Power BI Migration:

• Collaborate with the Power BI team to plan and execute the migration of MicroStrategy dashboards and data models to Power BI.
• Translate MicroStrategy metrics, KPIs, and visualizations into Power BI equivalents using DAX and Power Query.
• Ensure consistency in data representation, visualization, and interactivity post-migration.

API Integration & Automation:

• Leverage MicroStrategy APIs to access and manipulate metadata, automate reporting processes, and streamline data extraction.
• Develop custom scripts or connectors for data migration and integration between MicroStrategy and Power BI.
• Work with REST APIs for data extraction, transformation, and integration with other BI platforms.

Data Modeling & Performance Optimization:

• Optimize data models in both MicroStrategy and Power BI for scalability and performance.
• Implement best practices for ETL processes, data warehousing, and BI development.
• Conduct performance tuning for complex dashboards and large datasets to ensure efficient reporting.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Management:

• Work closely with business analysts, data engineers, and stakeholders to understand reporting needs and ensure a seamless migration experience.
• Provide technical support and training to Power BI users on newly migrated reports and dashboards.
• Conduct UAT (User Acceptance Testing) and data validation to ensure data accuracy and quality post-migration.

Quality Assurance & Documentation:

• Perform data reconciliation between MicroStrategy and Power BI reports to maintain data integrity.
• Create technical documentation, data mapping sheets, and user guides for the migration process.
• Implement version control and change management for both MicroStrategy and Power BI environments.

Preferred candidate profile

• Technical Expertise:
• 3-5+ years of hands-on experience with MicroStrategy development (reports, dashboards, schema objects).
• Strong knowledge of MicroStrategy REST APIs, SDK, and automation techniques.
• Experience with Power BI development, including data modeling, DAX, Power Query, and dataflows.
• Proficiency in SQL for querying and data manipulation.
• Experience with data modeling concepts (star/snowflake schema) and data warehousing.
• Migration Experience:
• Prior experience in migrating dashboards and data models from MicroStrategy to Power BI is required.
• Familiarity with common challenges in BI migration and best practices for seamless transitions.
• Soft Skills:
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently on complex projects.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to data accuracy and quality.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with other BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Qlik) is a plus.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms like Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud for BI solutions.
• Certification in MicroStrategy and/or Power BI is desirable.
• Experience with Python or other scripting languages for API integration and data manipulation.
