MicroStrategy 9s Now Generally Available

MicroStrategy 9s is a comprehensive, unified platform that is designed to ensure the security of the most
valuable enterprise asset: information. MicroStrategy 9s was developed in response to the constant, persistent
cyber threats that have made security a top concern for organizations around the world. Uniquely positioned at
the nexus of analytics, security, and mobility, MicroStrategy 9s can enhance every MicroStrategy Analytics™
and MicroStrategy Mobile™ application with additional authentication security, enhanced user administration,
and user authentication tracking. MicroStrategy 9s is available at no cost to MicroStrategy customers current on
maintenance.

MicroStrategy Usher is designed to make enterprise security simple, and is now generally available for the first
time. MicroStrategy Usher is a powerful mobile identity platform designed to provide security for business
processes and systems across the enterprise. The product can replace traditional passwords with biometric
mobile identity and multi-level authentication, and offers enhanced, streamlined security administration
capabilities. MicroStrategy Usher features include digital badges issued via smartphone, geo-fenced
environment access, time-fenced access restrictions, and Touch ID access on mobile.

MicroStrategy Usher is easy to set up, and can be deployed to thousands of users within minutes, enabling an
enterprise to:

• Secure physical entryways with digital keys that can access leading PACS systems, including Lenel,
Honeywell, Datawatch, Paxton and S2 Security.

• Provide a single Usher badge to enable users to log into enterprise, cloud, and
SAML 2.0-based
applications. Supported applications include Salesforce.com, Google Apps, MicroStrategy and Microsoft
applications, among others.

• Validate user identities in-person or over the phone with numeric Usher codes, Bluetooth peer
discovery, and fractal-based sight codes.

• Enable users to conveniently access workstations by low energy Bluetooth or by scanning a QR code,
eliminating the need to enter a username and password.

• Gain a near real-time, 360-degree view into identity activities to detect anomalies and abnormal usage
patterns in order to enhance enterprise risk management, streamline business processes, and reduce
fraud.

The new MicroStrategy Secure Cloud platform for analytics, mobile and security applications is architected to

MicroStrategy servers, coupled with the required supporting infrastructure with metadata databases, relational

configured to be scalable and elastic, ready to grow with an enterprise’s applications’ successes, and also built

flexible pricing in place, and availability on Amazon Web Services’ global infrastructure of over 1.4 million
servers across 11 geographical regions, organizations can focus their attention on building applications to grow
their business. With the MicroStrategy Secure Cloud, MicroStrategy analytics, mobile, and security applications
