Strategy ONE
MicroStrategy Web
MicroStrategy Web is an interactive, easy to use interface for all Business Intelligence (BI) reporting, analysis, and monitoring. With MicroStrategy Web, business users perform any of or all the major styles of BI - Scorecards and Dashboards, Enterprise Reporting, OLAP Analysis, Predictive Analysis, and Alerts and Proactive Notification - within a single, unified Web interface. Business users move seamlessly between all five styles of BI and even combine multiple styles within a single report display.
MicroStrategy Web can also be integrated with mapping services to create sophisticated Geospatial Information System (GIS) applications through the use of MicroStrategy GIS Connectors. GIS lets business users visualize data in forms such as maps, globes, reports, and charts so that they can identify and analyze relationships, patterns, and trends in their data. This Readme includes MicroStrategy GIS Connectors certification information in the Platform Certifications page. For information on how to install and configure the MicroStrategy GIS Connectors, see the GIS Integration Help.
System Requirements
For all certified systems, see Platform Certifications.
