MicroStrategy BI Alerting and Proactive Notification

Business Intelligence Software MicroStrategy Alerting and Proactive Notification

Effective Alerting and Proactive Notification requires a flexible, well-designed BI application capable of distributing large numbers of reports and alerts to large user populations both internal and external to the enterprise. Most BI vendors support a minimal form of the Alerting and Proactive Notification style of BI, with products that can distribute scheduled emails to user populations with report attachments. MicroStrategy's architecture improves on this basic report delivery and alerting functionality in four key areas and accomplishes this with the highest report throughput available today - producing more than 70,000 reports per hour with minimal hardware.

MicroStrategy Platform Features that Support Alerting & Proactive Analysis:

Report Distribution Through Any Touchpoint

MicroStrategy reports can be automatically distributed through the widest range of user touchpoints on the market -- including email, Web browsers, networked printers, networked file servers and corporate portals.

Self-subscription and Administrator-based Distribution

MicroStrategy lets users subscribe to reports, as well as sub-scribe other users to relevant reports, without relying on their IT administrator for help. Self-subscription of the Web with Micro-Strategy greatly reduces administration costs while enabling application deployment to sizeable user populations.

Delivery On-Demand, On-Schedule or On-Event

MicroStrategy users have complete control over the timing of all of their report distributions. They can also customize the reports that they receive and immediately distribute the new results to other users.
