According to Gartner, “By 2020, natural-language generation and artificial intelligence will be a standard feature of 90% of modern business intelligence platforms.”1 Through its portfolio of product capabilities and roadmap, Strategy has significantly invested in building a platform that incorporates natural language generation (NLG) and AI capabilities, a direction that it believes is aligned with Gartner’s strategic planning assumptions. Download a complimentary copy of the “2018 Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms” today.



Strategy will be one of four vendors participating in Gartner’s “BI Bake-off: The Modern BI and Analytics Platform.” The three other vendors are Microsoft Corporation, Qlik Technologies, Inc., and Tableau Software, Inc. Hosted by Gartner Research VP Cindi Howson, the BI Bake-off will take place on Sunday, March 4, at the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2018 in Grapevine, Texas. Strategy is also a premier plus sponsor at the event.

“The pendulum of customer needs is swinging towards what we have always known: organizations want ease-of-use and fast insights for their business users as well as governance, scalability and high performance. With Strategy, organizations get a single platform that delivers modern data discovery at scale and a single version of the truth that business users can trust,” said Michael J. Saylor, CEO, Strategy Incorporated. “We believe a modern analytics platform should deliver both departmental and enterprise capabilities, a unique combination that is available today with Strategy. We are excited to be one of four vendors participating in the Gartner BI Bake-off event next month. From our view, we look forward to sharing our vision of the Intelligent Enterprise™ and demonstrating our platform’s powerful capabilities.”

Strategy Brings Governance with New Connectors to Other Data Discovery Tools
To promote a more open and powerful analytics ecosystem, Strategy recently announced the availability of new connectors to other data discovery tools —  Microsoft Power BI, Qlik Technologies, and Tableau Software. With these connectors, Strategy allows organizations to continue using other data discovery tools, while fully leveraging Strategy’s enterprise strength to get one version of the truth in a more secure, scalable, and governed environment.

Cutting-edge Natural Language Query Capabilities and Alexa Integration Available on the Strategy Platform
With the latest Strategy platform, organizations can drive adoption of analytics to an extended user population by delivering NLG and natural language query capabilities as part of Strategy’s data discovery offering. With these capabilities, users can translate existing visualizations into intelligent text-based narratives via Strategy’s integration with leading NLG vendors such as Automated Insights and Narrative Science. Additionally, analysts can perform natural language queries, making it incredibly easy to access data without any coding skills. The Strategy platform also supports integration with voice-guided applications such as Alexa and Google Home, and chatbot applications such as Facebook and Skype. 

Leading Organizations Praise Strategy
Strategy customers, including Freddie Mac, 3M, and numerous other organizations, have lauded Strategy.

“Freddie Mac and Strategy have a relationship spanning two decades of demonstrated business value,” said Dennis Tally, Director, Single Family Data Governance & Management at Freddie Mac. “Strategy 10 delivers enterprise BI and mobile application development capabilities that Freddie Mac successfully deployed across our business, including two external facing applications in 2017. We have a strategic relationship, including access to the Strategy executive team, allowing us to influence product development for matters critical to our business. We expect to achieve even greater benefits from our Strategy investments in 2018.”
“We have experienced a lot of success using Strategy for over five years now. Our business deals mainly with protected health information so security is of utmost importance to our analytics applications,” said Dan Cody, Application Manager, 3M Health Information Systems. “Strategy is very user friendly and our training effort is nominal, with clients trained and running their own analysis within a day. Strategy 10 is incredibly flexible and powerful, and has allowed us to fully automate many of our day to day tasks.”
