MicroStrategy Wins Patent Lawsuit Against Business Objects

Sep 14, 2006 | Computer & Electronics, Computer Software, Internet, Technology | 0 comments

Court Affirms Ruling that MicroStrategyâ??s â??Much More Sophisticatedâ? Products Do Not Infringe Business Objectsâ?? â??Semantic Layerâ? Patent

McLean, Va., (September 14, 2006) –

MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced that it has won an appellate court decision affirming the dismissal of the sole remaining claim in a lawsuit brought by Business Objects, S.A. (NASDAQ: BOBJ) in October 2001 alleging that MicroStrategy infringed United States Patent No. 5,555,403, entitled “Relational Database Access System Using Semantically Dynamic Objects” (“the ‘403 patent”) owned by Business Objects.

In a unanimous opinion issued September 13, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a 2005 summary judgment ruling of a federal district court in San Francisco that found that MicroStrategy’s products use a “much more sophisticated approach to generating queries” than the invention claimed by Business Objects, and that the consequence of this greater sophistication is that MicroStrategy’s products have “greater and improved functionality” and generate “faster and more efficient queries” than Business Objects’ system. The Federal Circuit affirmed the district court’s holding that MicroStrategy’s products do not infringe the ‘403 patent as a result of these “numerous,” “important,” and “substantial” differences, and affirmed the district court’s dismissal of Business Objects’ lawsuit, which sought injunctive relief and damages in excess of $100 million, with prejudice. The Federal Circuit is located in Washington, D.C., and is the appellate court that hears all patent cases in the United States.

“This is a great victory for MicroStrategy and its customers, employees, and shareholders,” said Jonathan F. Klein, MicroStrategy’s Vice President, Law & General Counsel. “We have invested many millions of dollars to develop and deliver the industry’s most advanced and scalable business intelligence solutions. The Federal Circuit’s ruling confirms the substantial differences between MicroStrategy’s enterprise-class technology and the basic ideas embodied in Business Objects’ products and ‘403 patent filed more than a decade ago,” continued Klein.

Angel.com Announces Upcoming Availability of Outbound IVR – New Solution Allows for Creation of Interactive Outbound Calling Campaigns for Proactive Customer Service

Aug 07, 2006 | Computer & Electronics, Computer Software, Internet, Technology | 0 comments

Florida School District Reports Success with Survey of Parents Using Angel.comâ??s New Offering Angel.com to Showcase Outbound IVR at SpeechTEK 2006; Visit Angel.com at Booth #804

SpeechTEK 2006, New York (August 07, 2006) –

Angel.com, a leading provider of on-demand call center and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions and a division of MicroStrategy® Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), today at SpeechTEK 2006 announced the upcoming general availability of Outbound IVR, a new solution that allows organizations to instantly deliver thousands of interactive phone calls using a web-based toolkit.

With Outbound IVR, expected to be available later this quarter, Angel.com provides businesses and organizations with a new tool to provide or collect important and often time-sensitive information. For example, Outbound IVR can be used to:

* Remind a patient to take his or her medicine
* Survey a customer about an experience in a store
* Alert a partner that a product is in low supply in the warehouse
* Notify a customer about the arrival of a package
* Alert parents in a school district of weather delays and closings.

Recently, the Charlotte County (Fla.) Public Schools (CCPS) successfully leveraged Outbound IVR to execute a campaign to measure the satisfaction of parents and identify areas for improvement. In past years, the school system relied on a take-home survey provided to students and also contemplated an online survey, but felt that doing so would leave out some parents without consistent Internet access.

With Outbound IVR, the school system saved time and money while providing everyone with a convenient opportunity to participate. An impressive 38 percent of those who answered the call completed the survey, with results being reported back to the school system in the form of a detailed Excel spreadsheet.

“Angel.com worked well under the pressure of short timelines,” said CCPS data analyst Amy Robinson. “We were impressed with their methods of communication and delivery of a detailed analysis. Thanks to Angel.com’s Outbound IVR, everyone had an opportunity to participate.”

“Outbound IVR enables companies and organizations to take a proactive approach to data collection and sharing of key, time-sensitive information with a target audience,” said Angel.com president and CEO Michael Zirngibl. “We believe that Outbound IVR campaigns that are structured with the call recipient’s interests in mind can become an extremely effective method of communication and customer service with applications to many industries.”

Outbound IVR is just the latest in innovation from Angel.com. In 2006 alone, Angel.com has nearly doubled in staff and created new field sales and client services teams to attract and manage large accounts. The growth has been driven by new enterprise accounts with large, growing companies such as Family Dollar and Cosi and alliances with technology leaders including Skype and Salesforce.com.

“2006 has been a phenomenal year of growth for Angel.com and we fully expect the momentum will continue,” Zirngibl said. “We are looking forward to the opportunity to showcase Outbound IVR and, in general, an increased focus on enterprise customers and applications.”

About Angel.com
Angel.com is a leading provider of on-demand call center and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions, which enable organizations of all sizes to quickly deploy powerful telephony applications.
