• Access reports using Microsoft® Office or portable devices
• Interrelate online reports and control panels
• Create multi-sourced reports

Richard Frajnd, Head of Operations at MicroStrategy France, comments:  "We are delighted with the enthusiasm of Business & Decision, a long term associate, in supporting our promotion by offering clients a free day of preliminary training on MicroStrategy Reporting Suite. This is an example of Business & Decision and MicroStrategy working together to assist the recovery of French businesses in the financial crisis."

Head of B&D University, Emilie Wardell adds: "MicroStrategy's decision to offer its reporting software free of charge is a significant step given the current economic and competitive context. As a privileged partner, it was considered essential that Business & Decision associate itself with this offer."
