MicroStrategy 10 Secure Enterprise Generally Available Worldwide

In June 2015, MicroStrategy announced the general availability of MicroStrategy 10 Secure Enterprise. For the first time, MicroStrategy’s analytics platform combines traditional business intelligence functionality with data discovery, mobile analytics and powerful enterprise security. MicroStrategy 10 Secure Enterprise builds on proven enterprise capabilities to make sophisticated, high-performance analytics more accessible, easier to use, and faster. To learn more about MicroStrategy 10 Secure Enterprise, watch this video or visit MicroStrategy online.

“MicroStrategy 10 Secure Enterprise is a groundbreaking solution that combines analytics, mobility, and security in a single integrated platform,” said Michael Saylor, CEO, MicroStrategy Incorporated. “It delivers outstanding enterprise functionality through an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for every user that is powerful enough for the most demanding organizations. We are confident that IT and business leaders will be impressed with MicroStrategy 10^™ and its ability to create stunning new applications that deliver tremendous value to the enterprise.”

MicroStrategy 10 Secure Enterprise contains a host of new features and enhanced functionality:

Version 10 underscores MicroStrategy’s commitment to serving the enterprise analytics needs of global organizations. Here are what some of our customers and partners have to say about MicroStrategy 10:

“The new HTML5 interface in version 10 is a game changer,” said Kevin Curley, Executive Director of Business Intelligence at Catalina Marketing. “The new interface and functionality have significantly improved the self-service user experience, while at the same time, have cut the learning curve for new users. Furthermore, having the ability to easily integrate with advanced analytics and open source libraries like D3 has significantly increased our ability to visualize data exactly the way we want.”

“We currently rely on the MicroStrategy Analytics Platform^™ to track programming investments, analyze ad and affiliate sales trends, and review sales team performance,” said Madhur Sawhney, Sr. Director Data & Analytics Technology at Discovery Communications. “After testing MicroStrategy 10 as an early adopter, our team really likes the new functionality — in particular, the ability to easily wrangle and parse data as well as save/import wrangling scripts functionality. The enhanced data blending features and on-the-fly data manipulations made possible with version 10 and Visual Insight provide incredible speed-of-interactivity and ease of use.”

“MicroStrategy 10 is a workhorse built to support a wide variety of end users,” said Frank Zhou, Software Development Manager at PayPal. “In testing, we successfully loaded a cube with over two billion rows (~400GB) while supporting sub-second query execution and greater user scalability, thanks to the new high performance in-memory architecture.”

“We have had the opportunity over the last several months to test the beta version of MicroStrategy 10, and I’m here to tell you that they got it right with MicroStrategy 10,” said Jim Butz, Principal at Southport Services Group. “MicroStrategy 10 is packed with exceptional functionality and capabilities, including a redesigned data discovery interface for easier and better data exploration, native HDFS connectivity for faster access to Hadoop, and new in-memory architecture for faster performance. I’m excited about the upcoming release and seeing how the broader market receives the latest product offering from MicroStrategy.”

“After implementing MicroStrategy 10 as an early adopter, we are delighted with the cleaner streamlined interface, the new analytical capabilities, and the ability users now have to personalize their analytics experience,” said Peter Zaballos, Vice President of Marketing & Product, SPS Commerce. “In the omni-channel retail era our customers are facing, analytics is critical to understanding the ever-changing demands of the consumer. The improved accessibility and rich data visualization capabilities of MicroStrategy 10 will enable our retail and CPG customers to better track consumer buying trends and inventory availability to grow their business.”

MicroStrategy Unveils MicroStrategy 10 at Worldwide Symposium Series

In May 2015, MicroStrategy unveiled its worldwide 2015 Symposium Series focused on presenting MicroStrategy 10 to the marketplace. MicroStrategy is presenting version 10’s powerful capabilities to symposium attendees in cities around the world, and providing a complimentary copy of the new data discovery and visualization product, MicroStrategy Desktop 10.0, valued at $600, to every attendee. The events, which are expected to draw thousands of attendees across North America, EMEA, and APAC, will provide analytics users with a detailed introduction to MicroStrategy 10.

Symposium attendees have the opportunity to attend technical sessions that drill down into all of the new capabilities of MicroStrategy 10, and learn how they can be applied to existing business intelligence applications. The events also feature talks from local MicroStrategy customers who are giving real-world examples of how they have used MicroStrategy’s enterprise analytics solution to increase revenues and cut costs at their organizations.

