Qlik View QlikView: World's Fastest Growing BI tool. With 10.3 customers being added every working day. QlikTech QlikView is an IN-memory based BI tool which can be deployed in a week's time. It comes at HALF the TCO and delivers TWICE the value compared to any OLAP based BI Solution In QUARTER of the TIME

QlikView is a single integrated tool for ETL, DW, Multi Dimensional Analysis, Dash boarding, Reporting, as per the Butler group user takes couple of hours training instead of weeks taken by traditional OLAP based tools

NOT REQUIRED, One of the major advantage of using QlikView is, it does not require database which saves money and very well skilled human resource. With no data warehouse required QlikView can be implemented in a couple of weeks saving a lot of TIME, MONEY AND RESOURCES. Named Named User lic NO: QlikView uses its integrated Robust ETL to Extract data from multiple data sources and forms a data repository using its patented Technology (AQL: Associative Query Logic) This technology overcomes the efforts and time required to build data warehouse, normalization, schema writing, creation of cubes. And Empowers the customer to be independent of the vendor to create and use analytics

Any OLEDB, ODBC complains which covers althea database in the world today + FLAT FILE, WEBFILE. TEXT FILE DELIMITED FILE. ALSO WORKS WITH SYBASE Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y YES Y TO CONNECT TO THE DATABASE Y TO CONNECT TO THE DATABASE Y TO CONNECT TO THE DATABASE Y TO CONNECT TO THE DATABASE Y TO CONNECT TO THE DATABASE

NO THIRD PARTY DEVELOPMENT TOOL REQUIRED. THE CUSTOMER BECOMES VENDOR INDEPENDENT FOR ANY NEW APPLICATION/ CHANGES REQUIRED NO THIRD PARTY TOOL REQUIRED NOT REQUIRED: QLIK VIEW HAS ITS OWN ROBUST ETL INTEGRATED AS A QLIKVIEW SUITE. THE ETL IS WIZARD DRIVEN CAN BE LEARNT IN A FEW DAYS AND OPERATED BY CUSTOMER HENCE EMPOWER THEMSLEF TO CREAT OWN APPLICATION AS AND WHEN DEMAND ARISES IN ADDITION TO ITS OWN DATA REPOSITORY QLIKVIEW SUPPORTS ALL MAJOR OLAP CUBES ALL ODBC COMPLAINT DATABASE(all the current database in the market) IRRISPECTIVE OF THEIR FRONT END, SAP USING A SAP CERTIFIED CONNECTOR BY MEANS OF THE GLOBAL STANDARD ODBC, OLEDB CONNECTIONS (all major crm system) BY MEANS OF THE WORLD STANDARD ODBC, OLEDB CONNECTIONS( all major payroll system) BY MEANS OF THE WORLD STANDARD ODBC, OLEDB CONNECTIONS (all major hr system)
