Custom SQL in Metrics

Custom SQL overrides written directly in MicroStrategy metrics make translation unpredictable with generic tools.

Non‑SQL Data Sources

Non‑SQL database integrations like SAP BW or legacy ERP systems block simple metadata extraction.

Complex Date Logic

Highly dynamic date logic that relies on client‑side BI configurations is hard to map without deep platform knowledge.

MicroStrategy → dbt Semantic Layer migration — your questions answered

Does migration require a big‑bang cutover?+

We run your migration in a fixed scope. Your MicroStrategy vendor support remains active as long as your contract is in force — you set the pace. No forced cutover.

How do you handle custom SQL in MicroStrategy metrics?+

Custom SQL overrides are mapped line‑by‑line into dbt macros and refs. Our engineers, who are both MicroStrategy architects and dbt experts, preserve the logic exactly.

What if our MicroStrategy support contract ends before we finish?+

If your vendor renewal lapses, our third‑party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform while you complete the move. It is not vendor support and does not include vendor patches.

Can you migrate from MicroStrategy with SAP BW or ERP sources?+

Yes. Our proven methodology handles non‑SQL integrations by extracting the Semantic definitions and recreating them in dbt’s model Layer.

Beyond Migration: dbt Analytics Engineering & Support

After migration, keep your dbt Semantic Layer healthy with our analytics engineering advisory, pipeline orchestration, and metrics maintenance.