MicroStrategy Debuts the Usher Software Development Kit

In April 2015, MicroStrategy debuted the Usher Software Development Kit (SDK), enabling developers to build Usher™ security capabilities – including any of Usher’s logical or physical access functionalities – into their existing mobile applications, web applications, and enterprise software packages. With the Usher SDK, homegrown applications can implement sophisticated functionalities like step-up authentication to restrict sensitive information from unauthorized access or approval workflows that require biometric validation to help ensure validity of the approver. The ability to perform authentication and identity verification tasks unlocks the door to making existing applications vastly more functional to user bases. In this way, Usher secures enterprise assets and information, whether through the standard Usher interfaces or within any application of the enterprise. The Usher SDK is available from the Usher Developer Portal at http://developer.usher.com.

Already available in the cloud, Usher can be installed on-premise to meet business requirements when data must live behind the corporate firewall. On-premise installation deploys the complete Usher solution to the enterprise, including the Usher Security Server, the Usher Network Manager administration app, and Usher Analytics. End users of an on-premise Usher deployment acquire applications from the public app stores. To get started with Usher and set up Usher identities for your organization, visit: http://www.microstrategy.com/us/security.

Leading organizations that have chosen Usher include SenHeng Electric subsidiary Blackbox BI Consultancy, Georgetown University, and global incubator 1776.

“Our business at SenHeng is to create a unique customer experience with our products and services and that is our key differentiator in the market,” said KH Lim, Founder of SenHeng Electric Sdn Bhd. “Based on our successful deployment of MicroStrategy’s analytics and mobile technologies as cloud-based analytics solutions, it made sense for us to select MicroStrategy Usher as an enterprise security offering for today’s security-critical environment. MicroStrategy Usher will be used to access business processes and applications across the enterprise, replacing keycards and passwords with mobile identity badges securely delivered on smartphones. An Usher badge will be used to identify both SenHeng Electric’s customers as well as SenHeng mobile service’s customers. Having a single MicroStrategy platform for analytics, mobile and identity management will help us create a new, valuable customer experience.”

“We wanted a more secure and efficient method for our students and administrators to log into university websites and web apps than the traditional user name and password,” said Marty Johnson, Senior Director of Identity, Collaboration, Mobile, and GOCard at Georgetown University. “We have deployed Usher, which integrates with our Shibboleth single sign-on system and allows our university population to securely sign in to any Georgetown website by simply scanning a QR code with their mobile phone, eliminating the need for passwords. We are also working closely with MicroStrategy and the Usher product team to design a solution to address our costly password reset problem. Once that work is completed, we expect to see a significantly reduced number of help desk requests for locked user accounts and, as a result, to reap substantial cost savings.”

“At 1776, we are in the business of identifying transformational, disruptive startups that can change the world,” said Stephanie Vidikan, Director of Operations at 1776. “MicroStrategy’s Usher is one of those products. Startups at 1776’s Washington, D.C. location can use Usher ‘keys’ on their mobile phones to unlock doors, elevators, and gateways. We are excited to see how Usher’s features will reinvent how companies manage access to their physical spaces.”

MicroStrategy Releases Usher for Apple Watch, Providing Enterprise Security Capabilities

In April 2015, MicroStrategy announced the availability of Usher^™ for Apple Watch. Enterprises deploying Usher are able to use Apple Watch as a secure digital key, enabling wearers to log into enterprise business systems, unlock devices, validate personal identity, and open physical entryways with a simple gesture or tap.

One of the first Apple Watch integrations directly addressing the needs of the enterprise, Usher for Apple Watch leverages the unique features of the Apple Watch, including Glances, Notifications, and Force Touch, seamlessly enabling the new device to be used for a broad range of business security applications. The app is designed to detect a vast range of business systems, hardware and physical entryways as users approach. Users receive push notifications on their Apple Watch prompting them to unlock their workstation, log into a system, or open a doorway with a simple tap or gesture on the device.

Usher for Apple Watch is part of the Usher platform, which launched in early 2015. Usher is an enterprise-grade security solution that provides secure authentication for business processes and applications across the enterprise. The platform replaces traditional forms of identity such as IDs, passwords, and tokens with biometric mobile identity and multi-factor authentication, all from a single mobile app. Usher provides streamlined administrative capabilities that let organizations easily set up and enforce biometric security with geo-fencing, time-fencing, and Touch ID access on mobile devices.

NHS Scotland’s Golden Jubilee National Hospital Uses MicroStrategy to Improve Operations and Enhance Patient Care

In June 2015, MicroStrategy announced that NHS Scotland’s Golden Jubilee National Hospital deployed the MicroStrategy Analytics Platform and MicroStrategy Mobile™ to monitor, report, and analyze over 200 quality indicators consisting of patient care, staffing, and performance metrics. Golden Jubilee National Hospital is a Scottish Health Board, working with the public, private and third sector to reduce health inequalities and improve health.

