Adapt to Changing Business Priorities Constantly Search Your Data for the Latest Important Information While scorecard systems are ideal for tracking business performance compared to plan, they are not well suited to helping people manage the dynamic aspects of a constantly changing business landscape imposed by competitive pressures, market shifts, supplier performance, merger events, regulatory changes, and economic drivers. Nowadays, business people also need an “information radar” that can be constantly tuned by the business person to continuously scour the databases for the latest important and changing nuggets of information. Let Users Set Up Their Own Personal Information Radars MicroStrategy 8 lets business people set up their own personal information radars by subscribing to reports, scorecards, and alerts and setting them up for proactive delivery via e-mail, printer, or PDA. MicroStrategy 8 scours the databases for each user, and can initiate a proactive distribution based on schedules, business events or business logic. As business imperatives change, business people can set up new subscriptions to track new metrics, and can turn off existing subscriptions as underlying business issues are resolved.   Monitor Performance in Real-Time   Ensures that every business user receives critical information when they need it and how they want it. + Zoom Diagram MicroStrategy 8 Supports Real-time Monitoring in 4 Unique Areas:   1.
