MicroStrategyÂ® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced that Dayton Early College Academy (DECA), selected MicroStrategy to support its educational assessment strategy and accountability plan for students

McLean, Va. (September 29, 2005) –

MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced that Dayton Early College Academy (DECA), selected MicroStrategy to support its educational assessment strategy and accountability plan for students. One of the first institutions of its kind in the United States and the first early college high school in Ohio, DECA’s mission is to maximize each student’s unique potential through a personalized, accelerated academic program.

DECA, which serves more than 200 high school students in Dayton, Ohio, uses MicroStrategy to capture, manage, and report real-time performance data in support of students’ personalized learning plans and academic progress. The type of data gathered includes student assessment activity, attendance, and demographic information. State content standards including benchmarks and indicators along with school learning goals and standardized test data are also analyzed.

DECA staff members use a web page template to enter assessments for each student, along with creating a “Personal Learning Plan” that details the student’s progress toward learning goal completion. Using MicroStrategy, the teachers, students, and parents have easy access to personalized reports with up-to-date performance information.

“Last year, we were faced with custom programming, tedious work, long delays, and total dependency on outside contract support to generate the information we wanted for each student,” said Dr. Judy Hennessey of DECA. “This level of manual work was not sustainable.”

Prithvi Solutions, a systems integration and consulting partner with MicroStrategy, helped DECA implement a Student Performance Monitoring and Reporting application using the MicroStrategy business intelligence platform. Hennessey continued, “MicroStrategy’s scalability, affordability, ease-of-use, and quality support and training have exceeded our expectations.”

“We are delighted to support the mission of DECA in seeking to maximize a student’s potential through a customized academic program,” said Sanju Bansal, MicroStrategy’s COO. “MicroStrategy’s industrial-strength platform, known for its ease-of-use, Web-based interface, and outstanding analytical capabilities, provides actionable data that can be used to help improve the academic performance of students at DECA.”

About Dayton Early College Academy
The Dayton Early College Academy (DECA) is the first Gates Foundation funded early college high school in Ohio. Located on the campus of the University of Dayton, the school serves an enrollment of no more than 400 students and currently is in its third year of operation. Enrollees earn both a high school diploma and up to two years of college credits toward a bachelor’s or associates degree while attending high school. The University of Dayton and Dayton Public Schools jointly sponsor DECA.

Captain D’s Launches Phone-Based Customer Satisfaction Survey with Angel.com

Sep 28, 2005 | Computer & Electronics, Computer Software, Internet, Technology | 0 comments

Chain of 600 Seafood Restaurants to Use Interactive Voice Response to Capture Immediate Customer Feedback

McLean, Va. (September 28, 2005) –

Angel.com, a leading provider of on-demand call center and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions and a division of MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), announced today that Captain D’s, a chain of 600 seafood restaurants, has selected Angel.com to build and deploy a phone-based customer satisfaction survey. The solution, which uses IVR to record customer responses, has already been deployed in 325 Captain D’s locations and a national rollout is planned in the near future.

Captain D’s selected Angel.com’s survey solution to capture instant feedback from customers after they complete their dining experience. Random customer receipts include a toll-free number which prompts the caller to answer 10 questions. The solution is completely integrated with Captain D’s point-of-sale system and web services, allowing for quick and easy reporting.

Captain D’s uses the data from the surveys to make recommendations to individual locations on improving the guest experience. The surveys are available for viewing instantly after the survey is completed and the stores and upper management are notified within minutes of surveys that may need attention. The company has already received over 6,000 completed surveys and expects to receive over 31,000 by the end of 2005.

“We needed to ramp up our phone-based survey pretty quickly and I didn’t want the learning curve that comes with an on-premise system. I was pleasantly surprised that Angel.com was able to provide a solution that my IT staff could build and manage internally at a very reasonable price. Angel.com made the entire process very easy,” said Chris Crabtree, Vice President of Information Services for Captain D’s.

“Typically in a project like this, doing the integration between systems takes as long as developing the core of the project. But working with Angel.com, we finished the integration quickly and I could concentrate on building meaningful reporting from the collected data,” said Steve Jacobs, Captain D’s lead programmer on the project.

“We are thrilled that Captain D’s selected Angel.com to build and deploy its customer satisfaction survey,” said Mike Zirngibl, President & CEO of Angel.com. “This is a perfect example of what Angel.com is built for – rapid development of IVR solutions that can be integrated with web services and managed internally by the customer’s IT staff.”

About Captain D’s
Headquartered in Nashville, Tenn., Captain D’s Seafood owns, operates and franchises more than 580 restaurants in 24 states. The first store was opened in Donelson, Tenn., in 1969 as Mr. D’s. The company later changed its name to Captain D’s Seafood and became Captain D’s, LLC, in August 2002.

Borland Software Selects Angel.com’s Virtual Call Center to Improve Call Center Efficiency

Sep 20, 2005 | Computer & Electronics, Computer Software, Internet, Technology | 0 comments

Global Software Company Uses Hosted Call Center Solution to Reduce Call Abandonment Rate and Improve Customer Response Time

McLean, Va. (September 20, 2005) –

Angel.com, a leading provider of on-demand call center and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions and a division of MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), announced today that Borland Software Corporation has deployed the company’s Virtual Call Center solution. Borland chose the Angel.com solution to replace its previous on-premise, hardware-based solution, and will use the Virtual Call Center to manage call screening and routing for the company’s technical support call center.

Angel.com’s Virtual Call Center is a hosted call center solution that combines the call distribution capabilities of an Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) system with the data collection capabilities of a speech-enabled IVR system, all in one easy-to-use web interface. Companies like Borland choose the Angel.com solution to help increase customer satisfaction, reduce call center costs, increase agent productivity and generate additional revenue.

“We looked at three providers of hosted call center solutions and it was very clear that Angel.com offered the best product with the most stability. Most importantly, Angel.com’s intuitive web-based system would allow the Customer Service department to own and maintain the solution,” said Gary Janos, Director of Technical Support at Borland.

During the decision-making process, Borland took advantage of Angel.com’s free trial of the Virtual Call Center product, which allowed the company to build a prototype of its actual call routing scenarios. The solution built by Borland’s technical support team utilizes advanced ACD functionality to handle the initial call routing and agent-to-agent routing, and IVR functionality to screen calls. After only a few months with Angel.com’s solution, Borland was able to put the company’s call center metrics back on track – significantly decreasing call abandonment rates as well as improving response times.

“The Angel.com solution means changes that used to cost me thousands of dollars and weeks to implement can now happen in real-time and without incurring any additional costs,” said Janos. “The people at Angel.com are devoted to the success of the product and extremely willing to help Borland implement a world-class solution. From a services perspective, response times have been fantastic – it’s a welcoming feeling knowing that if I have a problem, the Angel.com team will be there to help.”

“When Borland approached us, they were looking for a solution which offered world-class reliability, required minimal maintenance, and provided a short learning curve,” said Mike Zirngibl, President and CEO of Angel.com. “We were able to satisfy those requirements and get Borland up-and-running in just a few weeks, further proving that Angel.com’s innovative approach can result in instant cost savings and gains in productivity.”