“Improving quality care to realize superior patient outcomes is a journey with many twists and turns, so the enterprise analytics platform we chose is one that fits our complex needs and will evolve with us,” said Jill Young, CEO, NHS Scotland’s Golden Jubilee National Hospital. “We have realized numerous benefits from using MicroStrategy in a short order of time. The platform’s comprehensive capabilities allow us to measure, in detail, the success of our Quality Framework and inform members of our staff via mobile apps on how they can be more responsive to our patients. Furthermore, we believe our Quality Framework, with MicroStrategy as its enterprise analytics standard, can be a model for adoption at other healthcare facilities around the world.”

In 2013, NHS Scotland’s Golden Jubilee National Hospital replaced its incumbent dashboard and reporting tool with MicroStrategy’s enterprise analytics solution, which today enables a staff of several hundred — including directors, clinicians, doctors, consultants, nurses, and administrative staff — to easily analyze patient care, staffing, and performance targets on their iPad devices, revealing underlying and previously unknown patterns and interactions between patients and the hospital. With MicroStrategy, Board committees are able to review employee performance and make decisions that improve management and effectiveness. Hospital administrators can drill into the top 30-40 quality indicators in great detail and easily make informed decisions to enhance patient care. In addition, nurses and other administrative staff are using survey data that patients complete upon the end of their stay to make adjustments that improve the overall patient experience.

MicroStrategy Mobile empowers staff members to quickly view, collect, and update information anywhere, from the boardroom to the ward. Specifically, hospital staff are able to:

NHS Scotland’s Golden Jubilee National Hospital considers MicroStrategy a key component of its overall vision to lead quality, research and innovation for NHS Scotland through a new Quality Framework. Scotland has set the benchmark for adopting innovative approaches to improving health care at a large scale through its Scottish Patient Safety Programme. The Golden Jubilee reports significant improvements for efficiency, safety, and person-centered service delivery, and has been a key contributor in helping Scotland to reduce patient mortality by 12% and Clostridium difficile (c-diff) infections by 77% and to nearly completely eliminate MRSA. A number of specialties at the hospital have reduced patient length of stay, and 98% of its patients indicate they are treated with care, respect, and dignity.

Admiral Group Selects MicroStrategy Analytics Platform for New Policy Administration System, Deploys Dashboards to Thousands

In April 2015, MicroStrategy announced that leading UK car insurance provider Admiral Group, with headquarters in Cardiff, Wales, selected the MicroStrategy Analytics Platform for its new policy administration system. Admiral Group, which insures more than 3.9 million vehicles and has 7,000 staff worldwide, will use MicroStrategy to deliver a new dashboard reporting analytics solution as part of its policy administration system being implemented at present.

MicroStrategy was selected for its data lineage integration with the other software solutions Admiral Group uses, which are critical to its sales cycle. In addition, user-friendly capabilities, superior performance and scalability, system availability, as well as MicroStrategy’s ability to support trusted governed data discovery meant it stood out from the competition. MicroStrategy’s powerful visualization and mobile features will enable staff across Admiral Group to easily access important brand and product data across multiple lines of business and deliver customized products and services more efficiently to customers.

Gunnar Peters, Head of Data and Management Information at Admiral Group, said: “Implementing the new policy administration is all about helping our staff be as informed and as efficient as possible, and delivering the best possible customer experience. We’ve worked with MicroStrategy since 2009 to power our operational reporting, and after evaluating analytics providers in the marketplace, MicroStrategy is still the most comprehensive enterprise analytics platform that fits our evolving needs.”

The new MicroStrategy Analytics Platform licenses purchased as part of the implementation will extend the reach of the platform to many more users.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

MicroStrategy is providing a supplemental financial measure for income from continuing operations that excludes the impact of share-based compensation arrangements and restructuring activities. This financial measure is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and, as a result, this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally to help understand, manage, and evaluate business performance and to help make operating decisions. MicroStrategy believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis because it excludes a significant non-cash share-based compensation expense that MicroStrategy believes is not reflective of its general business performance and significant restructuring charges that we believe are not reflective of ongoing operating results. In addition, accounting for share-based compensation arrangements requires significant management judgment and the resulting expense could vary significantly in comparison to other companies. Therefore, MicroStrategy believes the use of this non-GAAP financial measure can also facilitate comparison of MicroStrategy’s operating results to those of its competitors.
