Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is debuting Strategy Mosaic, an AI-powered Universal Intelligence Layer designed to enable AI applications by connecting disparate data sources across the enterprise, providing consistent and secure access to information that empowers both business users and AI applications.
“With Mosaic, we’ve broken through the biggest barriers to business innovation: data silos, conflicting metrics, and high data transformation costs," said Saurabh Abhyankar, chief Product Officer at Strategy. "Our powerful semantic graph ensures a single source of truth for enterprise analytics, and Mosaic extends this with a universal layer of intelligence compatible with any cloud, reporting tool, and data source."
Sitting atop any database or data warehouse, Strategy Mosaic allows organizations to access diverse data sources. This unified layer supports AI, applications, and analytics use cases, enabling rapid development of data products without the need for custom data warehouses. Unlike traditional data catalogs and virtual data warehouses, Mosaic uses business definitions and user-friendly objects to represent data, according to the company.
Key features of Strategy Mosaic include:
- Rich semantic layer: Built on Strategy's proven semantic architecture, this ensures consistent business definitions and metrics across data sources. It includes comprehensive semantic concepts such as hierarchies, multi-form attributes, and transformations, all while centralizing security and governance policies.
- Universal Access: Mosaic features a standard access layer with support for third-party workloads via standard SQL (JDBC), DAX, REST, and Python APIs. It provides optimized connectors for popular tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Excel, and Google Sheets, and can connect to over 200 data sources, including files, applications, and databases.
- AI-powered data modeling (Mosaic Studio): Mosaic Studio uses AI to automate data preparation and modeling tasks. It analyzes data, auto-creates objects and relationships, applies aggregation functions, detects and removes duplicates, and enriches underlying data. Users can even create metrics using natural language prompts.
- Query Acceleration Engine: This in-memory engine enhances performance through push-down processing and cross-data source calculations, alleviating the load on data warehouses and reducing query costs.
- Enterprise-grade security and governance: Strategy Mosaic ensures comprehensive security and governance with features such as security filters, object-level access control, granular user privileges, and flexible authentication methods, applied consistently across all access points. Sensitive data remains protected from exposure to underlying LLMs.
Strategy Mosaic effectively addresses common pain points such as inconsistent metrics, security gaps, lack of AI readiness, and high analytic costs, the company said.
Strategy Mosaic is available now.
