WELCOME TO MICROSTRATEGY EDUCATION

If you are reading this, then hopefully you are looking at educational solutions to maximize your investment
in MicroStrategy. And if youve gotten this far, I encourage you to go a step further and spend some time
reviewing all the courses and certifications we have to offer on all our MicroStrategy products.
MicroStrategy Education is, first and foremost, thoroughly committed to creating compelling content for
the various industries we support, and refreshing our courses frequently to support our software release
schedule. Equally important to us is the student experience when it comes to Education delivery and
knowledge consumption. Our Curriculum Developers bring with them not just experience in editing
and writing but an understanding of the user experience, how an individual learns, and how to create
workshops and lecture material that instills knowledge and stays with individuals once they leave the
classroom environment. The synergistic union of our curriculum developers, our education delivery
consultants, and experts in our technology organization has led to a collaborative effort in producing a
comprehensive catalog of courses, learning paths, and certifications for our users.
But success for us is based on our relationship with you. I have a simple philosophy when it comes to my
mission with the MicroStrategy Education teamCustomers provide feedback because they care, and
because they value our product. That philosophy drives us to always ask ourselves not whether we can
do better but how we can do better. Historically, our courses focused on analytics, appealed to the more
advanced user and assumed a level of MicroStrategy expertise. Building this course catalog required a
paradigm shift in our thinking. Today, learning paths for Analysts, Administrators, and SDK Developers
ensure that every course builds a foundation, and helps you gain skills no matter your level of MicroStrategy
expertise. We also recognized that time constraints and preferred methods of learning vary. So, hands on
class workshops, videos, short micro-learnings, and Self-Paced E-learning allow you to learn when you want
and how you want. Our E-learning courses continue to gain popularity as we see more customers purchase
the Enterprise Licensing edition of these courses to drive mass adoption within organizations. Last but not
least, I am extremely pleased to announce the launch of our brand new MicroStrategy Certifications. We
built these certifications with one word in mind TRUST. Any individual in your organization certified
under our new certification protocol can be trusted to have the knowledge and skill sets to leverage the
MicroStrategy platform.
In closing, I want to thank you for helping us get here. Your support and feedback have been instrumental in
the improvements we have and will continue to make as a team.
Sincerely,
Rohit Amba
SVP, MicroStrategy Global Education
