BI migration has entered a new era

Metadata, schema objects, reports, dossiers and dependencies

MicroStrategy migrations can involve complex relationships across metadata, schema objects, reports, dossiers, filters and prompts. Understanding those dependencies is critical to preserving the underlying business logic during migration.

Universes, reports, metadata and semantic dependencies

BusinessObjects migrations must account for the relationships between universes, reports, metadata and underlying data sources. Changes to the semantic layer can have implications across a large reporting environment.

Framework Manager models, packages, report logic and metadata

Cognos environments rely heavily on modeled metadata. Framework Manager models, packages and reports can contain interdependent structures and business logic that need to be understood before they can be rebuilt and validated.

Financial models, dimensions, business rules and dependencies

Hyperion environments often encode financial logic across multidimensional models, calculations, business rules and reporting dependencies. Preserving those relationships is central to a successful migration.

Report formulas, formatting, parameters and data connections

Crystal Reports can contain significant logic within individual reports, including formulas, parameters, formatting and data-source definitions. That makes migration highly dependent on understanding how each report is constructed.

Load scripts, associative models, applications and data connections

Qlik applications bring together load scripts, data connections, data models and application objects. Understanding how these components interact is essential when migrating the underlying applications and logic.

LookML models, explores, dimensions and business logic

Looker places much of its business logic in LookML. Models, explores, dimensions, measures and derived logic therefore become important elements to understand and reconstruct during migration.

Datasets, dataflows, cards and embedded business logic

Domo environments can distribute logic across datasets, dataflows, cards and calculations. Understanding how those assets connect is important to determining what needs to be migrated, rebuilt or revalidated.

Worksheets, models, answers and search-driven semantics

ThoughtSpot's search-driven experience depends on the relationships between underlying models, worksheets and the analytical definitions used to generate Answers and other content. Those semantic relationships need to be preserved during migration.
