McLean, VA. (January 27, 2009) –
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that it has been awarded the 2009 Editors’ Choice Award by TechWeb’s Intelligent Enterprise. MicroStrategy joins technology companies, including Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP in the elite “Dozen” companies that are expected to drive the intelligent enterprise in 2009. In selecting the 2009 Editors’ Choice winners, Intelligent Enterprise cited the companies’ exceptional vision, innovation, and leadership.
MicroStrategy’s Dynamic Enterprise Dashboards provide easy-to-use access to enterprise data to help companies manage business performance and improve decision-making. With advanced data visualization capabilities, MicroStrategy’s dashboards enable users to view a tremendous amount of information in a compelling manner, all within the context of MicroStrategy’s integrated BI platform. According to Intelligent Enterprise, MicroStrategy has “resisted the temptation to be a ‘me-too’ on analytics and performance management. Instead this independent has focused on delivering world-class BI with state-of-the-art dynamic dashboards. The MicroStrategy 9 release set for Q1 2009 adds in-memory analysis to speed queries and reduce data-prep dependency on IT.”
MicroStrategy recently announced its anticipated release of MicroStrategy 9 software, which is expected to be generally available in the first quarter of 2009. The company’s most significant release in nearly a decade, MicroStrategy 9 is designed to extend enterprise BI with enhancements for greater scalability, performance, and efficiency; enable rapid development and deployment of departmental BI applications; and provide a seamless consolidation path from departmental BI to enterprise BI.
“Smart enterprises will have to make the most of technology to outmaneuver the competition and navigate the shoals of fast-changing and challenging economic conditions,” said Doug Henschen, editor-in-chief, Intelligent Enterprise. “We present our 10th Annual Intelligent Enterprise Editors’ Choice Awards to guide our readers toward innovative and influential vendors, whether large or small, that have been leading the way toward easier and more comprehensive use of information, deeper and timelier insight, and more flexible and efficient applications and business processes.”
