MicroStrategy Incorporated (MSTR) is a business intelligence technology company. By providing integrated reporting, analysis, and monitoring software, the company helps organizations make better business decisions. Founded in 1989 and based in McLean, Virginia, the company is known for its advanced technical capabilities, sophisticated analytics, and superior data and user scalability.

The company announced last week its latest release of advanced visualization widgets for its Dynamic Enterprise Dashboards™. MicroStrategy’s Dynamic Enterprise Dashboards enable large volumes of data to be displayed and understood in ways that cannot be accomplished with standard graph and table formats. The company offers a library of advanced visualization widgets that present data in a highly visual and interactive manner to augment data comprehension and enhance decision making.

MicroStrategy leveraged Adobe Flash to incorporate visualization, interactivity, and animation into its widgets. Customers can use Adobe Flex 2 and Flex 3 to create their own MicroStrategy-compatible visualization widgets to include in dashboards and reports. Some of the newest advanced widgets include: The Bubble Grid widget, which enables users to plot metric values as bubbles of different colors and sizes within a grid; The Funnel widget, a variation of stacked percent bar chart in a funnel shape, which is well-suited for a variety of business purposes; and The Waterfall widget, which displays a series of increments and decrements that users can modify to perform a scenario analysis on the data and identify causes for fluctuations in the business.
