MicroStrategy Collaborates with Reseller Partners to Develop Business Intelligence Applications for JD Edwards Customers

McLean, Va., 2009 - MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that it has collaborated with multiple Value-Added Reseller (VAR) partners to develop pre-built business intelligence applications for the JD Edwards user community. JD Edwards is a suite of enterprise resource planning software.

MicroStrategy's BI platform provides companies with easy access to JD Edwards data for enhanced reporting and analytical capabilities. MicroStrategy has worked with multiple VAR partners to develop packaged reporting and analysis applications for JD Edwards customers. These applications, which include pre-defined dashboards, reports, and key performance indicators, enable JD Edwards customers to seamlessly uncover, access, and analyze important business information.

"We have worked closely with MicroStrategy to develop business intelligence applications for our JD Edwards customer base," said John Hughes, Managing Partner and ManageForce. "Serving JD Edwards customers for many years, we identified an opportunity to provide better reporting and analytics using the MicroStrategy platform. MicroStrategy gives us one platform to solve the many reporting requirements we see in the JD Edwards installed base."

The BI applications delivered through MicroStrategy's VAR partners allow JD Edwards customers to extend the value of their JD Edwards investment. While JD Edwards is optimized for high speed transaction processing, customers also require a business view of their performance. Below are several MicroStrategy reseller partners offering reporting and BI applications for the JD Edwards World and EnterpriseOne user community:
