São Paulo, Brazil - 10/20/2007

MicroStrategy, one of the global leading companies in business intelligence solutions has officially partnered with GesFin^TM, a company which specializes in management software for the financial area, in order to develop a new planning solution which is specific for the MicroStrategy BI’s platform. Named GesFin^TM Planning for MicroStrategy, the tool is 100% Web and thoroughly meets the operational and strategic demands of a financial planning cycle.

Helio Soares, Partnership Manager and MicroStrategy SMB, explains that the development of this solution is part of a macro strategy on the part of the company to expand OEM partnerships. “The idea is to join our efforts with those companies which work vertically for the creation of thorough solutions which meet specific needs of some segments. Rather than developing products internally or acquiring them from third parties, it is part of our culture to establish alliances with companies such as GesFin^TM - well-regarded in the market, with broad experience in developing products for the financial area – to devise solutions which are capable to aggregate some type of value to our BI platform”.

GesFin^TM Planning for MicroStrategy was officially launched in early August and is now available in the marketplace. With this new solution, in addition to managerial reports, as well as a consolidated company view, the BI MicroStrategy’s user may also build their financial planning, by creating scenarios, performing simulations, forecasting DREs (income and fiscal year statements) and balance sheets, all based on assumptions, tracking and monitoring performance indicators. In addition, it makes available alerts for planning errors, and contemplates the whole Planning process workflow, which is fundamental for company managers.

“All these functionalities are made available directly from the MicroStrategy portal. Many solutions existent in the market lack such aspect and do not solve one of the major companies’ issues, which is the intelligent management in financial planning process. GesFin^TM Planning for MicroStrategy is totally integrated to the BI platform and, together, both software look as only one, thus guaranteeing total integration, more visibility, and business planning”, points out Antonio Dutra Junior, GesFin^TM Commercial Director.
