MicroStrategy Incorporated, a worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, recently announced its free reporting software package for departmental BI applications. MicroStrategy Reporting Suite enables companies to use MicroStrategy's integrated BI platform to develop and deploy premium, Web-based reporting applications, at no cost.

MicroStrategy's easy-to-use reporting software enables business users to quickly create the reports they need to gain critical insights into business data and make timely, analytically-based decisions. Users can view data in detailed tabular grid reports, graph data to analyze information quickly, drill-down to investigate root causes, make ad hoc queries, manage business performance with arithmetic and statistical metrics, and export data to Excel and PDF. When reporting requirements expand, companies can purchase licenses for more advanced report presentation, more interactivity, and additional BI users.

MicroStrategy Reporting Suite gives companies an easy entry point for initiating small, departmental reporting applications, along with a seamless path to build and expand BI deployments without creating independent silos of BI. Some departmental reporting tools create individual islands of BI that cannot be integrated into the larger BI system, resulting in inconsistent data and undermining the system's credibility. With MicroStrategy, organizations can efficiently merge departmental applications into a cohesive BI environment to ensure data consistency across the enterprise.

"In today's competitive business environment, companies are searching for new ways to minimize costs while maximizing employee productivity," said MicroStrategy COO Sanju Bansal. "MicroStrategy Reporting Suite delivers premium reporting software at no cost, along with online support and tools to help users get their reporting applications up and running very quickly. With MicroStrategy, companies can start with small applications and easily migrate them into a cohesive and consistent enterprise BI framework."
