The QlikView Business Discovery platform bridges the gap between traditional business intelligence (BI) solutions and standalone office productivity applications, enabling users to forge new paths and make new discoveries.
QlikView works with what you already have and infuses a broad set of new capabilities into BI. It brings a whole new level of analysis, insight, and value to existing data stores with user interfaces that are clean, simple, and straightforward.
There are two main components:
1. QlikView Server – For security and enterprise management.
QlikView Server is the central source of truth in an organization. With today’s distributed workforce, QlikView Server provides a simple way for organizations to ensure everyone has access to the latest data and analysis, independent of their location. Regardless of the client chosen – zero-footprint Web browser clients, Windows, Internet Explorer plug-in, or Java – QlikView Server provides secure access to the latest version of each QlikView application.
2. QlikView Publisher – For distribution.
QlikView Publisher ensures the right information reaches the right user at the right time in the right format. As the use of business analysis spreads throughout the organization, controlling the distribution of analysis becomes increasingly important. QlikView Publisher allows for complete control of the distribution of a company’s QlikView applications, automating the data refresh process for QlikView application data. In addition, it ensures applications are distributed to users through QlikView AccessPoint and that PDF reports are distributed on time to the right users. QlikView Publisher is available as an add-on module to QlikView Server.
End-user collaboration for better business performance
QlikTech understands the critical need its users have to analyze, question and slice business data, and get the results out to decision makers rapidly. Unlike traditional BI solutions that make users adapt to their interface and methodologies, QlikView adapts to its user needs across the board. It enables users to be curious and creative on their own terms.It supports true collaboration and allows users to find and share analysis and insight with just a few clicks. Applications,reports and graphs can also be personalized for specifi c needs and distributed between user groups through QlikViewServer. QlikView eliminates traditional BI’s ongoing issue of creating islands of knowledge with multiple versions of the truth. In contrast, QlikView users collaborate from within a single version of the truth, sharing new mutually beneficial insights.
Immediate, actionable analytics
Data quantity and availability are rapidly increasing. And businesses are demanding a reduction in the latency between data capture and decision making. Additionally, business opportunities and threats are constantly emerging. QlikView adapts to these ever-changing data volumes and decreasing decision latency requirements. It permits the integration of near real-time data feeds for spotting trends in frequently- changing data. QlikView does this by opening up the data model for real-time data updates from source systems. As these updates from the master data sources are applied to QlikView, all end users receive real-time visibility through the measures, charts and alerts available in the application.
Secondly, dealing with the potential billions of data records for ad-hoc analysis means high process demands for data loading and refreshing. QlikView addresses this with incremental data loads using QlikView Data (QVD) files which makes the process 10-to-100 times faster. This architecture decreases load times from hours to minutes. It also reduces the load on the underlying operational or warehouse systems.
Easy-to-scale deployments
The introduction of 64-bit hardware with lower power, multi-core processors, in combination with a precipitous fall in the price of memory has allowed QlikView scalability and performance to increase to meet the needs of even the largest of enterprises. Today, QlikView handles thousands of users and billions of data records down to the transaction level, with nearly instant query response time running on standard hardware.With this level of performance, QlikView provides a robust platform for business analysis, not only within the enterprise, but also across its network of customers, distributors and suppliers. It also addresses solutions across a wide array of functional areas, including sales, marketing, supply chain, operations, finance, and human resources – just to name a few.
Delivering the right information to the right people at the right time
QlikView Server forms the information hub of the enterprise, providing the right information to the right people at the right time. QlikView off ers a common view of analysis, ensuring a single version of the truth across the organization. Users easily and securely connect to QlikView to get the latest updated information at their fi ngertips. QlikView also makes enterprise manageability easier than ever with role-based administration that ensures only those who are entitled to access data can get to it. And QlikView incorporates enterprise-class security to keep your data fully protected.
Secure, Integrated, Controlled Data Access
The QlikView platform ensures that an organization’s security model is honored in terms of who sees what analysis applications, as well as individual metrics and data within an application. QlikView security can be configured by user or group to work from standard Active Directory security models, LDAP or the enterprise security platform of your organization. The model can be extended from simple document access, through data distribution to individual chart and field level displays, as well as the functions within each application.
Multiple Deployment Options
The QlikView BI platform offers a rich variety of client deployment options, including Windows clients, Java clients, Web browser zero-footprint AJAX-based clients, and mobile clients. With a single click, QlikView can be deployed to any of these. Employees, suppliers, distributors, and customers alike can connect to the QlikView Server using a standard Web browser without losing the feature rich interactivity that characterizes QlikView. Using the latest web technology techniques,the QlikView AJAX client provides a zero-footprint, highly dynamic, interactive, browser independent, and rapidly-deployed analysis environment.
QlikView Everywhere
For the traveling workforce, the mobile and off-line capabilities of QlikView are remarkable. After synchronizing QlikView application data in the office, users have full access to portable in-memory analysis and reporting on the road. In offline mode, a user can work with a downloaded QlikView as if fully attached to the QlikView server. Our mobile clients also offer more than simply presenting a PDF report in a browser on your cell phone. Using the native iPhone or Java mobile edition client (BlackBerry compatible), a user can access applications on the QlikView Server directly, and interact, analyze and query a QlikView application.
Risk-free
Evaluating QlikView is risk-free. Developing your QlikView applications is also free. Anyone can simply download QlikView from QlikTech’s website and start developing applications with their own data. A fully-functional first application can be up and running in just a matter of hours.
And when you are ready to share your application with your colleagues or friends, let us know. We can provide a secure, shared infrastructure for you to demo your application to your group.
