Nahiyan Khan

Technical Support Intern • Strategy


Our customer is a leading network management solution provider. Their network traffic management product features MicroStrategy Dashboards for reporting. However, these Dashboards did not perform well and lacked additional functionality desired by the end users. Leveraging MicroStrategy’s Visualization Framework and Adobe Flex Technology, we created customized visualizations and dashboards that helped our customer to reduce the Dashboard execution time by 80%. The appealing visualizations and high performing Dashboards have enabled our customer to improve their overall client satisfaction and greatly reduce client support costs.
