QlikView

QlikView is the world's fastest growing business intelligence software (IDC) that simplifies how people use their data to make every decision count. QlikView uses patented, in-memory association technology for visual analysis, dashboards and reporting that is simple to use, powerful and delivers measurable value in weeks for better decision making.

According to Gartner (2008 Business Intelligence Summit) BI is used aggressively by only 15-20% of business users, that means 80% are missing out. Gartner believe that this is due to the fact that most business users feel BI tools are hard to use. CapricornVentis are changing this perception with QlikView.

QlikView is a completely new, proven and improved, approach to business intelligence. QlikView is manufactured by QlikTech, headquartered in Radnor, USA.

Globally QlikView is used by over 381,000 people in 87 countries, adding 12 new customers each working day. "happiest with the highest proportion of any BI vendor reporting no technical problems."

Leading analysts have recognised QlikView for its ease-of-use, functionality, technical vision and customer satisfaction. QlikView has won numerous awards like Gartner's 'Best Mid Market Software Solution' and was recognised as a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum in 2008.

CapricornVentis is the only Elite Partner appointed by QlikTech for the Irish market and one of three in the UK. The BI team at CapricornVentis specialise in selling, creating and bringing to life QlikView applications that simplify business analysis for sales, marketing, management, finance and operational staff.

Typical and traditional BI software forces analysis to be predetermined based on linear thinking of anticipated questions. The problem with this is that you need to know everything you want to look at upfront - which almost nobody does, and it incurs high costs and time. Also, if you want to change what you are analysing, you're back to square one.

In addition, traditional BI, and enterprise software in general, is difficult and expensive to install and use, requiring special expertise and long lengths of time with consultants who have practices dedicated to planning, customising, implementing and updating.

QlikView instead enables associative analysis with applications that make everyone intelligent. QlikView works the way your mind works to process information, allowing you to freely explore related information for better insight and accurate answers. It's like adding more and more specific keywords to a Google search, until finally you find what you're looking for. The path taken is unique for each person. This patented Associated Query Logic (AQL) technology is unique to QlikView.

QlikView loads data from underlying sources into a computer's main memory (RAM) and calculates metrics 'on the fly' as the user performs ad hoc, point-and-click analysis. This has a number of advantages:

1. Flexibility to change and modify analysis 'on the fly';
   
   
2. An extremely fast, interactive visual interface; and
   
   
3. No more trade off of power and simplicity - QlikView can replace hundreds of OLAP cubes and analyse billions of records in seconds. QlikView compresses data (typically 10:1) as it is brought into memory.
   
   

QlikView is easy to buy, deploy and use, so anyone can explore, identify and solve problems and answer questions. We find it spreads throughout a company when people see other people using it. Best of all customised QlikView applications typically are delivering value in less than 4 weeks, compared to many months with traditional business intelligence approaches.

You're a mid market or large organisation where:

• You're battling to answer basic questions about your business
• You spend more time collecting and cleaning data than analysing it
• You're drowning in reports
• You have problems with the quality of the information you use
• You're forced to make decisions with insufficient facts and information
• You're having problems to combine data across different systems and platforms
• You're frustrated with the complexities of OLAP and one dimensional view in Excel
