Graphical Design Interface

MicroStrategy System Manager's Graphical Interface lets BI administrators build multi-step, administrative processes as a single automated workflow. Absolutely no coding knowledge is required and anyone can build a workflow by simply dragging and dropping processes, arranging them in the desired sequence and joining them with connectors.

Workflows Execute Automatically on a Pre-determined Schedule

MicroStrategy System Manager's workflows can be automatically executed on a predefined schedule or on-demand. When a process workflow is trigged, it runs on its own, without any human oversight. A combination of decision nodes and email notifications in the workflow enables it to proactively send alerts to administrators.

Storing processes in a workflow format provides BI teams with a visual view of the process flow. The visual format facilitates easy understanding of any process reducing training costs and ensures that personnel role transitions are smooth.

Complex Processes As Automated Workflows

MicroStrategy System Manager connects MicroStrategy and non-MicroStrategy operations together in a single workflow in any desired sequence. Using connectors and programmatic elements, an organization can easily convert even its most complex processes into a workflow.
