Strategy offers over 100 native, built-in drivers that allow anyone to connect to popular data sources, including spreadsheets, databases, cloud applications, big data sources, and more. But in situations where organizations need to connect to other unique data sources, developers can use our powerful APIs to build their own custom data connectors. Once users have created custom connectors, they can post them in a public gallery on the Strategy Community.
- Every connector is optimized for high performance, with the ability to intelligently push down calculations to the database when needed, generate multi-pass SQL, load parallel threads simultaneously, and load data without restrictions on size or type
- The new public gallery on the MicroStrategy Community hosts connectors for a variety of sources, including Alation, OneDrive, Box, Cvent, MuleSoft, and ElasticSearch
- Partners and developers who build custom connectors can upload them to the public gallery to share with others in the community
- Business users can easily add new sources to the existing Strategy library and can blend data on their own without IT support
