MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that Boehringer Ingelheim (Schweiz) GmbH (named here as Boehringer Switzerland) has selected MicroStrategy to improve its sales reporting and efficiency. Boehringer Switzerland is the Swiss branch of the international pharmaceuticals company Boehringer Ingelheim.
Boehringer Switzerland selected MicroStrategy for reporting and analysis of sales productivity data. With MicroStrategy, sales data can now be supplied more rapidly to field sales and management, which helps the company to streamline operations. With MicroStrategy’s flexible, user-friendly reports, individual users can create their own reports and work more efficiently. In addition, the reports give Boehringer Switzerland management greater insights into market data to help them plan sales activity and analyze the productivity of regional sales groups.
As part of its extensive selection process, the Boehringer Switzerland management team defined 10 Key Performance Indicators and asked selected BI providers to create several reports with this information. “MicroStrategy made an excellent impression during our evaluation process. In addition, our team in Australia has already deployed MicroStrategy for reporting and has had positive results,” said Mr. Gregor Brunner, Department Manager IT of Boehringer Switzerland.
“MicroStrategy provides greater reporting capabilities than other BI suppliers and is very user-friendly,” explained Alexander Herter, Business Analyst at Boehringer Switzerland and Project Manager for the evaluation of the new BI solution. “Data can be supplied rapidly and more clearly with MicroStrategy, and the reports serve as a basis for operational and strategic decisions.”
