McLean, Va., (January 18, 2006) –
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced that The OLAP Survey 5, a leading independent survey of the business intelligence (BI) software market, has found that MicroStrategy customers lead in Web deployment. For the fifth consecutive year, MicroStrategy customers are more successful in deploying business intelligence via the Web than are customers using any other leading business intelligence product.
Conducted by independent analyst Nigel Pendse and Survey.com (http://www.survey.com/olap), The OLAP Survey 5 compiled the BI experiences of 2,100 organizations around the world. The Survey found that MicroStrategy had the highest Web Deployment Rate of 84%, meaning 84% of MicroStrategy’s customers reported that they have deployed business intelligence via the Web to at least 50% of their users.

In its findings, the Survey stated that web-deployed BI applications deliver greater business value and benefits than those deployed via client/server technology.
“For the fifth straight year, MicroStrategy sites had the highest rates for Web deployment,” said Nigel Pendse, author of The OLAP Survey 5. “Unique among major BI products, the complete MicroStrategy product line was designed from the ground up for large scale Web deployments, rather than being converted from older desktop or client/server architectures. This provides an advantage for its customers, who report on far more data, to more users, and who are much more likely to be Web connected than those using any other product.”
“The OLAP Survey 5 has again confirmed that MicroStrategy customers have greater success in deploying BI via the Web,” said Sanju Bansal, MicroStrategy’s COO. “MicroStrategy’s advanced technology provides an intuitive zero-footprint ‘windows on the web’ user interface, which makes it easier for customers to realize the full value of their BI investment.”
