CHALLENGES
  • Over 10 years old, the platform did not adhere to MicroStrategy and SQL Server best practices and standards.

  • High Demand for User Training: Users showed low autonomy with frequent requests for training on tool usage.

  • Significant Ticket Volume: Approximately 100 tickets handled for both RUN and BUILD requests.

  • Performance Issues: Intense usage of email pushes and large exports led to recurring performance bottlenecks.

  • International Scope: The platform supports users across various countries, adding complexity to training and support.
SOLUTION
  • Implementation of a MicroStrategy Platform Cleanup Project

  • Object Optimization: Masking rarely or unused objects and renaming for unique identification

  • Subscription Optimization: Identification and enhancement of time-consuming subscriptions, with ongoing monitoring of each subscription using Platform Analytics

  • Process Reorganization for RUN Coordination: Established structured processes to streamline collaboration with teams such as ETL

  • English-Language Training for Subsidiaries: Over 15 training sessions organized across two levels—Analyst and Advanced—for both French and international subsidiaries
BENEFITS
  • Reduction in Ticket Volume and Resolution Time

  • User Training: Increased user autonomy enables users to easily develop their own business use cases, reducing dependency on IT teams.

  • Stabilized BI Platform: Performance enhancement initiatives have contributed to a more stable BI environment.

  • Internal BI Team Skill Development: Ongoing training and coordination rituals enhance the internal BI team’s capabilities and improve team collaboration.
