System Identified Efficiencies Resulting in Estimated Cost Savings of More
Than $100 Million

MCLEAN, Va., July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — MicroStrategy(R)
Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business
intelligence software, today announced that the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) has designated the MicroStrategy-based Performance
Information Management System (PIMS) as its aviation operations standard.
This distinction allows TSA to leverage best practice performance standards
using PIMS. PIMS is the TSA business intelligence system used to analyze
and disseminate information about threat reduction programs to counter
potential threats to people, cargo, and commerce across the TSA.

Leveraging MicroStrategy’s Business Intelligence Platform(TM), PIMS
collects, analyzes, and reports passenger and baggage screening data and
provides operational performance metrics, such as wait times at selected
airports and screening equipment utilization. PIMS is also used to analyze
payroll data, TSA staff utilization, and passenger complaints and
compliments.

TSA uses PIMS to run over 1,000,000 reports per year across its user
base of 12,000 employees. TSA headquarters and field executive employees
use PIMS to streamline operations as well as validate security trends,
uncover potential threats, and promptly resolve issues.

PIMS is the source of the Management Objectives Report (MOR) scorecard,
and is used by executives within TSA to monitor performance and adherence
to goals for every airport in the nation. The inception and implementation
of this scorecard has identified efficiencies that resulted in an estimated
savings/cost avoidance of $100 million for TSA in FY07/FY08.

“PIMS is an exciting business intelligence application that has had a
far-reaching impact on the nation’s security,” said MicroStrategy’s COO
Sanju Bansal. “We are extremely proud that our business intelligence
platform is helping TSA personnel to streamline the management of agency
performance. With access to reliable and timely information, PIMS users
have enhanced visibility into operations to help them make fact-based
decisions driven by data.”
