MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that several of its Value-Added Reseller (VAR) partners have developed pre-built business intelligence applications for the JD Edwards user community using the MicroStrategy BI platform.
