MicroStrategy Office lets every Microsoft Office user run, create, edit, and format any MicroStrategy report, document, or dashboard directly from within Microsoft applications such as Excel, PowerPoint and Word. MicroStrategy Office is designed using Microsoft .NET technology and accesses the MicroStrategy business intelligence platform using XML and Web Services.

MicroStrategy Web Services

MicroStrategy Web Services (ASP.NET) and Web Services (J2EE) are two options to support the use of MicroStrategy Office.

• MicroStrategy Web Services (ASP.NET) is an easy-to-deploy service. You can deploy the ASP.NET version using Microsoft IIS on a Windows environment.
• MicroStrategy Web Services (J2EE) provides a servlet-based version of MicroStrategy Web Services that is compatible with a UNIX, Linux, or Windows environment.

To support alternative ways to access the MicroStrategy business intelligence platform using the latest web services technologies such as ASP.NET, JNI, Java and Web protocols, such as Apache Axis, refer to the MicroStrategy SDK and the accompanying MicroStrategy Developer Library.
