What is MicroStrategy HyperIntelligence?

Let’s say you are a sales consultant for a top technology company. You are constantly traveling and emails are always flooding your inbox. Rather than searching comprehensive dashboards or diving into customer management applications to find information, HyperIntelligence brings the data to you. Simply hovering over a keyword in your web application empowers you to gain the data insights needed to drive key business decisions in just zero clicks.
How does HyperIntelligence work?
Strategy HyperIntelligence is the next step in the future of data analytics. With Strategy HyperIntelligence, organizations can inject Zero-Click Intelligence about customers, products, people, and more directly into websites or web applications. Built by Strategy, a worldwide leader in enterprise analytics and mobility, the Chrome extension surfaces information from 200+ enterprise data sources and injects real-time, contextual insights directly into a user’s browser-based workflows. 
Once you download the extension, HyperIntelligence scans web pages, emails, or web applications for relevant keywords. Keywords appear underlined and users can hover over these keywords to view HyperIntelligence cards containing real-time insights.

  
What are HyperIntelligence cards?
 
HyperIntelligence works to deliver Zero-Click Intelligence–providing key data insights for specific keywords across all web applications. This is done through HyperIntelligence cards. Cards are objects that host data and elegantly display predefined KPIs associated with keywords sourced directly from datasets imported into the Strategy platform. Additionally, cards seamlessly combine information from multiple enterprise assets and applications. For example, card creators can use data from Marketo, Salesforce, and other relational databases to pull information for the HyperIntelligence card.
 
Tip: Cards are created in Strategy Workstation. The keyword attribute selected by the card creator defines the purpose of the card. The attribute will then be the keyword underlined across web applications. View How to Create Cards to learn more.
