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 - through the Web, in an email, via voice. Eliminating costly administration overhead, our subscription portal lets you give those consumers the option to select how and when they wish to receive this information. Whether you need a portal or want to augment existing non-MicroStrategy portals with reporting, analysis, and information subscription capability, our technology is both flexible and scalable to millions of users.

Companies need to leverage their information assets by allowing employees, customers, suppliers, and partners to access relevant data quickly and easily. Portals need to 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 for key information. 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 intended for them.

MicroStrategy was the first Business Intelligence vendor to offer business intelligence solutions over the Web. Our platform was built from the ground up for the Internet, with a pure-web architecture provides the web reporting, security, performance and standards that are critical for deployment over the Internet. Our web products can implement your portal application out-of-the-box, or be easily integrated into your existing portal. In addition, Narrowcast Server provides a subscription portal to allow users to self-subscribe to reports and alerts – electing to receive only the information they want, when they want it, via the device of their choice.

• Presentation of other information sources through one portal
