Platform Certification Changes in MicroStrategy 2021


Muna Abdi Yussuf

Product Manager • Strategy


This article summarizes the changes for platform certifications in MicroStrategy 2021.

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.

Description


Strategy continues to be dedicated to providing our customers with the most trusted and secure enterprise analytics platform by leveraging the latest and most secure technologies with our suite of products for enhanced performance, stability, and security. In pursuit of this effort, changes have been made to the configurations supported for Strategy 2021. The majority of third-party components that will no longer be supported are past their mainstream end-of-life dates. However, in some cases, configurations that are relatively ‘underutilized’ by Strategy customers may have also been deprecated in order to prioritize other certifications requested by a majority of customers. In order to continuously deliver the most secure, most compatible version of our latest platform release for all customers, new major releases of third-party software have been also been added. Customers planning to upgrade to Strategy 2021 are advised to implement certified third-party components within their Strategy environments. The details provided in this article summarize changes, however, please refer to our Certification Dossier for a comprehensive list of platform and data connectors certifications for Strategy 2021.
