Great Success at the MicroStrategy Summer Symposium London

MicroStrategy Summer Symposium 2006 LondonLast week as planned, MicroStrategy UK held its first London Symposium at the Radisson SAS Portman Hotel. Over 200 delegates attended the Symposium, and, during the two days, met other clients and prospects, held executive discussions and heard presentations from:

» four keynote speakers,
» eight customer speakers, including Virgin,
   Finansbank, Deutsche Bank, and Amlin, and;
» over 20 partners, including Teradata, Kognitio,
   Visual Crossing, and Client Solutions.

The event was a great success: new products, pricing, ideas, and initiatives were discussed throughout the event, particularly during the Executive Forum, where senior representatives of companies using MicroStrategy collaborated on the past and upcoming challenges in the world of BI. Many subjects were discussed during this session, including:

» Self Service Reporting
» Dashboarding/Scorecarding
» Multiple Data Sources
