True Enterprise-wide Reporting
Narrowcast
Server is the natural way to implement Enterprise Reporting with
the MicroStrategy platform. The platform's seamless integration means
that Narrowcast Server can batch process and deliver any pixel-perfect
quality documents created through MicroStrategy Report Services,
as well as automate delivery over the Web using MicroStrategy Web.

Secure Information Delivery
MicroStrategy
Narrowcast Server inherits all of the security features of the MicroStrategy
BI platform. User identity is confirmed at the time of subscription,
and platform security mechanisms such as security filters, privileges
and Access Control Lists are enforced during content generation
and delivery.

Efficient Workload Balancing
Narrowcast
Server employs powerful algorithms to efficiently break down workload
across clustered hardware. This allows for a variety of hardware
configurations that best support your security, performance and
reliability requirements. While even the Standard Edition supports
firewalls to separate web, application and database layers, the
Enterprise Edition provides hot fail over support and workload distribution
over multiple systems.

Subscription Through Portal or MicroStrategy
Web
Using an intuitive web-based interface, your users can
easily define the personalization, frequency and delivery mechanism
for their own information. Email subscription is also available
to
MicroStrategy Web users. Web-based self-subscription enables
deployment to large global communities with minimal IT administration.

Profile-based Personalization
MicroStrategy
Narrowcast Server provides deep, data-driven personalization that
is determined by user preferences, security profiles and advanced
analytics. This user-level personalization determines the content
and exception conditions, controls access to information sources
and incorporates the appropriate analysis from terabytes of data.
Personalized data is delivered in the format requested (HTML, XLS,
PDF, CSV, XML, etc.) and includes support for dynamic functionality
in output formats like DTHML and Excel spreadsheets with macros.

Scalable Delivery and Alerting
MicroStrategy Narrowcast Server
administrators can create content once and then distribute this
content to the broadest range of user devices - including printers,
faxes, emails, file servers, portals and mobile devices. The MicroStrategy
platform can easily generate 100,000 personalized reports per hour
from a single server. The sophisticated message management and XML-based
architecture ensure that the information will be formatted appropriately
for any selected device.
