With MicroStrategy Transactor, MicroStrategy business intelligence and Web reporting applications built on the MicroStrategy 7(TM) platform have a closed-loop, interactive dimension.MicroStrategy Transactor allows users to take action on their MicroStrategy business intelligence information via Web, wireless and voice. This action is much more than drilling or formatting. It could be ordering merchandize from an inventory report, authorizing payment from a electronic bill report, running forecasting scenarios from a budget report or writing back information to a database. ``Now users can make decisions and take action on their business intelligence information promptly and directly from a Web report,'' said Robert Trenkamp, director of product management at MicroStrategy Incorporated. ``The MicroStrategy 7 platform helps companies save time and effort by providing the right information, at the right time, to the right people. It allows them to make decisions, take action and close-the-loop on information, returning it to back-end operational systems.'' In order to execute on closed-loop, interactive business intelligence and Web reporting solutions, MicroStrategy Transactor directs the workflow required to complete those transactions between communications devices and back-end information systems. MicroStrategy Transactor natively handles interactions with any communication device such as the Web, VoiceXML and wireless devices such as PDA, pagers and mobile phones. Also, MicroStrategy Transactor integrates with other information systems such as databases, ERP systems, the Web and legacy systems through its database, internet and Java Messaging Service (JMS) drivers.
