AUTOMOTIVE

MicroStrategy 8 provides streamlined functionality and more than 2,000 enhancements that enable all levels of business users to access more of their enterprise data. With a scalable architecture and a single metadata, users can easily navigate between reporting, analysis and monitoring without using multiple BI tools or navigating dissimilar interfaces. MicroStrategy 8 also offers a redesigned, easy-to-use Web interface and expands the universe of data sources that business users can access for their reporting and analysis activity. MicroStrategy 8 has already received positive reviews from customers, global partners and industry analysts. Nigel Pendse, author of The OLAP Survey 4 (http://www.survey.com/olap) and The OLAP Report (http://www.olapreport.com/), stated, "The OLAP Surveys have consistently found that MicroStrategy sites have the most users, and the highest level of Web- deployment. MicroStrategy 8 provides further improvements in the Web user interface and better source data connectivity while still providing the only fully integrated product set ideally suited for large scale, complex data analysis, highly formatted reporting, proactive exception reporting and advanced queries." On February 10, the 90-minute Webcast will highlight the features and business benefits of MicroStrategy 8. MicroStrategy executives will provide an overview of the technology and discuss its innovative new capabilities.
