    MicroStrategy 2009 Annual Report MicroStrategy: Best in Business Intelligence 1861 International Drive McLean, VA 22102 703 848 8600 703 848 8610 fax www.microstrategy.com Letter to Stockholders Dear MicroStrategy Stockholder: In 2009, MicroStrategy celebrated its 20-year anniversary and ended the year with impressive financial results and strong industry momentum. For the first time in the Company’s history, quarterly revenues exceeded $100 million, and this occurred in both the third and fourth quarters of 2009. Numerous factors contributed to MicroStrategy’s exceptional performance, including positive acceptance of our latest software release, the introduction of innovative new product offerings to penetrate additional markets, hundreds of new customers and expanded BI deployments from existing customers, and a continued commitment to delivering superior customer service. Revenues for 2009 reached a record $377.8 million, an increase of 5% over 2008. Product license revenue increased by 6% over 2008 to $101.9 million. The Company’s operating income from continuing operations in 2009 was $86.3 million, or 23% of revenue, compared to $67.8 million, or 19% of revenue, for 2008. Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $96.9 million in 2009, a 14% increase over 2008. MicroStrategy ended 2009 with $224.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. In early 2009, MicroStrategy announced its most significant software release in nearly a decade, MicroStrategy 9™. This major release delivered new technology to dramatically improve performance and efficiency for both large-scale enterprise BI environments and smaller, departmental BI applications. In January 2010, we announced MicroStrategy 9 Release 2, featuring powerful performance enhancements that make information flow much faster and easier to business users and enable IT staff to deliver more BI with less effort.

    Educational Use of Mobile Phones in Schools in Panama

    EXPLORING APPLICATION, INTERACTION AND INTERFACE DESIGN FOR EDUCATIONAL USE OF MOBILE PHONES IN SCHOOLS IN PANAMA Von der Fakultät für Informatik, Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik der Universität Stuttgart zur Erlangung der Würde eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) genehmigte Abhandlung vorgelegt von ELBA DEL CARMEN VALDERRAMA BAHAMÓNDEZ aus Panama Stadt Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schmidt Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Jonna Häkkilä Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 30.07.2014 Institut für Visualisierung und Interaktive Systeme der Universität Stuttgart 2014 i Abstract Mobile phones have become the most ubiqutious computing devices worldwide. In developing countries, mobile phones have been adopted much faster than conventional desktop computers and in some regions mobile phones are the only kind of computer available. In fact, current mobile phones have well integrated multimedia capabailities, are equipped with multiple sensors, offer a wide range network capabilities, and many offer a good usability. These features, together with the ubiquity of mobile phones makes these devices a versitile and powerful tool to be used for supporting education in developing countries. Over the last decade researchers have explored the potential of using mobile phones for learning in school in developing countries around the world. So far, most research focused on the use of customized applications that were designed to support specific tasks within a single school subject or to support a particular learning task. The research reported in this dissertation followed a human- centered design approach. In contrasts to previous research the approach taken was more holisitic than previous studies, included longitudinal studies, and investigated how ordinary off-the-shelf mobile phones can be used as a tool to assist teaching and self-directed learning across different classes in elementary schools in Panama.
