The MicroStrategy philosophy that our company, technology, people, and
ideas are singularly focused and prioritized on one thing above all others –
the success of your app.
Great Apps are Consequential
Apps that increase the velocity of decision-making
Great Apps are Durable
Embedded with insight which withstands the test of time
Great Apps are Hot
Finely crafted, information-driven iPhone apps. Apps that are built around workflows that lead people from data to decisions. Apps built on your business information and processes. Apps that let users explore information using touch and smart gestures. Mobile apps that use natural inputs that change context to meet the needs of the query: photo for barcode, GPS for location, microphone for voice, accelerometer for movements, compass for direction. Transactional mobile apps enthused with write-back and actionable capabilities that let users capture data, accelerate orders, submit purchases, and take actions.
A portable window into your business. Interact with your data wherever you are, don’t just look at it sitting at your desk. The magical iPad, coupled with MicroStrategy’s information-exploration gestures and stunning data visualizations, make analysis equally fascinating and captivating. Show and tell. Point to data outliers. Highlight problem areas. Drill into the data until you can see the very lowest level of transaction detail. There is nothing more powerful than seeing the right answer, sharing it immediately with colleagues via your iPad, and taking actions there and then.
