One of the first Apple Watch integrations directly addressing
the needs of the enterprise, MicroStrategy Usher for Apple Watch
leverages the unique features of the Apple Watch, including
Glances, Notifications, and Force Touch, seamlessly enabling the
new device to be used for a broad range of business security
applications. The app is designed to detect a vast range of
business systems, hardware and physical entryways as users

"Apple Watch is the ideal platform to replace the password,
plastic card, and metal key," said Michael

Apple Watch, iPhone, and Touch ID with enterprise applications,
resources, and business processes, Usher for Apple Watch brings a
new level of convenience, capability, safety, and security to the
marketplace."

platform, which launched in early 2015. MicroStrategy Usher is an
enterprise-grade security solution that provides secure
authentication for business processes and applications across the
enterprise. The platform replaces traditional forms of identity
such as IDs, passwords, and tokens with biometric mobile identity
and multi-factor authentication, all from a single mobile app.
Usher provides streamlined administrative capabilities that let
organizations easily set up and enforce biometric security with
geo-fencing, time-fencing, and Touch ID access on mobile
devices.
