MicroStrategy Recognizes QuantiSense as Industry Solution Partner of the Year in its Inaugural Global Alliance Partner Awards

ATLANTA, April 7, 2010 – QuantiSense, a leading retail business intelligence software provider, was recently recognized by MicroStrategy as its Industry Solution Partner of the Year in the inaugural edition of MicroStrategy’s Global Alliance Partner Awards program. The awards, announced at the annual MicroStrategy World user conference in January, were created to recognize key business partners for working with MicroStrategy to support customers and help them maximize the value of their business intelligence (BI) applications.

The QuantiSense retail analytics application is built on MicroStrategy’s BI platform, making it ideal for retailers who need to get a formal BI strategy up and running quickly. QuantiSense is also appropriate for retailers who have a sophisticated data warehouse, are already using MicroStrategy, and want to take their implementation to the next level. Joint customers include retailers such as Burlington Coat Factory, Casual Male Retail Group, The Guitar Center, Hallmark Cards, Pacific Sunwear, Restoration Hardware, and Spencer’s.

Using MicroStrategy’s powerful BI capabilities, the QuantiSense application enables retailers to turn insight into action, with:

• More than 1,200 retail KPI’s, such as the Imminent Stockouts metric that helps retailers identify products that are likely to stock-out soon, avoiding potential lost sales
• QuantiSense Playbooks™ that guide users through specific, role-based analytic workflows to take action in response to recurring scenarios
• Market Basket analytics to better understand and sell to customers in every store, every time
• Dashboards unique to each retail role that give users the ability to see the most important insight at a glance and drill down for detailed data

“We are honored to be chosen by MicroStrategy for its first-ever Industry Solution Partner award,” said Jeff Buck, CEO, QuantiSense. “We chose to build the QuantiSense application on MicroStrategy because it offers an excellent BI platform for the retail industry. QuantiSense takes advantage of all the robust, built-in capabilities of MicroStrategy, then layers our retail expertise and Playbooks on top to deliver a superior packaged analytic solution that can be configured to each retailer’s precise business needs.”

“We are delighted to recognize QuantiSense and its outstanding industry solution for retail customers,” said Sanju Bansal, COO of MicroStrategy. “MicroStrategy and QuantiSense have a long-standing relationship that helps our joint retail customers gain greater value from their data.”
