Kinross Gold Controls Mining Operations Using MicroStrategy Mobile™

Kinross has taken the approach to develop once and deploy everywhere. "When developing dashboards at Kinross, we make sure that we design them to run on PC's as well as on mobile equipment," added Ricordi. "One of the biggest advantages of MicroStrategy is that we can develop them once and they can be available to the users on multiple platforms."

Having a mobile application has benefited Kinross' fleet management supervisors who are constantly on the go. The Kinross iPad application is used across multiple sites in different countries, and automatically changes based on the language needed.  Additionally, with transaction services, the supervisors are able to input data directly from the field, which speeds up decision-making.  To learn more about MicroStrategy Mobile's use at Kinross, visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTV76dLLPbc. 

"Since implementing MicroStrategy, we have also been making significant business process changes. There is no debate that the solutions that we implemented both from a process and technology perspective are delivering significant value," said Cefai.

"The ability to deliver timely insights to decision makers in the field in whatever language they need it is imperative to a global organization like Kinross," said Paul Zolfaghari, President, MicroStrategy Incorporated.  "MicroStrategy Mobile, widely regarded by leading industry analysts as the top mobile BI platform, differentiates itself from other mobile BI tools with its support for multi-language content and numerous other analysis capabilities.
