MicroStrategy and Plumtree Enhance Alliance to Give Corporate Portal Users Easy Access to MicroStrategy’s Intelligent E-Business™ Software

Plumtree and MicroStrategy Co-Develop Four Plumtree Portal Gadgets™ for Embedding InfoCenter™

VIENNA, Va. and San Francisco, CA., April 25, 2000 -- MicroStrategy Incorporated ® (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of Intelligent E-Business™ software, and Plumtree Software, founder and leader of the corporate portal market, today announced the integration of MicroStrategy InfoCenter™ capabilities into the Plumtree Corporate Portal. The joint solution allows users to manage the distribution of information to a wide variety of wireless devices from the same Plumtree portal platform that integrates access to other enterprise applications and Internet services. The MicroStrategy InfoCenter integration fortifies an alliance between the two companies first announced last September following the integration of Microstrategy Web in the Plumtree Corporate Portal. The new corporate portal modules are the first to deliver information from the Plumtree Corporate Portal to wireless devices, allowing Plumtree customers to access portal data anywhere, any time.

MicroStrategy InfoCenter is an intelligence portal that provides users with a single point of access to information subscription, analysis, and method of distribution options. MicroStrategy InfoCenter users can select and personalize information services based on their preferences and choose delivery channels for those services, including Web, wireless and voice. With MicroStrategy InfoCenter embedded in a Plumtree portal, users can now manage information services via a personalized portal home page, but allow for delivery of that information via a variety of devices.

“This alliance focuses on creating further market opportunities for both companies,” said Sanju K. Bansal, chief operating officer of MicroStrategy Incorporated. “Plumtree’s strength in the portal market coupled with the power of MicroStrategy InfoCenter and its subscription-based model make this an excellent marriage of technologies. The two companies will work diligently to give end-users the ability to easily receive the information they want, when and where they want to receive it.”

Plumtree and Microstrategy integrated MicroStrategy InfoCenter in the Plumtree Corporate Portal as Plumtree Portal Gadgets™. Similar in appearance to the sports scoreboard or stock portfolio of a consumer portal, Plumtree Portal Gadgets™ are plug-in portal modules that represent components of enterprise applications and Internet services. Users assemble a view of their business by choosing the gadgets to appear in a personalized portal page. The suite of MicroStrategy InfoCenter gadgets enables portal users to perform four functions from the portal:

• Manage addresses: portal users can identify the devices to which they want to send reports.
• Manage services: portal users can manage the services to which they subscribe.
• View documents: portal users can view the reports in the services to which they subscribe.
• View default reports: portal users can view their favorite data warehouse reports.

Once the MicroStrategy InfoCenter gadgets are released in mid-May, Plumtree administrators will be able to download and install the new gadgets from Plumtree’s gadget factory, at http://gadgets.plumtree.com.

“Empowering portal users to deliver information to wireless devices extends the reach of the portal to new audiences who have previously only had limited access to the Internet.” said Plumtree CEO John Kunze. “Our ability to offer a portal platform for e-business combined with MicroStrategy’s business intelligence expertise offers a comprehensive solution for our customers.”
