shorter half-life – typically in the order of minutes.
Spot and act on outliers as they happen Problems and opportunities typically occur when events happen outside the normal scope of operations. The best businesses are able to quickly identify these outliers and take action. MicroStrategy’s auto refresh and rapid polling architecture allows for automated identification and response to these events. • Spot system faults in a manufacturing line and dispatch technicians. • Trigger autoload balancers when critical website response times increase.
Act on information – while it matters The window of opportunity when action can make a significant impact is often measured in minutes. MicroStrategy’s powerful transaction engine allows action to be taken quickly, and in context. • Reallocate work if a machine malfunctions. • Email a technician if website traffic spikes.
