A global leader in digital payment technology, facilitating billions of transactions annually across more than 200 countries, set out to modernize its business intelligence infrastructure. With a diverse portfolio of credit, debit, and prepaid card services supporting financial institutions, merchants, and governments worldwide, the organization needed to migrate from its legacy BI platform, MicroStrategy, to the open-source Apache Superset. The migration had to be fast, accurate, and compliant with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards—ensuring accessibility without compromising dashboard functionality.
Traditional migration approaches were too manual, slow, and prone to errors. Persistent was entrusted with full ownership of the transition, delivering a solution that prioritized automation, transparency, and compliance. The process began with a GenAI-powered analysis of existing MicroStrategy dashboards, metrics, and formulas—cutting down analysis time by 80% and laying a solid foundation for migration.
To ensure consistency and eliminate ambiguity, Persistent built a technology-neutral metadata layer using its BI Migration accelerator. This guaranteed 100% accuracy in dashboard mapping and reconstruction. ADA compliance was seamlessly integrated into the migration framework, enabling inclusive workflows aligned with the client’s DEI goals. The actual migration was executed using Apache Superset APIs, automating dashboard creation and minimizing manual intervention.
The results were clear and impactful. Automated migration delivered reliable, error-free dashboards. ADA compliance was achieved without additional overhead, making accessibility a built-in feature rather than an afterthought. Comprehensive documentation ensured smooth acceptance across business and technology teams. Operational efficiency improved dramatically, with delivery timelines accelerated and resource dependency reduced.
Persistent’s BI Migration accelerator proved to be a key differentiator, automating traditionally manual tasks and delivering both accuracy and speed. By embedding ADA standards into the same migration process, the solution remained inclusive and cost-effective. The integration of Azure OpenAI capabilities added further intelligence and predictability to the migration.
What won the client’s trust was Persistent’s deep domain expertise in both MicroStrategy and Apache Superset, its accelerator-driven approach, and a clear roadmap backed by measurable outcomes. The result was a seamless, compliant, and future-ready BI transformation—delivered with precision and purpose.
