Greater Efficiency for End Users

Users do not have to determine which tool to use for a specific report, analysis or scorecard. They always go to the same place. This also makes it easier for end users to collaborate effectively. When a coworker refers someone to the "sales report", there is no confusion over the report's location. It is simply known to be available in MicroStrategy Web. Similarly, when users create a new report, they can immediately share it with others or save it to their personal folder. Also, with a single, standard interface for reporting, analysis and monitoring, there is no need for multiple end user training programs or repetitive training when end users change roles or departments.

User Self-Service Leads to Easier Development and Administration

MicroStrategy Web promotes user self-service, providing a familiar experience for users with common Windows cues and techniques. Any user who is familiar with a basic Windows application will be comfortable in MicroStrategy Web. Its unified interface lets users freely monitor, report, analyze, investigate and schedule report delivery with full confidence. The ability to easily and centrally manage all users' access to reports, data and application functionality greatly increases efficiency for BI developers and administrators. End users benefit from using a single source of information with common, intuitive interactions that enable self-service and reduce the burden on IT.

Seamlessly Add User Functionality as Monitoring, Reporting and Analysis Needs Grow

With MicroStrategy Web, an administrator-defined permission system allows both novice and expert users to work in the same interface. Using a centralized metadata, administrators expose specific functionality to specific users (or groups of users) based on their role and security profile. And as users' monitoring, reporting and analysis needs mature and expand, they are able to move on to more sophisticated and interactive analysis using the same interface. At all times, administrators easily ensure that each user sees only the reports, data and functionality that they are permitted.

Future-Proof BI Hardware & Server Investment

MicroStrategy Web helps users future-proof their BI investments, allowing future software and hardware decisions to be unconstrained by their choice of BI platforms.
