The definitive MicroStrategy blog
Field Report
Last week I’ve attended a Free BI Class organized by MicroStrategy in Toronto, to see what’s new.
The presentation was really well planned – a mix of the usual sales pitch and a nice hands on web and desktop exercises.
Some new (at least to me) things that they’ve been working on are a great looking app for iPhone and some new geographic widgets, so heads up BigDataLabs. The app comes as no surprise, now that Apple no longer supports Flash. It takes advantage of the iPhone controls, including the G-sensor.
As a side note, there was a SAS training on the same floor as the Free BI Class, and the participants seemed to have a lot of fun in there, judging by their laughter. Our MSTR sales guy came with an awesome explanation – “Probably someone said it can be deployed in three months”

A while ago I had the opportunity to prepare a short training on the FreeForm SQL reports for some of my colleagues. I thought I’d better share this with you as well, so… here is a not-at-all-exhaustive list of things worth knowing about this type of report. What is a FF SQL? FreeForm SQL (aka

Intelligence Server SDK startup kit – v2

In the first episode of this series I showed you how to connect to a MicroStrategy project using VB6. Time has come to look at three ways that can be employed to find an object.
