MicroStrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), a provider of business intelligence software, today announced that it has won a $5 million deal to provide software, services and training to the U.S. Postal Service.

MCLEAN, VA: This is the largest customer contract the company has signed last least three years. MicroStrategy said the Postal Service will install its software system-wide for use in reporting, analysis and information delivery. "The Postal Service is investing in business intelligence to improve the service we provide our customers as well as the efficiency of our operations," said Robert Otto, Chief Technology Officer for the Postal Service. "This platform will eventually be used by up to 30,000 employees to enhance efficiencies in areas that include retail, financial, and network operations, transportation logistics, and supply-chain management." The Postal Service purchased over $5 million of MicroStrategy software licenses, education, and software support services in June 2003. Additionally, the Postal Service has acquired options to procure consulting services, education, and software support services over the next 5 years. "We're proud to work with an organization as prestigious as the Postal Service," said MicroStrategy's COO Sanju Bansal. "It's MicroStrategy's experience that large companies such as the Postal Service have found that business intelligence, when deployed on an enterprise scale, can have a remarkable impact on operational efficiency."
