Today as part of Friday Fun, thought of sharing this ON DEMAND video shared by MicroStrategy detailing out the administration capabilities provided using Workstation
Workstation – What is it ?
Workstation is next-gen tool developed by MicroStrategy to replace all we do in prior versions (9.x or 10.x or 11.x ) into one Unified platform called as Workstation. (i.e.) replace developer, object manager, command manager, integrity manager, user manager, system managers, security, etc ., & have everything in one umbrella. It is an GREAT Idea/Vision/Mission & they are in phased approach to provide the features into the product. I would say, it has improved a lot than it was 2-3 years back.
Definition by MicroStrategy is listed below
- It is an powerful tool that lets you administer and control both projects and environments, providing tools for data discovery and visualization.
- Workstation makes it easy to build compelling visualizations and interactive dossiers in a matter of minutes and then easily share those dossiers with others.
Example : How to create an Bar Chart easily ?
Here you go with the WebCast that provides detailed explanation of current capabilities that MicroStrategy Workstation provides now in 2020.
What can you expect from this WebCast ? My views are below:

- Advantages of Workstations
- User Management (Authentication: Standard, AD/LDAP – Configuration, Users/Groups, Security roles)

Futuristic Expectation – my expectation down the line this tool is going to become are shared
When down the line in next 5 – 8 years from now (i.e.) 2025 – 2028 ~ I expect 50 to 60% of customers might/would have moved to CLOUD (AWS, Google, Azure or etc.,) –
