Learn of a manufacturer recall and need to locate all unsold inventory of the defective part? Immediately log into your sales, inventory, or supply chain analytics app from your mobile device and note your observation. Others who have access to the app see your annotation and a threaded discussion emerges, as team members move toward decisions and a solution.

QlikView’s Core Technology

QlikView is an In-memory BI Pioneer

In-memory is important for performance, but it takes a lot more to deliver a Business Discovery platform. Traditional BI based on queries and cubes may run in memory for faster response time, but they still require IT to manually maintain the data associations users depend on.

The QlikView Difference

It’s what QlikView does with in-memory technology that really makes a difference.
The QlikView Business Discovery platform:

Has an inference engine that maintains the associations in the data automatically
Calculates aggregations on the fly, as needed, for a super-fast user experience
Compresses data down to 10% of its original size to optimize the power of the processors
Accomplishes both within a single, comprehensive product

The Result – Less Maintenance and Faster Deployment

Neither users nor developers have to maintain the associations in the data, so organizations can move rapidly from prototyping to deployment to refinement.

Technology + Ecosystem = Platform

Thinking Outside the Box: Extensible Technology

QlikView is more than just a great Business Discovery Platform upon which to build BI apps. QlikView is also highly extensible. Partners and customers can create custom chart types using the JavaScript API and load data into QlikView from any data source using the QVX data interchange interface.
