costs.
Risk Mitigation Strategies: Address potential risks such as loss of cube-based functionality, semantic model gaps, and user training.
Governance and Adoption Best Practices: Share guidelines for Power BI governance, workspace security, dataflows, and end-user enablement.
Final Presentation and Q&A: Present full findings, roadmap, estimates, and answer business and technical questions.
