Strategy Ranked Amongst the 3 Highest Scoring Vendors for All Use Cases in the 2025 Gartner® Critical Capabilities for Analytics & BI Platforms

A Year of Transformation and Recognitions

The 2025 Gartner® Critical Capabilities for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms report is out, and Strategy has been ranked amongst the 3 highest scoring vendors across all evaluated use cases, including a #1 position for Composable Analytics. We believe this recognition underscores Strategy’s position as a primary enterprise analytics platform built for composability, governance, and intelligent insights. We also ranked #2 for Metrics Creation and #3 for Data Storytelling as well as for Governance.

Why We Believe Strategy Ranked #1 in Composable Analytics

In our view, this placement represents a significant milestone in a year marked by progress and innovation for our company, from our participation in the Gartner Bake-Off to the launch of Strategy Mosaic, our latest product breakthrough. This momentum is also reflected in our recent rebranding, simplifying our name to Strategy from MicroStrategy to better represent the value we provide to customers and shareholders alike.

For those who have followed our journey over the years, we've worked diligently to build a comprehensive platform. While we've traditionally been recognized for our governance capabilities, we're proud to now see strong positions across all critical dimensions of analytics and business intelligence capabilities, showcasing the maturity and comprehensive nature of Strategy One.

A Complete Analytics Platform for Every Use Case

The Gartner Critical Capabilities report evaluates vendors across four distinct use cases, each representing a different dimension of analytics and business intelligence capabilities:

• Metrics Creation: We've invested significantly in our metrics layer, data preparation capabilities, natural language query functionality, and data source connectivity. We believe our content management features further strengthen our offering in this category.
• Data Story Telling: We're proud of our natural language generation capabilities, automated insights, and flexible reporting options.
• Governance: This has long been an area of focus for us and a core part of what we believe is our value proposition. We have a design philosophy that balances user empowerment with the need for data accuracy and trust.
• Composable Analytics: We've built Strategy One for seamless integration, serving as the semantic layer at the core of your composable analytics ecosystem.

Cloud-Ready, Scalable, and Built for the Enterprise

Our comprehensive approach reflects our deliberate focus on three strategic pillars:

1. Enterprise-Grade Architecture

We've designed Strategy One with an API-first approach to provide enterprise scalability and integration flexibility. Our semantic layer enables consistent definitions across organizations while supporting our AI-powered features.

2. Intelligence Everywhere

We've invested in making analytics accessible to everyone through innovations like HyperIntelligence and stand-alone AI bots that can be deployed within Teams or embedded into other applications. We believe these capabilities significantly expand who can benefit from data-driven insights.

3. Cloud-Ready Deployment

We built Strategy One to support Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform, offering deployment flexibility. We achieved FedRAMP certification for AWS deployments and support customer-managed cloud implementations to help organizations meet their specific regulatory and operational requirements.

What This Means for Our Customers

For organizations evaluating analytics solutions, in our opinion, this recognition highlights Strategy's unique position as a platform that excels across all dimensions of modern business intelligence:

• For Business Users: Natural language interaction with data, automated insights, and intuitive data storytelling capabilities
• For IT Leaders: Robust governance, scalable architecture, and flexible deployment options
• For Developers: Comprehensive APIs, embedding capabilities, and integration with existing systems
• For Executives: Trusted, consistent metrics and insights that drive confident decision-making

Strategy Mosaic: Accelerating Our Vision

We've recently introduced Strategy Mosaic, our Universal Intelligence Layer, which we believe enhances our offerings across multiple dimensions:

• For Metrics Creation: Mosaic's universal semantic layer provides consistent business definitions across data sources.
• For Data Storytelling: By delivering connected data with proper context, Mosaic helps ensure that insights are based on complete information.
• For Governance: Mosaic's centralized security model supports consistent enforcement of policies across data sources.
• For Composable Analytics: Mosaic's universal access capabilities through standard interfaces (SQL, REST, Python) facilitate embedding analytics into applications.

Looking Ahead: Building on Our Progress

While celebrating this recognition, we're already focused on enhancing areas where we can deliver even more value. Our commitment remains steadfast: delivering a complete, enterprise-grade analytics platform that combines governance with accessibility, power with ease-of-use, and depth with breadth. As we continue our journey as Strategy, we believe this Gartner Critical Capabilities recognition reflects the strength of our approach.
