And, it means that my students can be productive as soon as their careers begin,” says Barbara Wixom, Associate Professor, Director MSMIT, University of Virginia.

“I have been using MicroStrategy in my Data and Information Management, and Business Intelligence classes in the undergraduate and graduate programs. Using MicroStrategy Web gives students a great opportunity for hands-on practice with one of the best-in-breed analytics software platforms.
