MicroStrategy 2019, which can be deployed on-premises or on multiple private and public cloud platforms, is designed to make every enterprise a more Intelligent Enterprise with:
Federated Analytics. This mainstream category of analytics is targeted at analysts and data scientists, who enable long-term decision making. Whether it’s with dossiers, dashboards, or predictive models, or reporting for project performance, financial statements, or billing, MicroStrategy 2019 is designed to empower users with trusted analytics. Analysts who access data using Excel, Power BI, Qlik, or Tableau and data scientists who leverage RStudio or Jupyter Notebook can boost their productivity by using the MicroStrategy 2019 platform for trusted, scalable, federated analytics.
Transformational Mobility. This category of analytical applications is targeted at the increasingly mobile workforce and delivers more ways for organizations to quickly deploy mobile productivity apps for a variety of business functions and roles. Users can build apps using mobile dossiers, no code drag-and-drop, and customized development using XCode or JavaScript.
HyperIntelligence. This new category of analytics is designed to transform the way people interact with information and find answers by seamlessly delivering intelligence through zero-click experiences. With the HyperCard™ application, users with Google Chrome can hover over highlighted words on websites and other browser-based applications to instantly bring up relevant, contextual insights. With HyperIntelligence, users can also leverage APIs to design and deploy AI applications that deliver zero-click experiences via voice assistants, image recognition software, and GPS applications.
At the core of MicroStrategy 2019 is its Enterprise Semantic Graph™.
