MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that CompuCom has chosen MicroStrategy as its BI platform to provide sales, services, and financial reporting capabilities. Dallas-based CompuCom is a leading IT outsourcing company, providing infrastructure management services, application services, systems integration, and consulting services, as well as the procurement and management of hardware and software.
