Four MicroStrategy Customers Recognized as Laureates by the Computerworld Honors Program

Jun 15, 2006 | Computer & Electronics, Computer Software, Internet, Technology | 0 comments

Consip, NBC Universal, Ohio Department of Education, and Receita Federal Selected for Noteworthy Use of Business Intelligence Technology

McLean, VA (June 15, 2006) –

MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced that four of its customers were recognized as Laureates by the Computerworld Honors Program. For almost two decades, Computerworld Honors has acknowledged those individuals and organizations that have used information technology to benefit society. This year’s honorees were commemorated at an event held last week at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C.

“Each year, the Computerworld Honors Program seeks to recognize organizations, from a variety of sectors, for their ongoing efforts to utilize technology in order to benefit society,” said Bob Carrigan, Chairman of the Computerworld Honors Program Chairmen’s Committee and President, IDG Communications. “We are proud to provide a platform to publicly acknowledge these contributions.”

“We are delighted that these four outstanding companies have been recognized for their visionary business intelligence applications,” said MicroStrategy COO Sanju Bansal. “We applaud them for their innovative use of technology to promote positive social, economic, and educational change.”

Following is a brief description of the four Laureates and their BI applications:

Consip – Italian Treasury Department
The Italian Treasury Department monitors and controls government expenses with PointRGS, a highly customized Web-based dashboard anchored by MicroStrategy technology that was developed by Consip on behalf of the Ragioneria Generale dello Stato, Italy’s State General Accounting Department. The Ragioneria relies on PointRGS to monitor general economic trends across Italy’s economy as well as uncover anomalies or poorly performing trends, so it can make decisions that impact the national political economy and meet the thresholds imposed by the European Union. With the technology, Treasury department analysts are able to more accurately forecast the domestic debt, calculate the Gross Domestic Product, and reconcile the national budget and public expenditures.

NBC Universal
Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in California, owned by NBC Universal, replaced a challenging spreadsheet-based system with a new solution from MicroStrategy and Extensity, providing enhanced visibility into the theme park’s central budgeting, financial reporting, and consolidation mechanism. Using MicroStrategy, line managers can quickly make changes in attendance or park hour assumptions, and provide senior management with new performance targets in minutes as opposed to days or weeks. The solution has empowered Universal Studios employees to determine the right staffing levels for the park that can, in turn, improve customer service experiences. The solution also changed the finance, budgeting, reporting, and financial closing processes, and cut budget processing time by over 50 percent.

Ohio Department of Education
A MicroStrategy-based application called the Interactive Local Report Card (iLRC) lets anyone with an interest in the Ohio state’s education program get the latest performance and statistical data pertaining to any school district or individual school in Ohio. Accessed on the Ohio Department of Education’s Web site at http://ilrc.ode.state.oh.us, the application relies on MicroStrategy BI and pulls up reports on attendance, enrollment, or graduation rates for the state’s 613 districts, or any one of its more than 4,100 elementary, middle, and high school buildings. The insight from the reports allows state officials and school administrators to more effectively address educational issues in Ohio.

Receita Federal, Brazilian Internal Revenue Service
MicroStrategy is the BI platform that consolidates various data sources into one central data warehouse for the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service. Using MicroStrategy, the Brazilian IRS staff can analyze trends and operations across Customs; Auditing and Correctness; the Tax Levy system; Inspection; and Administration. Management, superintendents, agents, and inspectors receive more than 300 reports customized according to their specific area, providing insight into trends and anomalies across the data. With MicroStrategy, the Brazilian IRS can identify fraud or irregularities, and take rapid steps to correct them. The Web-based solution enables users to access their reports via a standard Web-browser from anywhere across Brazil.
