Analyst Quote:

The BI Survey 9

"MicroStrategy achieved the highest KPI scores overall across 23 products surveyed in The BI Survey 9. In my view, this is indicative of MicroStrategy’s focus on continuing to broaden and improve its BI platform and the fact that MicroStrategy has resisted the temptation to build a technology portfolio through acquisitions."
Barney Finucane, lead author of The BI Survey 9
