NCR Dismisses Lawsuit Against MicroStrategy

NCR Corporation, a leader in providing Relationship Technology solutions to customers worldwide, and MicroStrategy Incorporated, a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, announced that NCR dismissed its patent infringement lawsuit filed against MicroStrategy on June 20, 2001 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. No financial payments were made by either company. The parties have extended their agreement under which NCR resells MicroStrategy software.

"MicroStrategy is a valued partner, and together with NCR's Teradata warehouse, its technology is second to none for organizations looking to deploy extensive, enterprise-wide business intelligence solutions," said Ruth Fornell, vice president of Marketing for Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation. "NCR is pleased that the life of our reseller agreement with MicroStrategy can be extended, as analysts predict that the need for large-scale business intelligence solutions will grow rapidly in the next few years."

"For almost two years, NCR and MicroStrategy have worked closely to develop extremely successful solutions for nearly 100 customers, including Kmart, The Limited and Office Depot," said Sanju K. Bansal, chief operating officer of MicroStrategy Incorporated. "An extension of our reseller agreement would allow NCR and MicroStrategy to continue to offer an unmatched one-stop shop for business intelligence solutions -- complete with the data warehouse, hardware, relational database management system, business intelligence platform and appropriate services."
