There are two main components in a MicroStrategy Mobile deployment:

The client applications send requests for reports and documents to Mobile Server, and display the reports when they are received. For steps to deploy and configure client applications, see Deploying and Configuring the MicroStrategy Mobile Application.
• MicroStrategy Mobile Server, which performs the following functions:
• Maintains the configurations for devices, and connects the devices to projects on Intelligence Server.
• Receives reports and documents from Intelligence Server, and delivers them to the iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
