QlikView and Your Data

QlikView: Consolidating
Disparate Data Sources

QlikView’s in-memory technology gives you the fastest way to gain insight from data trapped in your back end systems because it frees you from the traditional disk-based BI requirement of long, costly data integration projects. QlikView provides access to all your data sources: operational applications such as Oracle, SAP®, Salesforce.com; databases such as SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle underlying custom applications; data in traditional disk-based BI warehouses and cubes; data behind web services; and local data such as spreadsheets.

Beyond Traditional ETL – Add Value Not Redundancy

In traditional disk-based BI tools data must be extracted, transformed, and stored in proprietary data structures such as cubes prior to being accessible to end users. This process is time consuming, difficult, and provides no value to the end user – the only value is to the BI vendor’s consultants, who spend months doing the integration. QlikView’s in-memory architecture means that data simply needs to be moved into memory. Because memory is so fast QlikView can aggregate and calculate in real-time – the user simply clicks.

Bringing Your Data Together

QlikView lets you bring together data from a wide variety of sources. And, because QlikView operates entirely in memory, every source performs lightning fast, regardless of the performance of the under system. QlikView provides:

Access to Excel files, flat files and XML documents
ODBC and OLEDB access to every relational database
Standard interfaces to your ERP system or data warehouse
The ability to leverage security definitions to drive application and data entitlements for users
The ability to incrementally load data, so refreshes are extremely fast
Real-time updates from your underlying systems of record without full refreshes

As new data sources become available, QlikView provides the tools to incorporate them simply and easily—no new cube designs or rebuilding from scratch necessary.
