"MicroStrategy Report Services provides an easy-to-use, integrated reporting and analytics platform that provides our end-users with greater business insight," says Rebecca Watson, CIO of AutoTrader.com.
"We looked at other competing offerings, but preferred MicroStrategy`s end-user experience and integrated architecture. For a new product, we`ve found Report Services to be extraordinarily feature-rich."
Recently released, MicroStrategy Report Services simplifies the deployment of business intelligence applications throughout a large organisation - to all its employees, customers and suppliers - and delivers the entire range of enterprise report types that companies need.
Over 800 AutoTrader.com employees will run reports against a 7TB data warehouse and will use MicroStrategy Report Services for sales analysis and reporting to improve operational efficiencies and competitive insight.
