Why QlikView?
QlikView provides fast, powerful and visual in-memory business analysis - without the limitations, cost or complexity of
traditional BI applications. Reporting applications can be deployed in days and users trained in minutes. Designed specifically
for business users, QlikView puts information at your fingertips instantly, giving you the intelligence you need to act - faster.
Financial executives benefit from bottom-line accuracy of the company's profits, margins, receivables and payables. Sales
executives track revenue targets by account, geography, rep, and product lines. Warehouse managers reduce inventory costs with
alerts on new incoming orders and customer delivery dates. Every leader in the organisation will gain the business insight they
require. Contrary to conventional wisdom, you can do all of this without building OLAP "cubes" or data warehouses. That means
applications are easy to build and simple to change. On the fly. With instant results. The reason for QlikView is Qlear:
visual reporting for better performance.
QlikView 8 truly represents the next generation of business intelligence, creating significant new opportunities for innovation
and superior performance for organisations of all sizes and across all industries.
Innovation Themes for QlikView 8
- Actionable Analytics
- Collaborative Analytics
- Mass User Deployment
- Mass Document Deployment
QlikView 8 also includes enhancements to its industry-leading visualisation of data. Users can display results in more than
two dozen colourful chart format styles - from "funnel" and Pareto charts to heat maps - and with multiple "gauges" for improved
information management. "New layout features and reporting charts in QlikView 8 make it even easier to see results according to
my preferences," said Thomas Nilsson, IT Manager at HemoCue, a Swedish manufacturer of medical diagnostic products. "Looking at the
same data in a different way gives you the same answers, of course, yet it can spark different ideas. Not only is it more interactive,
it's also more intuitive."
Actionable Analytics
Feature: QlikView 8 makes sophisticated analysis smarter by:
- Creating placeholder fields, which hold data in memory and can be treated just like any other data
- Allowing data to be entered/edited in placeholder fields and distributed across aggregations as necessary
"Our existing QlikView 7 applications provide a wealth of historical data, but QlikView 8 will allow users to do forward-looking
analysis and compare different scenarios with a few clicks," said Steve Hunt, Vice President and CIO at SI International, a leading
system integrator to many US government agencies. "Our managers will be much better able to understand the future implications of
today's decisions."
Benefit: Strategic business intelligence lies not only in analyzing the past, but also in better predicting the future - making
calculated business decisions based on what-if scenarios, and then capturing results for future comparison. QlikView 8 simplifies
specific business cases such as what-if analysis, budgeting and planning, and display of close-to-real-time data, merging interactive
analysis and user input/decisions.
Collaborative Analytics
Feature: QlikView 8 fosters collaborative business intelligence through:
- Private and shared document objects, bookmarks and reports
- QlikView Server operating as a central "hub" for managing shared objects
- "Click to mail" bookmarks
- Locally developed analysis shared on local servers
- Embedding QlikView in client applications such as Microsoft Office
"QlikView 8 creates a framework for true collaboration," said Steve Stroupe, Project Manager at Colonial Supplemental Insurance,
based in the US. "We do a lot of collaborative analysis - talking with our territory managers. This allows us to not only discuss the
state of the business, but also to manage and report on it together at the same time."
Benefit: Improved business performance is a team effort, one that requires users to work together to find insight from data, and
then share that analysis with others. QlikView 8 simplifies collaboration and sharing of insight gained from analysis across users.
Mass User Deployment
Feature: QlikView 8 streamlines mass deployment through:
- Automatic generation of web pages for all three object clients (AJAX Zero-Footprint, Java Objects, and QlikX Clients)
- Simplified server requirements for QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher, the module that automates data refresh and ensures appropriate
access for specific users
- A web services interface to QlikView Server
Optimised and simplified installation
Benefit: The goal of business intelligence is to deliver personalised analysis to the right users
at the right time, enabling users to make better business decisions. QlikView 8 allows companies to deploy
analysis to hundreds or thousands of users, inside and outside of the enterprise with no control or access
to user's machines, ensuring that all have access to the latest QlikView functionality.
Mass Document Deployment
Feature: The proliferation of QlikView both within the enterprise and to the "extended enterprise" has created a demand for
tighter integration between QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher. QlikView 8 does this by:
- Integrating installation for QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher Standard Edition
- Providing direct access to QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher-managed documents within the QlikView client
- Synchronising releases of QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher
Benefit: Simple and secure administration of large numbers of QlikViews, providing personalised analysis in the hands of the right
user at the right time.
