Qlik brings developer platform for data-driven apps

BANGALORE, INDIA: Qlik introduced an analytics platform to support the development and creation of custom and guided analytics applications, including web mash-ups. The Qlik Analytics Platform is designed specifically for developers to build data-driven apps.

The Qlik Analytics Platform enables users to explore relationships across multiple data sources that would be hidden in hierarchical, query-based data models. The QIX engine leverages an in-memory columnar store delivering high-performance data compression and indexing, which enables more free-form exploration of the data without having to pre-determine the types of questions users may have.

The result is not just faster time to create apps, but faster time for users to gain answers and insights.

Anthony Deighton, Qlik CTO and SVP of Products said, “Developers can build apps that point to existing data sources and/or data warehouses, or just load the data into QIX and take full advantage of the powerful indexing technology that will differentiate their apps from others.”

Developers are also leveraging the open APIs to extend the platform, creating a larger ecosystem around Qlik technology.

Qlik Analytics Platform and its developer-based pricing will be available in June 2015.
