MicroStrategy Intelligence Server™ is the industry's most advanced, scalable, secure and robust business intelligence server. MicroStrategy Intelligence Server provides the core analytical processing and job management for all reporting, analysis and monitoring applications. Employing a Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA), MicroStrategy Intelligence Server makes it easy to standardize on a single, open platform for all your enterprise reporting and analysis needs through a number of access channels: Web browsers, Microsoft® Office, Desktop clients, and email.
Most BI software specializes in one type of application (such as ad hoc analysis, reporting, or cube analysis), and as a result, many organizations own and maintain multiple BI architectures to support all the applications their users require. This fragmented model results in increased hardware, development, and support costs. Additionally, users are forced to deal with multiple interfaces and unlinked metadata repositories housing a wide variety of reports, analyses, and business definitions. MicroStrategy Intelligence Server has been architected from the ground up to solve precisely these real world problems. It is the first and only BI server to support the full range of BI applications – from workgroup and departmental, to enterprise-wide BI – through a unified metadata and a single integrated server running on Windows®, UNIX®, or Linux®.
