MicroStrategy's software also provides up-to-date, sophisticated scorecards based on the most relevant variables related to Alitalia's customer base, which will allow easy identification of the "best" customers at any moment.
“With the knowledge achieved by using MicroStrategy, Alitalia will be able to derive valuable insight to provide customers with more personalized services based upon each customer's specific profile and requirements.”
Adolfo Ceccarini, Alitalia Direct Marketing & Loyalty Manager stated , "The information provided through data processing enhances our knowledge of people flying with our company.

“MicroStrategy's platform has already been integrated into the Alitalia data warehousing environment, revealing flexibility and efficiency in the data analysis and processing," adds Egidio La Rosa, responsible for the IT project. "We have reached in less than one year all goals that were defined during the initial stage of the project."
