How HyperIntelligence Streamlines Decision-Making Process (2024)

In the pursuit of achieving data-driven expertise, several barriers often hinder individuals and organizations from making informed decisions.

Time

One of the primary obstacles is time. Often, the necessary information is not readily accessible, forcing individuals to rely on their instincts or make decisions without the proper data at hand. Not having quick access to information can lead to bad decisions.

Decision-makers may not have enough time to look at the data carefully. They might also miss out on considering different sources before making a choice.

Expertise

Another significant barrier is the varying levels of expertise among users. Not every individual is proficient in interpreting complex data visualizations or using business intelligence tools effectively.

This skill gap can limit the ability to derive meaningful insights from data, leading to decisions that may not be fully informed. Users may struggle to use self-service analytics if they lack the necessary skills. This can make it hard for the organization to use data for important decisions.

Trust

Trust in the data itself presents yet another challenge. In many organizations, data is often fragmented across different systems and departments, leading to inconsistencies and conflicting insights.

When decision-makers encounter varying data points from different sources, it can erode their confidence in the accuracy of the information. They may hesitate to use data for decision-making if they do not trust it. This is because they fear that the information may be unreliable or incomplete.

HyperIntelligence, MicroStrategy’s innovative solution, addresses these barriers by embedding insights directly into the workflows and applications that users already engage with daily.

By providing real-time, contextually relevant data through Hypercards, users can overcome time constraints, bridge expertise gaps, and build trust in the data. This ensures that critical information is always at hand, empowering individuals to make informed decisions with confidence and efficiency.

HyperIntelligence is transforming the way we access and interact with data by embedding real-time insights directly into the tools and platforms we use every day.

"Hypercards are essentially mini dashboards that bring insights into the websites and applications," explained LeeAnn Rowley, Solutions Engineer at MicroStrategy.

There are four distinct ways to harness this power. Let’s explore the four "flavors" of HyperIntelligence.

Web

HyperIntelligence integrates seamlessly with any web-based application, be it Workday, Salesforce, ServiceNow, or even Outlook in your browser. HyperIntelligence cards can pop up to provide additional insights precisely when and where you need them.

Outlook

Emails often require quick decision-making, and HyperIntelligence makes this easier by embedding cards directly into your Outlook application. These insights follow you as you respond to emails, making data-driven decisions a natural part of your workflow.

Mobile

For those constantly on the move, HyperIntelligence offers a mobile app that brings the power of these cards to your smartphone or tablet. Whether you're in the field or away from your desk, you can access crucial information without missing a beat.

Embedded

Finally, you can embed HyperIntelligence cards into your own websites, allowing users to access contextual insights effortlessly. This makes it easier for them to make informed decisions right within your platform.

These four flavors of HyperIntelligence ensure that no matter where you work, the data you need is always at your fingertips.

HyperIntelligence is revolutionizing how industries access and utilize data, making decision-making faster, more informed, and seamlessly integrated into daily workflows.
