INTELLISEEK SELECTS MicroStrategy's BI SOFTWARE

MicroStrategy Incorporated, a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, announced that Intelliseek, a provider of enterprise intelligence solutions, has chosen the MicroStrategy 7 Business Intelligence Platform for Intelliseek Corporate Intelligence Service (CIS). Intelliseek products enable Fortune 500 corporations to conduct sophisticated market research, gain timely consumer and competitive intelligence and increase knowledge equity to make informed decisions.

By leveraging the MicroStrategy Software Developer's Kit (MicroStrategy SDK) to create an easy-to-use, Web-based application for its CIS product, Intelliseek provides early warning, rumor management insight and consumer feedback to its clients to effectively manage their brands. CIS reports are delivered in a variety of formats, either as text summaries or in-depth charts.

"MicroStrategy 7 excels at providing end-to-end solutions for developers looking to implement easy-to-use Web reporting and build powerful, full-featured business intelligence applications," said Chris Connaughton, vice president of research and development at Intelliseek. "Intelliseek selected MicroStrategy over other BI reporting platforms primarily due to its Web-based interface and its ability to be customized to meet our clients' needs."

Intelliseek CIS features patent-pending technology that converts information found in consumer postings and media coverage into actionable reports. In turn, these reports provide deep insights into consumer perceptions on specific attributes of a brand or company, competitive comparisons, as well as alerts on critical events or trends.
