MCLEAN, Va., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — MicroStrategy(R) Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced the availability of MicroStrategy business intelligence reports, dashboards, and scorecards on the Amazon Kindle DX. MicroStrategy BI users can store, retrieve, and review thousands of business intelligence reports on the Kindle DX in PDF format for enhanced productivity while away from the office.

Easy to View and Share Business Data

MicroStrategy-based grid reports, graph reports, operational reports, scorecards, and dashboards can be viewed on the Kindle DX in PDF format. The Kindle DX’s large screen enables users to review and analyze detailed business data, ranging from a complex financial performance dashboard to a 100-page operational report. Users can also easily share reports and dashboards with others during business meetings.

Convenient to Travel with Large Volumes of Reports

By storing business intelligence reports on the Kindle DX, users no longer need to print out and carry stacks of reports with them when they travel. The large memory capacity of the Kindle DX, with more than 3GB of usable storage, enables users to store tens of thousands of BI reports and dashboards. Users simply archive the reports after viewing them and retrieve the reports when needed.

Timely Reports Available via E-mail

MicroStrategy reports can be sent via e-mail to the Kindle DX, enabling users to monitor business performance while away from the office. With MicroStrategy, Kindle DX users can receive reports on a scheduled basis, and set up e-mail alerts triggered by important business indicators that inform them of time-sensitive issues. Users can also download business reports and documents directly to the Kindle DX at their convenience.

Stephen Wildstrom, writer and editor of BusinessWeek‘s personal technology column, commented on the business value of the Kindle DX in his June 10, 2009 article, “Amazon’s New Kindle DX Means Business.” He states, “The business potential of the DX is formidable… The paperlike display is much easier on the eyes than a backlit laptop screen… You could also load a Kindle with reams of technical documents or the piles of paper needed for a board meeting.”

“MicroStrategy is committed to pervasive BI, where critical business information is readily available wherever and whenever the user needs it,” said Sanju Bansal, MicroStrategy COO. “The availability of MicroStrategy reports on the Kindle DX is yet another information touchpoint in the pervasive BI continuum. In addition to offering BI reports and dashboards on the Kindle DX, MicroStrategy’s capabilities include delivery of business intelligence to other popular mobile devices, including the BlackBerry smartphone and the Apple iPhone.”
