The 5 Styles of Business Intelligence
Successful organizations maximize the use of their data assets through business intelligence technology. The first data warehousing and decision support tools introduced companies to the power and benefits of accessing and analyzing their corporate data. Business users at every level found new, more sophisticated ways to analyze and report on the information mined from their vast data warehouses. Demand grew for an increasingly more powerful business intelligence solution that put the right information into the hands of every user within the enterprise.
Supporting Business Intelligence User's Demands
BI technology has evolved from these ever-increasing user demands to support five distinct application patterns — or styles. These five styles represent the complete spectrum of BI functionality required to support the monitoring, reporting and analytical needs of each and every business user. Most companies looking for a complete BI solution had to rely on multiple products from different niche vendors who supported only a single Style of BI.
The MicroStrategy platform is the only solution that delivers all 5 Styles of BI functionality to every user across the enterprise:
