We
have been investigating and evaluating QlikView for some time and we are now ready
to introduce it to you. Recognized by the leading research company IDC
Data as the fastest growing of the top 20
worldwide business intelligence software providers, the QlikView product from
QlikTech has been described by them as “a non aggregated virtual data warehouse”
and as "a very different approach to data
management from other major BI vendors by providing what amounts to 'infinite' dimensional ad-hoc query and
analysis to end-users - something that traditional OLAP vendors cannot
provide with their existing products." We at Chase International have carefully evaluated
this product ourselves and are all agreed that QlikView is one of the most
powerful, exceptional and fastest query engines with a great user interface
we have ever seen in nearly 20 years in this business. Thanks to its’ use of a patented
in-memory “Associative Data Model”, Qlikview combines a ‘blindingly fast’ query engine,
a multidimensional analytical engine and a user interface designed to
generate interactive charts and reports. QlikView can connect to a wide variety of
databases and file formats through standard interfaces and combine the
data within them within in-memory “views”.
You can also connect to what QlikView calls “inline” data – data
entered manually which is particularly useful for lookup or reference tables
not stored in the database. As data is loaded, it is very efficiently
compressed and a series of specific pointers to data are created. This
use of pointer references mixed with the compression process means that
previously large and unwieldy databases can be reduced dramatically in
size (e.g. by a factor of 100:1). With this and QlikView’s own patented
analytic data engine you could solve data consolidation issues without the
need for a data warehouse. Once you have the data you can start to build up
the sheets that make up the user interface – adding data, charts, buttons,
dashboards. The whole process is easy
to use and lightning fast - you have to see it to believe it and you
don’t just have to take our word for it - The Butler Group comments on the
deployment of QlikView here:- “The value of QlikView lies in its rapid learning curve,
and the substantial reduction in the time taken to deploy and customize data
analysis projects. Because the product has an intuitive point-and-click
interface, users can become productive after only limited training, rather
than taking weeks to get up and running.” You are all invited to come and see for yourself
at one of the following free events where you will be able to see
QlikView in action:- Tuesday
31st October 2006 at Coppid Beech Hotel, and Wednesday
1st November 2006 at the Business Learning & Conference Centre,
