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.
