administrator have significant downstream effects.

AUTOMATING ADMINISTRATIONSignificant development has gone into automating administrative tasks… but something is missing….
Hands Off Mobility Administration | 2016
Mobile BI has become a significant factor to
consider in building and maintaining your BI
ecosystem, yet little progress has been made to
alleviate the administrative overhead supporting
mobile devices brings.
Administrative tasks related to mobile
support:
• Build infrastructure and security
constructs
• Build mobile configurations
• Mobile configuration distribution
• Update support and mobile
troubleshooting
Where is mobile administration?

Automating Mobile
Configuration Distribution
Where you ARE
• Administrator must create mobile
configuration links
• Mobile Configuration links must
be provided to users upon request
• What if I want custom icons?
• What if I want to support multiple
projects? Multiple Environments?
• Robust Self-Service Mobile Configuration
• Multi-Environment Support
• Custom Icon Support (without .ipa)
• Security Aware distribution process
Where you’re GOING
Hands Off Mobility Administration | 2016
1. User logs in to MicroStrategy Environment.
2. If the user has mobile permissions in ANY project, they will have access to a project named ‘Mobile Access’.
Process Definition

3. Upon accessing the project, a document is displayed providing options to configure approved devices for any MicroStrategy project to which the user has mobile access
• Devices are only displayed if configurations exist for them, independent by project
• Projects are displayed based on which environment the user is accessing this page from, as well as which projects the current user has access to.
Process Definition

3. Once a link is selected, the user is navigated to a small custom web application.
4. Based on the below parameters provided by MicroStrategy, an email is sent to the user which contains a mobile configuration profile.
Parameters:
• Email: captured from the metadata of the current MicroStrategy user.
• Device: captured based on the user selection.
• Attachment: captured based on the user selection.
Process Definition

3. Assuming the user has configured their Apple Mail with the corresponding account used in MicroStrategy Web, they can access the mobile profile sent as an attachment from the system.
4. Once the profile is installed, a new icon will be added to the user’s device, which automatically reconfigures the MicroStrategy application based on the icon selected.
MULTIPLE ICONS CAN BE ADDED TO CONFIGURE THE APPLICATION FOR MULTIPLE PROJECTS!
