MICROSTRATEGY OPENS NEW PACIFIC TECHNOLOGY CENTER

MicroStrategy Incorporated, a leading worldwide provider of Intelligent EBusiness software, announces the opening of a new Pacific Technology Center in Carlsbad, Ca. The Pacific Technology Center is MicroStrategy's first software development organization outside of its Northern Virginia headquarters. The Pacific Technology Center will provide exciting opportunities for developers seeking employment with MicroStrategy on the West Coast, and will also provide rotation capabilities for current software developers based at MicroStrategy corporate headquarters.

"As we advance our technology efforts, it is important to establish a presence on the West Coast to attract top talent to our development team," said Michael J. Saylor, president and CEO of MicroStrategy Incorporated. "The Pacific Technology Center will enable us to grow our team of developers so that we can build innovative technologies that provide tremendous value to our customers."

Initially, a 20-person development team at MicroStrategy's Pacific Technology Center will be integrating OLE DB for OLAP, a connectivity standard for multi-dimensional analysis, into MicroStrategy's Intelligent E-Business platform. This technology is designed to create a robust solution that is easy to use with third-party end products. MicroStrategy expects that users will be able to simply plug their current interface tool in to MicroStrategy's powerful engine to conduct sophisticated, detailed customer and product analysis.

"We look forward to furthering our technology development efforts on the West Coast and developing integrated solutions to better serve our growing customer base and enhance our strategic alliances," said Stephen S. Trundle, chief technology officer of MicroStrategy Incorporated. "We view this expansion as a tremendous opportunity to enhance our product line and further our position as a leader in the Intelligent E-Business market."
