This video demonstrates the following MicroStrategy capabilities relating to data source connectivity:
How reports, dashboards, ad hoc queries and analysis be created "out of the box" from at least one multidimensional online analytical processing (MOLAP) data source such as Hyperion Essbase, SQL Server Analysis Services - traditional OLAP and/or tabular models, NetWeaver BW or Oracle OLAP
Connectivity capabilities to other data sources such as XML, RSS feeds, JSON, Microsoft SharePoint list, flat file, spreadsheets, other. List which ones.
Demonstrate how the product analyzes unstructured data sources (text, video, voice, log files) and list each one and how. Demonstrate connectivity to Twitter and Facebook.
How the product supports direct query access via SQL and/or MDX. Confirm if using native adaptors or ODBC/JDBC. List Native adaptors provided.
How the product connects to big data sources HDFS (direct HDFS query or access to MapReduce through Hive or access through Spark).
