In this issue, MicroStrategy wins Operational BI award, we announce two of our newest customers, and Gartner highlights the strengths of MicroStrategy.
MicroStrategy celebrated its 20 year anniversary this month with impressive quarterly financial results and a raft of new deals with industry leading companies, including:
Burlington Coat Factory; Chevron Products Company; Discovery Communications; Electronic Arts; Foresters; Freddie Mac; Grange Insurance; GUESS?; JC Penney; Limited Brands; NTT America; McAfee; Ross Stores; Universal Music Group; Urban Outfitters; Tesco Group and Toshiba Europe. We believe this is clear testimony of our continued long-term commitment to delivering premium BI technology and services to our customers.
 TOP STORIES
Tesco Group invests in MicroStrategy
Platform
Tesco Group, with over 465,000 employees
and 4,226 stores operating in 14 markets across Europe, Asia, and
North America, has invested in the MicroStrategy Business Intelligence
Platform(TM) to deliver enterprise-wide BI across their operations.
Tesco plans to use MicroStrategy to deliver head office analytics
and self-service BI, including in-store dashboards across its enterprise.
Following a rigorous selection process, Tesco chose MicroStrategy
for its lower total cost of ownership and reduced carbon foot-print
compared to previous solutions, as MicroStrategy demonstrated that
it was able to run on fewer servers and make more efficient use
of Tesco’s existing data warehouse platform.

and enable employees in the branch offices to autonomously generate
additional reports and perform ad hoc analyses down to individual
item level. Dr Jorg Floel, Head of Supply Chain Management commented:
“Following an extensive selection
process, we chose MicroStrategy because it allows us to build on
a scalable BI platform from the beginning, and will support the
work in our multiple international branches”

MicroStrategy Operational BI Receives
BeyeNETWORK 2009 Vision Award
MicroStrategy has received the BeyeNETWORK
2009 Vision Award for Business Impact in the category of Operational
BI.
MicroStrategy’s BI implementation in Nygard International, a fashion
company, won the BeyeNETWORK 2009 Vision Award. MicroStrategy enabled
mobile workers to receive the same reports on their mobile devices
as they do on their desktops, resulting in $33,000 worth of savings
on a $12,000 investment. The judges commented:
‘This is the best example of operational BI mainly for its remote
Blackberry application. It is an innovative way to track sales performance
