Arria NLG instantly augments your MicroStrategy Dossier (and all the underlying data) into near real-time, insightful narratives — as if written by your company’s best subject matter experts.

Turbocharge your MicroStrategy dashboard by adding Natural Language

Arria NLG Studio for MicroStrategy gives you the ability to create dashboards that are faster to interpret by instantly generating expert narrative to accompany the visuals on your MicroStrategy Dossiers. Plus, it analyzes and narrates all the underlying data to make sure you have the full picture — with no hidden surprises. No interpretation necessary. You’ll receive actionable intelligence for faster decision-making, improved data understanding, and significant operational efficiencies.

BEFORE — VISUALS ONLY: All of your data is displayed in the form of beautiful charts, graphs, and other visuals. But, you still have to interpret what it all means — which takes time and may not be clear to non-analysts and business people.

AFTER — VISUALS + ARRIA NARRATIVE: By adding Arria NLG to your MicroStrategy dashboards, expert text narratives are instantly created to accompany your visuals giving you an overview of what exactly is going on, and what potential actions should be taken — based on your entire dataset, not just the visuals. No interpretation necessary.
