MicroStrategy® is a leading worldwide provider of enterprise analytics
and mobility software. Our mission is to provide enterprise customers with a
world-class software platform and expert services so they can deploy unique
intelligence applications.
MicroStrategy 10™, our flagship platform offering, consolidates analytics
and mobility in a single unified platform. The MicroStrategy 10 platform is
available on Windows®, Linux and Amazon Web Services (“AWS”),
and as a hosted service offering through MicroStrategy Cloud™. Our platform
offers a comprehensive suite of business intelligence functionality, from data
discovery to mobile analytics, data mining, Big Data analytics, enterprise reporting
and powerful identity intelligence generated by digital credentials. MicroStrategy
10 builds on proven enterprise capabilities to make sophisticated, high-performance
analytics more accessible, easier to use, and faster. MicroStrategy 10 consists
of MicroStrategy Analytics™, MicroStrategy Mobile™, and Usher®.
MicroStrategy Analytics empowers large organizations to analyze vast amounts
of data and securely distribute actionable business insight throughout an enterprise,
while also being able to cater to smaller workgroups and departmental use via
MicroStrategy Desktop™. MicroStrategy Analytics delivers reports and dashboards,
and enables users to conduct ad hoc analysis and share insights anywhere, anytime,
via mobile devices (via MicroStrategy Mobile) or the web (via MicroStrategy
Web™). It also combines the agility and productivity of self-service visual
data discovery with the security, scalability, and governance features of enterprise-grade
business intelligence. Additionally, MicroStrategy Analytics delivers powerful
identity intelligence on user behavior and resource utilization (via Usher).
MicroStrategy Web is the primary interface for analysts, data scientists, consumers
and developers, offering interactive reporting, dashboarding, and ad-hoc data
discovery capabilities through a web browser. With MicroStrategy Web, users
can design and deliver reports and dashboards across various styles of business
intelligence, including scorecards, pixel-perfect documents and invoices, and
interactive reports and dashboards, as well as for visual data discovery. MicroStrategy
Web can also connect to a wide range of data sources, and be used to build sophisticated
advanced analytical models that may be inserted within reports and dashboards.
MicroStrategy reports and dashboards can be personalized and automatically delivered
to thousands of users with MicroStrategy Server™’s advanced distribution
capabilities. Web applications can also be extensively customized and embedded
into other applications using MicroStrategy Web SDK for a branded experience.
MicroStrategy Desktop is a free, standalone, on-premise, single-user tool for
fast, powerful, and easy-to-use self-service visual data discovery. It enables
business users to analyze and gain valuable insight and understanding into their
organizations’ data by quickly creating stunning and useful visualizations,
without assistance from the IT department. MicroStrategy Desktop can be readily
downloaded and installed on a PC or Mac, making the power of MicroStrategy 10
easily available. MicroStrategy Desktop can be used while offline and while
not connected to MicroStrategy Server. MicroStrategy Desktop connects to MicroStrategy
Server when needed, allowing for governance workflows that deliver data discovery
capabilities to the enterprise at scale.
MicroStrategy Mobile is fully integrated into the MicroStrategy Analytics platform,
so it is easy to leverage existing reports and dashboards to instantly deploy
mobile business intelligence. In addition, MicroStrategy Mobile extends beyond
analytics to enable organizations to rapidly build custom enterprise mobility
applications that deliver analytics combined with transactions, multimedia,
and mapping to support business workflows. The robust code-free application
development platform is designed to reduce development costs and accelerate
the deployment of native mobile business apps optimized for both iOS® and
Android™. Companies can build fully native iOS and Android apps that take
advantage of the unique device and operating system capabilities (e.g., GPS/location,
calendar, and camera) on those devices. MicroStrategy Mobile is an easy, fast,
and cost-effective vehicle for mobilizing an organization’s information
systems, including its data warehouses, business intelligence, ERP, CRM, and
web applications that are currently accessible only on the desktop. With MicroStrategy
Mobile, businesses can transform their entire workforce into a connected and
more productive mobile workforce. With mobile access to critical corporate data
and systems that drive the business, employees can have a virtual office in
their hands at all times. MicroStrategy Mobile also enables companies to deploy
customized, white-labeled mobile apps to business partners and customers. These
apps can serve as new or enhanced offerings that differentiate an organization’s
product or service to business partners or customers.
Usher delivers to its users unique mobile identity badges, each cryptographically
linked to its owner’s smartphone and dynamically linked to the enterprise’s
existing identity repositories, that are highly secure and convenient for organizations
to deploy. Usher badges work on standard smartphones running on iOS or the Android
platform and include an Apple Watch® integration. Through the use of Bluetooth®,
QR codes, biometrics, push notifications, time-limited PIN codes, and other
authentication methods, Usher badge users can log into applications, VPNs, and
workstations, unlock doors and other physical gateways, and validate each other’s
identities. Usher badge users are also able to scan barcodes for asset tracking
applications. Usher can additionally serve as a powerful enterprise productivity
tool with Usher Professional™, a dynamic and searchable employee directory
that facilitates communication among users, and gives managers insight into
the location and activity of their distributed workforce. Usher Professional
users can view badge user activity on a nearly real-time map and manage or direct
their workforce by engaging in two-way communication with badge users. In the
Enterprise Internet of Things (“EIoT”) paradigm, interactions between
Usher users and enterprise resources generate real-time telemetry, which can
be efficiently harnessed in Usher Analytics™, creating actionable intelligence.
By delivering strong yet convenient authentication that can be extended to nearly
every corporate system, Usher can uncover insights, reduce infrastructure complexity,
and secure assets -- all to help businesses flourish in the age of connected
devices and connected people. Usher addresses some of the biggest challenges
facing corporations today, including authentication, identity and access management,
and resource authorization, while applying industry-leading business intelligence
and analytics to an enterprise’s infrastructure.

(“OEMs”) around the world rely on the capabilities of the MicroStrategy
platform, including its functionality, workflows, report presentation, user
management, security, administration, system configuration, and monitoring,
to build branded and custom applications of their own. Our platform’s
open architecture and APIs make it especially suitable for developing custom
functionality or integrating with other applications. Organizations seeking
to add analytics features to their own offerings can easily and directly embed
the platform into their business applications or portals with white labeling
and single sign-on options.
