McLean, Va., (October 16, 2009) –
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that BHG is using MicroStrategy 9 for in-depth sales, inventory, and operations analysis. BHG is one of the leading department stores in Singapore, recognized for quality, value, and service.
A MicroStrategy customer since 1998, BHG upgraded to MicroStrategy 9 to take advantage of the new dashboard functionality. BHG’s business users will leverage MicroStrategy 9 dashboards to analyze sales and inventory performance, including sales by store locations, product categories, departments, and customers. BHG’s dashboards will include several advanced visualizations that will allow business users to intuitively interact with data, make quick comparisons, and analyze key metrics at-a-glance. BHG plans to expand its MicroStrategy 9 dashboard environment into other areas of the business, and will develop a comprehensive Merchandiser’s Workbench and Store Manager’s Workbench integrating its BI platform with its ERP system.
“Like many department store chains, we collect a significant amount of customer, product, and sales data every day from our point-of-sale systems,” said Serene Tan, Director, BHG. “MicroStrategy 9 dashboards will provide our company with a highly-visual and intuitive way to analyze our key retail performance data as well as empower actionable data at the functional level.”
