U.S. Borax Adopts MicroStrategy as Enterprise-Wide Business Intelligence Standard

For Worldwide Marketing & Sales Applications

McLean, VA, (March 08, 2004) –

MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced that its existing customer U.S. Borax, Inc. has adopted the MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Platform(TM) as its enterprise-wide business intelligence standard. U.S. Borax will harness MicroStrategy for analysis of and reporting on its marketing and sales trends worldwide.

U.S. Borax, Inc. supplies nearly half the global demand for borates – essential nutrients for plants, part of a healthy human diet, and key ingredients in fiberglass, ceramics, detergents, fertilizers and wood preservatives. The company employs nearly 1,500 people worldwide and ships its products to customers in nearly 100 countries.

U.S. Borax will primarily utilize MicroStrategy for its extensive “Marketing and Reporting System” (MARS). This system is used to report on sales figures, forecast projections, estimate competitive sales and gauge the state of the business. MicroStrategy users will include U.S. Borax executives, marketing analysts, sales representatives, financial analysts, distribution analysts and production supervisors.

“MicroStrategy has proved to be an excellent choice for Borax since we started using it in 1997,” said U.S. Borax’s Manager of Marketing Information Systems Jon Ashton. “We first chose MicroStrategy because of its flexible reporting capabilities, superior analytics, ease-of-use and ease-of-administration. These reasons have not changed. In fact, many of the products we first compared it against are no longer around. MicroStrategy is truly a quality product.”

“Industry leaders like U.S. Borax demand only high standards for business intelligence reporting and analysis,” said MicroStrategy COO Sanju Bansal. “The fact that U.S. Borax has been a customer of MicroStrategy since 1997, and is still expanding its applications of our platform, is testament to our technology’s outstanding capabilities and the bottom-line benefits it can engender.”

About U.S. Borax

U.S. Borax operates California’s largest open pit mine in Boron, California – one of the richest borate deposits on the planet. The company supplies nearly half the world’s demand for refined borates, minerals essential to life and modern living.

Borax traces its roots to California’s Death Valley, where borate deposits were discovered in 1872. The twenty mule teams which the company used to haul ore out of the remote desert live on as a symbol of the company’s commitment to innovation. In 2002, U.S. Borax celebrated 130 years of continuous business in California.

Today, U.S. Borax is acknowledged as the world leader in borate technology, research and development. U.S. Borax is a member of the Rio Tinto Group (NYSE: RTP).

McLean, Va., (February 11, 2004) –

MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced that it has selected Michael Caron, a Director in Business Development and Strategy at FleetBoston Financial (NYSE & BSE: FBF), as winner of MicroStrategy’s Individual Excellence in Business Intelligence award. Michael Caron was recognized today at MicroStrategy World 2004 in Miami, Florida.

FleetBoston Financial, a diversified financial services company with assets of $197 billion, offers a comprehensive array of financial solutions to over 18 million individual, corporate, and institutional customers. A MicroStrategy customer since 1998, FleetBoston Financial has deployed MicroStrategy enterprise-wide to anchor multiple, high-value business intelligence applications.

With Mr. Caron’s guidance and leadership, these applications have had significant bottom-line benefits for Fleet. One of these applications, BI 2.0, provides a comprehensive view of Fleet’s commercial customers and represents the backbone of the bank’s analytical CRM strategy. Deployed through a portal environment, MicroStrategy provides Fleet’s 2,000 relationship managers, portfolio managers and business analysts with detailed revenue, expense, and profitability information. This business intelligence portal is integrated into the workflow of Fleet’s Seibel sales force automation solution. This consolidated customer view has helped drive a 21 percent increase in sales productivity.

Further, Fleet’s use of business intelligence to improve campaign design and direct marketing has increased cross-sell revenues and products used per customer 14 and 16 percent, respectively.

The benefits of using MicroStrategy to access, analyze, and share information in Fleet’s enterprise data warehouse are recognized throughout the company. Fleet has seen positive change and product gains in its sales management process, as well as improvements in product cross-sell, especially across different lines of business as the velocity of referrals increases. Mr. Caron has also worked across divisions at Fleet to improve the use of business intelligence in the transaction approval and pricing processes, making available customer information in a way that reduces handling time and makes managers more efficient.

“I’m very honored to receive MicroStrategy’s Best Practices In Business Intelligence Individual Excellence award,” said Michael Caron. “MicroStrategy’s capabilities have enabled us to achieve real cost-savings and revenue growth. This award is a reflection of the hard-working and talented group of professionals that work with me everyday to maximize the benefits of the MicroStrategy platform. I accept this individual excellence award on behalf of my great team, and thank MicroStrategy for this honor.”

“Our customers can achieve significant improvement in their businesses with MicroStrategy’s technology; however, Michael Caron has exhibited exceptional distinction, defined leadership and innovation in business intelligence software deployment,” said MicroStrategy’s COO Sanju K. Bansal. “With over 20 years of experience in information technology, Michael Caron has played a critical role in deploying MicroStrategy’s business intelligence platform at Fleet and is helping make it a smarter, more proactive company.”
