Overview

MicroStrategy Incorporated is an American company that provides business intelligence (BI), mobile software, and cloud-based services. Founded in 1989 by Michael J. Saylor, Sanju Bansal, and Thomas Spahr, the firm develops software to analyze internal and external data in order to make business decisions and to develop mobile apps. It is a public company headquartered in Tysons Corner, Virginia, in the Washington metropolitan area. Its primary business analytics competitors include SAP AG Business Objects, IBM Cognos, and Oracle Corporation's BI Platform. Saylor is the Executive Chairman and, from 1989 to 2022, was the CEO. History Saylor started MicroStrategy in 1989 with a consulting contract from DuPont, which provided Saylor with $250,000 in start-up capital and office space in Wilmington, Delaware. Saylor was soon joined by company co-founder Sanju Bansal, whom he had met while the two were students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The company produced software for data mining and business intelligence using nonlinear mathematics, an idea inspired by a course on systems-dynamics theory that they took at MIT. In 1992, MicroStrategy gained its first major client when it signed a $10 million contract with McDonald's. It increased revenues by 100% each year between 1990 and 1996. In 1994, the company's offices and its 50 employees moved from Delaware to Tysons Corner, Virginia. On June 11, 1998, MicroStrategy became a public company via an initial public offering.

“To win by strategy is no less the role of a general than to win by arms.”
— Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.), Roman general, statesman. The Civil War, 1.72
“We are in the throes of a transition where every publication has to think of their digital strategy.”
— Bill Gates (2006) in: "The future according to the world's richest man" in The Independent (20 March 2006)
“Since human beings are highly adaptable it may be possible for an individual with any sort of competence to learn, in the end, according to any teaching strategy. But the experiments show, very clearly indeed, that the rate, quality and durability of learning is crucially dependent upon whether or not the teaching strategy is of a sort that suits the individual”
— Gordon Pask, in Learning Strategies and Individual Competence (1972), p. 221
“Implementation, not strategy, is what usually separates winners from losers in most industries, and generally explains the difference between success and failure”
— Bob Sutton, Strategy Is For Amateurs, Logistics Are For Professionals (2010)
“"Instead of the hit-and-miss strategy of trying to find signals using creativity and thought," a Renaissance computer specialist says, "now you can just throw a class of formulas at a machine-learning engine and test out million of different possibilities."”
