MicroStrategy
- MicroStrategy has rebranded to Strategy and microstrategy.com/pricing now redirects to software.strategy.com, which is a product page with no pricing on it

- The only routes offered are a custom ROI analysis, a demo request or a proof-of-value pilot
- The product is positioned around a proof-of-value pilot and an approved architecture, implying a scoped implementation rather than self-serve purchase
