STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY PARTNER · STRATEGY
Build governed analytics on Strategy Mosaic and Strategy BI. Bassirah models business definitions, security and data access on top of your governed data platforms, then delivers them to reporting, embedded analytics and AI agents.

Strategy is one of Bassirah’s Strategic Technology Partners. Our relationship is subject to the applicable Strategy partner program and agreement. Implementation scope, resell rights and support entitlements are confirmed in each customer engagement. Available features depend on your Strategy plan, edition, contract and deployed version.
WHY STRATEGY
When every dashboard, application and AI agent calculates revenue, margin or churn its own way, teams argue about numbers instead of acting on them.
Strategy describes Strategy Mosaic as a universal semantic layer that defines governed metrics, relationships, calculations and access policies once and applies them across BI, applications, data products and AI. Mosaic connects to data where it already lives, and exposes the same definitions to BI tools, applications and AI agents through SQL, DAX, MDX, REST APIs and MCP. Alongside Mosaic, Strategy offers enterprise reporting, interactive dashboards and embedded analytics.
A semantic layer is only as good as the data and definitions behind it. Bassirah starts from your governed data platforms, metric owners and access rules, then designs, implements and validates the semantic model and the BI experiences on top of it against agreed acceptance criteria. Capabilities differ by Strategy plan, edition and deployed version.
WHAT BASSIRAH DELIVERS
Our Strategy engagements cover the semantic layer, the analytics experiences on top of it and the operating model around both.
USE CASES
Solution concepts. Each design is validated against your data and tools.
Define metrics once in Mosaic and serve them to Strategy dashboards and to other BI tools, so finance, operations and product teams report the same numbers.
Give AI agents and assistants governed business definitions and access policies through Mosaic’s MCP server instead of raw tables.
Deliver reports, dashboards and white-labeled analytics inside your products and portals, on the same governed definitions.
ARCHITECTURE DISCIPLINE
Semantic layer and BI outcomes are decided by data, definitions and ownership more than by dashboards. We make these decisions explicit, document them and test them.
| Design area | What we decide | How we validate |
|---|---|---|
| Plan and deployment | Strategy plan and edition, cloud or private deployment, environments | Decision record against operating model, compliance and cost assumptions |
| Data sources | Which warehouse, lakehouse and operational sources Mosaic connects to, and how | Connectivity, data type and query load tests on representative data |
| Semantic model | Metrics, attributes, hierarchies, calendars and relationships; owner per definition | Reconciliation of key metrics against agreed reference reports |
| Security | Row-level and object-level security, privileges, identity integration | Access tests per role against your control framework |
| Consumption | Strategy dashboards and reports, other BI tools, applications, AI agents via MCP | Same-question, same-answer checks across consumers |
| AI features | Which AI-assisted and agent capabilities to enable, for whom, on which data | Pilot with agreed quality and governance criteria |
| Operations | Monitoring, audit, change control for definitions, upgrade path | Change rehearsal and audit review |
Bring your key metrics and data sources. We will plan a scoped proof of concept with acceptance criteria you agree.
CHOOSE YOUR BI ROUTE
Bassirah supports both commercial and open-source analytics. They are different procurement, support and operating models. Choose the one that fits your requirements, or ask us to compare them for your workload.
| Decision factor | Partner-led Strategy (this page) | Apache Superset, independent support |
|---|---|---|
| Software | Strategy Mosaic and Strategy BI, per the customer's Strategy subscription | Self-managed Apache Superset (Apache License 2.0) |
| Licensing and cost | Commercial subscription with Strategy, subject to contract | No license fee; infrastructure and engineering costs remain |
| Vendor support | Provided by Strategy under the customer's subscription, where included. Bassirah does not provide Strategy's vendor support | No vendor support, escalation or security-fix commitment implied |
| Semantic layer | Mosaic universal semantic layer serving several BI tools, applications and AI agents | Superset's own datasets and metrics; sharing definitions with other tools and agents needs a separate design |
| Operations ownership | Depends on plan and deployment model; Bassirah engineering and operations as contracted | Customer, with Bassirah engineering and optional contracted managed support |
| Best fit | Enterprise-wide governed metrics, enterprise reporting, embedded analytics with commercial assurances | Teams that want full control of infrastructure and accept self-managed operation without vendor support |
| Bassirah's role | Semantic modeling, integration, security design, migration and operations alongside Strategy | Deployment, security, dashboards, upgrades and contracted managed support |
Available features depend on plan, edition, contract and deployed version. Bassirah does not make feature promises until the plan and contract are confirmed. For conversational analytics on banking data, see GenBI from Bassirah Innovation & R&D.
WORKS WELL WITH
A semantic layer sits on top of governed data. We connect Strategy to the platforms that store, serve and govern that data, where the connector and your versions support it.
Federated SQL access across sources; Strategy lists a Trino JDBC driver among its connectors.
Analytical serving underneath dashboards, on partner-led ClickHouse or ClickHouse OSS. Strategy lists a ClickHouse JDBC driver.
Ownership, glossary and lineage for the data behind your metrics, governed upstream of the semantic layer.
Test and document the REST APIs and MCP endpoints that applications and agents use to reach governed data.
SEE IT IN CONTEXT
Governed lakehouse data as the foundation for a semantic layer and enterprise BI.
Metric ownership and lineage as part of a practical governance operating model.
Semantic layer, BI and data platform integration delivered as one engineering workstream.
HOW WE ENGAGE
Yes. The company rebranded from MicroStrategy to Strategy in February 2025. Its enterprise analytics software is now marketed under the Strategy name, including Strategy Mosaic and Strategy BI. Bassirah works with Strategy’s enterprise analytics software.
Strategy describes Mosaic as a universal semantic layer. It defines governed metrics, relationships, calculations and access policies once and applies them across BI tools, applications, data products and AI agents. It connects to data where it already lives and offers access through SQL, DAX, MDX, REST APIs and MCP.
No. Strategy positions Mosaic as a layer above your data platforms and beneath your tools, so teams can keep using BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau while reading the same governed definitions. We confirm which tools, connectors and versions you run before designing the integration.
Strategy states that AI agents can query governed metrics through Mosaic’s MCP server, with access controls applied. We design which data and definitions agents can reach, test answers against agreed reference results and monitor usage. No semantic layer guarantees that an AI answer is correct, so evaluation stays part of the design.
No. Vendor support is provided by Strategy according to the customer’s own subscription. Bassirah provides architecture, implementation, migration, integration and contracted managed support alongside it.
It depends on how many tools and consumers need the same governed metrics, your need for enterprise reporting and embedded analytics, commercial support requirements and how much infrastructure you want to run. We compare both routes for your workload; see the comparison above.
