QlikView: Intuitive dashboard solution for BI

BANGALORE, INDIA: Sybase Inc., an enterprise software and services company that focuses on managing and mobilizing, and QlikTech, a business intelligence (BI) software vendor, have announced that they will deliver QlikView a powerful, easy-to-use analytics solution tool that enables user-driven dashboards, ad-hoc analysis and reporting.

“Business intelligence is no longer just the domain of trained information professionals, but rather used everyday by employees at all levels,” said Dan Lahl, director, product marketing, Intelligent Enterprise Solutions, Sybase. “Both QlikView and Sybase IQ handle enormous amounts of data, and can accommodate large numbers of users, providing a hearty platform for conducting complete analysis that can be easily interpreted by the average business user. Separately, Sybase IQ and QlikView approach analytics in a non-traditional manner, and together, they represent the next generation of business intelligence.”

When it comes to performance and scalability in an analysis environment, Sybase IQ produces incredible results because of its unique column-based architecture, patented indexing and scalable grid. Likewise, QlikView takes a next-generation approach with its in-memory business analysis, software that provides a unique associative analysis experience, leading to an immediate advantage in making informed business decisions. Rather than following a structured linear path, QlikView associates related data as a user clicks.

Unlike online analytical processing (OLAP) technologies, QlikView operates in memory, making it easy to alter a metric without the need to build a new aggregate data search.  These differentiators make it possible for users to make informed decisions in a timelier manner.

“Sybase IQ and Qlikview created a new window into our organization,” said Allana Cummings, vice president and chief information officer, Children’s Hospital in Omaha. “The faster access and visual analysis allow much greater insight into the data we need to provide optimal care for our patients.”

“Users love QlickView because it allows them to use their information the way they think, analyzing complex data in an intuitive way,” said Anthony Deighton, senior vice president, marketing, QlickTech. “Syabase IQ’s robust analytics engine, with its patented data indexing and compression technology, provides a foundation, with unmatched scalability on which QlikTEch can deliver user-driven analysis. To us, QlikTech and Sybase IQ complement each other perfectly.”
