MCLEAN, Va., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MicroStrategy(R) Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that its latest release of MicroStrategy 8(TM) software offers enhancements to MicroStrategy Mobile(TM). MicroStrategy Mobile allows mobile workers to access BI reports and dashboards directly on their BlackBerry(R) smartphones.

With MicroStrategy Mobile, business users receive the same reports and dashboards on their BlackBerry smartphone as they receive on their desktop, without the need for reformatting or retrofitting existing reports. Designed for all levels of users, MicroStrategy Mobile displays reports with easy-to-view and easy-to-navigate interactivity, enabling users to review, analyze, and interact with important data at their convenience.

The latest MicroStrategy 8 release on July 18, 2008 offers a broad range of user-friendly features to MicroStrategy Mobile. MicroStrategy Mobile users can access a host of new data views for dashboards and reports on their BlackBerry smartphones. Users can reformat reports and save the formatting changes to share with other mobile users. In addition, reports can be displayed incrementally on the BlackBerry, which gives users greater speed in viewing exceptionally large reports.

"The migration from an email-based system to MicroStrategy Mobile was fast and seamless because we did not need to change any reports," said Len Nicolas, COO and CTO at Nygard International. "The ROI was immediate in terms of gaining productive time since the reports are always available."

"In today's fast-paced business environment, mobile BI is vital," said Sanju Bansal, COO of MicroStrategy. "MicroStrategy Mobile embodies the vision we had for BI many years ago, namely the ability for every person to have answers to their most pressing business questions whenever and wherever they are."
