MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Software

MicroStrategy Intelligence Server™

Features | Benefits | FAQs

MicroStrategy Intelligence Server™ is the industry's most advanced, scalable secure and robust business intelligence server. MicroStrategy Intelligence Server provides the core analytical processing and job management for all reporting, analysis and monitoring applications. Employing a Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA), MicroStrategy Intelligence Server makes it easy to standardize on a single, open platform for all your enterprise reporting and analysis needs through a number of access channels: Web browsers, Microsoft® Office, Desktop clients, and emails.

Most BI software specializes in one type of application (such as ad hoc analysis, reporting, or cube analysis), and as a result, many organizations own and maintain multiple BI architectures to support all the applications their users require. This fragmented model results in increased hardware, development and support costs. Additionally, users deal with multiple interfaces and with multiple, unlinked metadata repositories housing reports, analyses and business definitions. MicroStrategy Intelligence Server has been architected from the ground up to solve precisely these real world problems. It is the first and only BI server to provide the full range of BI applications through a unified metadata and a single integrated server running on Windows®, UNIX®, or Linux®.
