MicroStrategy Intelligence Goes Mobile with Amazon
A goal of real-time pervasive business intelligence is to empower information workers with the most current and accurate information in support of the organisation, and mobility is an element of the pervasive model. In support of this, MicroStrategy has moved to make its business intelligence reports, dashboards and scorecards available on the Amazon Kindle DX – a wireless reading device that gets its content via a wireless connection.
Kindle DX enables users to view, share and store thousands of MicroStrategy BI reports and dashboards on the go. With MicroStrategy, Kindle DX users can receive reports on a scheduled basis, and set up email alerts triggered by important business indicators that inform them of time-sensitive issues.
