Case Study: MicroStrategy achieves high-performance connectivity to Salesforce and Hadoop Hive with Progress DataDirect

MicroStrategy - Customer Case Study

Strategy, a global analytics and business intelligence provider, needed to keep its platform ahead of customer demand for direct access to newer data sources like Salesforce.com and Hadoop Hive while preserving high performance and broad database connectivity. The company relied on Progress Software’s Progress DataDirect ODBC drivers to maintain its data-source-agnostic analytics design and support its MicroStrategy Analytics Platform.

Progress Software implemented DataDirect ODBC drivers for Salesforce and Hive, enabling out-of-the-box, real-time connectivity without disruptive API recoding or costly re-integration. The result was faster, more flexible access to cloud and Hadoop data, simplified workflows, and a competitive advantage for Strategy, with support for 434 platform/database/driver configurations and improved performance by an order of magnitude for Salesforce access.
