In this consulting role I helped a large retirement services company implement Microstrategy as a reporting solution, replacing a largely unmaintained instance of SAP BusinessObjects 3.1. As part of the project, I helped them used an analytical approach to report consolidation, driving towards a "single source of truth" for reporting and avoiding the overhead of migrating 20,000 unnecessary reports to a new platform.
