Simplified Real-Time Data Platform for Business Analytics and Visualization
Reporting and Analyzing Information in Real Time
∙ Handle large volumes of information continuously vs. within a batch window
∙ Conduct business 24x7
∙ Detect and respond to business events as they happen
∙ Track all changes for auditing purposes
∙ Synchronize data across the enterprise
∙ Rapidly deploy new applications using data on legacy systems
Organizations across a broad range of industries are using new analytical solutions to help capitalize on the tremendous volume and variety of available data. Businesses are using insights from this data to launch more targeted customer promotions, reduce customer churn, increase operational efficiencies, thwart fraud, improve service levels, boost product or service quality and more.
Top performing organizations must be able to analyze and visualize their data quickly and easily—regardless of the applications that created it, the platform it’s running on, or the database in which it is stored. This desire for accurate, relevant, and complete information is department or line of business agnostic and spans across the entire company.
Competitive organizations strive to sense and respond to relevant data changes throughout the day. With growing data volume and data integration challenges, the ability to use advanced analytics to drive better decision making and to gain insight has become urgent. Information Technology and business leaders are challenged to transform their organizations to continually leverage new data and intelligence.
Micro Strategies, Inc. is uniquely positioned to provide leadership to organizations facing the challenges of better integrating data across the business. We provide experience and guidance to our clients on how to best leverage today’s modern analytics, reporting, and data platforms.
“Micro Strategies’ Pronto solution has enabled us to leverage our data and expertise in an aggressive, proactive and analytical manner. Pronto’s ability to provide real-time analytics by combining PureData for Analytics (Netezza), Change Data Delivery (CDD) and Cognos has truly transformed our analytical capabilities and increased our ability to provide our management team with the best information possible to strategically manage all business decisions.”

Our Pronto integration appliance and data platform enables any line of business to better use their data and achieve results, without the need for lengthy IT projects.
The Pronto solution provides a high value, pre-configured data platform that quickly delivers:
∙ Real Time data and information extraction with broad, heterogeneous support for a wide range of databases, operating systems and platforms
∙ Turn key, high performance, massively parallel Data Warehouse
∙ World class visualization and Business Intelligence
The Pronto solution helps retail, marketing, financial services, media and telco organizations adapt to the new data-focused world, by overcoming the following challenges:
Reporting and analyzing information in real time: Traditional reporting is prepared from data sources updated on a daily or weekly basis. In today’s competitive marketplace, real-time data has become a key differentiator for solutions such as omnichannel commerce and inventory management or services billing by the minute or fractions of a day.
Smaller batch windows and larger data volumes: More and more information is electronically captured by default—such as online transaction data, inventory data, and customer information. Many organizations are finding that an overnight batch window is no longer enough for traditional extract, transform and load (ETL) tools to integrate the growing amount of data.
Conducting business 24x7: As more business is transacted over the internet and across time zones, the number of “non-business” hours available to run reports or synchronize internal systems without disrupting availability is vanishing. It can be challenging to extract data from downsteam applications in near real-time.
Tracking all changes for auditing purposes: As the ongoing regulatory environment and security challenges of business change, having detailed records of all data changes becomes imperative. Net changes can hide activity that may provide insight critical to security or auditors.
Synchronizing data across the business: Customers want up-to-the-minute online access to product inventory, order status, payment, and account data. Empowered employees need much of the same information so they can better service customers and make the best business decisions. Data needs to flow in near real-time to reporting and analytics platforms.
Leverage real-time data across your business
Rapidly and cost effectively implementing new applications using data on legacy systems: Reliable, legacy systems are frequently still in use because they work well for specific tasks. As the business grows, the data from those key systems becomes critical to new business applications, but changing or updating legacy systems can be costly. Bringing the data of legacy systems to new modern systems without impacting the existing workload is key to successful adoption.
Delivering answers in an instant: With improved data comes more demand. Customers and internal users need answers immediately, not after minutes or hours of “processing”.
Visualize the state of the business: Great data must be accessible and understood. Modern data platforms must provide the tools to visualize and compare the performance of the business in new ways that deliver valuable insight to business leaders.
If these challenges sound familiar, you can take steps to eliminate them by implementing our Pronto appliance. Pronto is a turn-key solution from Micro Strategies that is tailor-made to integrate data in near real-time and provide your business users with a powerful data platform. The Pronto solution leverages proven, change data capture technology and an industry leading hardware accelerated, data warehouse appliance compatible with all business intelligence and visualization tools in the industry.
