McLean, Va. (May 03, 2006) –

MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) has deployed MicroStrategy software to support its sales and financial reporting application for the broadcast industry. Harris is an international communications and information technology company serving government and commercial markets in more than 150 countries.

Harris Software Systems, a business unit of Harris’ Broadcast Communications Division, develops software solutions for advertising, media management, broadband, digital asset management, and automation for workflow management. MicroStrategy was selected by Harris Software Systems to support its MART application, an advanced web-based data warehouse solution that gathers critical sales and financial data for individual television stations and their corporate offices. With the MicroStrategy-based reports from MART, station and corporate managers can view sales and revenue data by multiple variables including advertiser, agency, product category, salesperson, geographic region, network affiliation, program, and daypart.

MART and MicroStrategy enable corporate managers to analyze consolidated sales and financial information to gain greater insights into their station group, while providing individual station managers the ability to view customized reports with secure access to just the data related to their station. Harris chose MicroStrategy because of its flexible, secure, web-based environment that is easy to use for both business and power users.

“MicroStrategy offers an excellent analysis and reporting environment that provides web-based access to large amounts of data to a wide variety of users,” said Michael Davenport, Product Line Manager for MART, Harris Corporation. “Using MART and MicroStrategy, broadcasters can measure results and make decisions based on more complete and accurate data across their entire station group.”
