McLean, Va., (October 14, 2008) –

MicroStrategy Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, and Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC), the world’s largest company solely focused on data warehousing and enterprise analytics, today announced that they will collaborate to provide dashboards for selected industries to make decision-making easier and faster.

The industry-specific dashboards will showcase the combined power of Teradata analytics and MicroStrategy’s Dynamic Enterprise Dashboards(TM). MicroStrategy’s dashboards display large volumes of data in an intuitive and highly visual manner, allowing users to quickly identify trends and issues.

Teradata’s retail business intelligence solution includes the Teradata active enterprise data warehouse, Teradata RetailDecisions, Teradata’s Retail Logical Data Model, and MicroStrategy’s dashboards. The new retail dashboards provide retailers with a data-driven view of sales performance, allowing them to access, predict, analyze, interpret, and act on data by store, customer, and sales channel. With report templates based on industry best practices, retailers can more readily address campaign planning around special holidays and seasons, enabling users to perform market basket and affinity analyses, and evaluate campaign effectiveness.

“The combination of MicroStrategy and Teradata provides a powerful business intelligence solution at Roundy’s,” said Greg Lisiak, Director of Business Solutions at Roundy’s Supermarkets, Inc. “Our users rely on our information dashboards to quickly access and interpret critical business activity, and to improve business and operational performance.”
