Portals

Allow your employees, partners, customers, and suppliers to decide what information they need and when, where, and how to receive it through a personalized, secure, graphically intuitive interface. MicroStrategy's business intelligence platform lets information consumers select from a wide range of choices how to receive information, for example, through the Web, in an email, or by voice. Whether you need a portal or want to augment existing non-MicroStrategy portals with reporting and analysis capabilities, MicroStrategy technology is both flexible and scalable to millions of users.

Requirements

Companies need to leverage their information assets by allowing employees, customers, suppliers, and partners to access relevant data quickly and easily. Portals must therefore leverage information assets from a variety of sources, and provide the appropriate business intelligence functionality to allow users to read reports, analyze data, and subscribe to services such as email delivery or alerting services. Personalization of information for the individual user is critical for all constituencies, from a unique customer site experience or bill presentment to limiting data analysis for particular partners or suppliers. Security measures must ensure that users can access only the data that is intended for them.
