MicroStrategy Incorporated, the provider of business intelligence software, has entered into a strategic alliance with Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, the provider of consulting, technology and outsourcing services. Under this agreement, CGE&Y will more than double the number of consultants trained on the MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Platform by mid-2004. Cap Gemini Technologies LLC will also resell MicroStrategy software, allowing CGE&Y to provide a true end-to-end technology solution to clients around the MicroStrategy platform.
Through the alliance, CGE&Y will deliver MicroStrategy's scalability to companies that seek to extend their business intelligence enterprise-wide. According to the two organizations, “The experience of CGE&Y combined with the MicroStrategy platform can help organizations reduce operating costs, increase profits, and allow better managerial controls across organizations. Initially, CGE&Y and MicroStrategy will target the pharmaceutical, financial and retail sectors.”
"For companies that seek to extend business intelligence enterprise-wide, MicroStrategy offers exceptional scalability for building numerous applications and accommodating very large databases and user populations. Their customers have experienced significant satisfaction with enterprise implementations in the industry," said Brian Queenin, Vice President, Global Leader for Business Intelligence at CGE&Y. "We're excited to introduce the benefits of MicroStrategy's technology to our client base so that they can see the benefits that other MicroStrategy clients already realize."
"CGE&Y works with companies interested in deploying business intelligence throughout their businesses. These companies have pockets of business intelligence success and now want to expand the scope of their business intelligence applications to enhance critical aspects of their operations," said MicroStrategy's COO Sanju K. Bansal. "Working with CGE&Y, we will provide the products and services to allow these companies to reap the bottom-line benefits of enterprise-wide information sharing."
