QlikView
What if you could answer every question about your business?
What if you stopped guessing and started knowing how to drive faster, smarter decisions? QlikView is a new kind of business software that makes this a reality for more than 13,000 companies worldwide.
Stop guessing and start knowing exactly what's going on with your business. QlikView lets you rapidly analyse data from all key sources in your organisation in a way that maps precisely to your needs and processes. There's no need to force everyone into one way of thinking. You can compare and contrast, and look at every angle and permutation. And you can ensure your findings get to the right people so they can take proactive action.
QlikView approaches the challenge of business intelligence from a new perspective, that of providing value to end users quickly and empowering them with tools to craft their own view of the data. Traditional disk-based BI tools have a time consuming and costly development cycle that postpones demonstrated value until the end of the project. With QlikView, end users can be in charge of finding their own, business critical, slice of the data. Changes can be made in minutes, often by the end user. Condensing this process allows developers a high paced development cycle focused on delivering value to end users immediately.
Today, more and more large enterprises rely on QlikView to power decision-making in their organisations. Every day more enterprises around the world turn to QlikView as their BI platform of choice as they continue experiencing unprecedented success with its scalability, manageability, data integration capabilities, and support for key architectural and data security standards.
IT is often burdened with providing business intelligence tools to ever-increasing numbers of users who want to make better business decisions. The complexity of traditional disk-based BI puts IT in reactive mode to deal with slow-running queries and erratic response times that vex users. In contrast, QlikView empowers end users to create and drive their own analysis without burdening IT. Its unique architecture automatically optimises performance, even with billion record data sets and tens of thousands of users—to ensure a consistent, highly-responsive user experience—freeing IT to focus on other activities.
Qlikview is a leading, new class (in-memory*), easy-to-use, fast and flexible business analysis solution, which gives individuals access to data that can most impact their business results.
Most organisations, at times experience some limitations with their reporting solution's ability to timeously provide the insight they require to make business decisions. QlikView is an agile analytical tool that provides flexible ad-hoc analysis capabilities, powerful analytic applications, and simple printable reports to individuals at all levels of the organisation.
Senior executives typically don’t have time to become expert users of complex, specialised reporting systems. They are dependent on staff to create and present static reports which don’t enable the kind of analysis they need to do. Qlikview has an ideal solution to this problem, providing executives fully functional views of critical business information, allowing executives to examine their business or business area from the highest level dashboard view, right down to the lowest level transaction (eg. order or invoice). This empowers senior decision makers in the organisation to immediately spot anomalies, and drive constructive action. Qlikview also provides "what-if" analysis capability to allow individuals to assess the impact of various factors on their organisation.
Analysis can even be taken entirely off-line on a laptop and remain fully functional. Results can be printed as reports, sent to Microsoft Excel or copied into other Microsoft Office applications.
Qlikview is quick-to-deploy, easy–to-learn and easy-to-use. Most users can effectively use QlikView within minutes. Numerous instances have been reported whereby analysis tasks that used to take several hours in other application are undertaken in Qlikview in minutes. The productivity increases for IT staff and business users alike is one of the great strengths of QlikView.
At the end of 2009, QlikView had over 570 000 users in 93 countries.
