McLean, Va., (November 21, 2006) –
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced that GT Nexus has selected MicroStrategy to power the customer-facing analytics and reporting capabilities on its Global Logistics portal. The GT Nexus portal is an on-demand technology platform that is used by importers, exporters, transportation carriers, suppliers, banks and other partners to manage goods that are moving around the world.
The GT Nexus system captures and stores hard-to-get data associated with global supply chains, and then fuels a range of Web applications that can be used by constituents to lower supply chain costs and improve control. MicroStrategy will help GT Nexus to deliver a wide range of analytics and reporting capabilities to its customers, which include Home Depot, Kmart, Xerox, Weyerhaeuser, and American Eagle Outfitters.
By embedding MicroStrategy’s business intelligence technology into its portal, GT Nexus enables customers to analyze their global supply chains and the performance of their partners. With this data, GT Nexus customers can identify weak spots in their supply chain and make analytically-based decisions that can reduce costs, improve operational efficiencies, and enhance business performance.
“Our customer base is very diverse and a one-size-fits-all approach to reporting and analytics does not work for us,” said Andy Stinnes, VP of Products and Corporate Strategy for GT Nexus. “By embedding MicroStrategy, we give our customers the ability to build their own unique reports and analytics. We conducted a thorough assessment of BI products and it was apparent, early on, that MicroStrategy’s technology was ahead of the game in many key areas. We were particularly impressed with MicroStrategy’s full-featured Web interface with drag-and-drop interactivity to meet the needs of our diverse user population. Scalability to handle volumes of data and an integrated architecture for a seamless user experience were two other important decision criteria for us.”
“MicroStrategy is pleased to support GT Nexus with enhanced reporting and analytics for their global logistics portal,” said Shankar Ganapathy, MicroStrategy’s Vice President of Channels. “Many companies have selected MicroStrategy for its user-friendly reporting features, scalability, and outstanding analytical capabilities. Our platform delivers comprehensive reports and analyses that can be critical tools for companies that are committed to improving operational efficiencies and enhancing productivity.”
