Free BI Review from QlikPower
Posted by Noel Shannon on Fri, Jul 15, 2011 @ 05:42 AM
At QlikPower, we’ve witnessed a sharp change in the business intelligence (BI) market during the past couple of years. This change is an evolution from traditional BI, which is bloated, rigid, underutilized, and slow to deliver value, to what we call Business Discovery, which is nimble, straightforward, mobile, and for everyone.
So we're offering a Free Review of your BI requirements. Just give us a sample of the data that you have to deal with on a daily basis and we will show you how QlikView can bring real benefit to your organisation in a fraction of the time it takes to deliver traditional BI results, and for a fraction of the cost.
If only organisations could enable everyone to leverage data for business advantage — to explore data and draw insights and meaningful conclusions from it. Isn’t that what the promise of BI was all about? But traditional BI software has failed to deliver on this vision because of its myriad complexities, time lags, and expensive professional services requirements.
Traditional BI software is cube - and query-based, and is typically an enormous software stack cobbled together through mergers and acquisitions.
Traditional BI software is hard to for end users to learn and use and as a result, adoption is limited. According to IDC, it can take up to a year and a half to deploy a traditional BI solution. This is in large part due to requirements gathering and data modelling and integration efforts. This lag does not scale to the needs of business, given that an organization can live and die in that timeframe.
Implementation fees alone for large traditional BI software deployments can amount to enormoius sums. That’s on top of software license costs and maintenance fees. Business Discovery platforms, in contrast, can have a total cost of ownership that is half that of other BI solutions.
The application difference
Users are not limited to predefined paths they must follow, or questions they mustformulate ahead of time. Users ask what they need to ask, and explore up, down, and sideways rather than only drilling down. QlikView provides Google like Search, and can perform what if style analysis that provides rich powerful applications.
Our app like model means no one needs the headache of deploying and managing monolithic business applications. Business Discovery platforms empower anyone to quickly develop and deploy simple, focused, and intuitive apps that can be easily reused. These apps are easy to modify, mash up, and share, allowing innovation to flourish at the edges of the organization and spread inward. The new opportunity is leveraging a model that lets any user quickly develop and deploy task-specific, purpose-built BI apps.
Remixability and reassembly. Nobody can predict what questions business users will have when they start exploring data — not even the users themselves. Traditional
BI solutions require IT or power users to get involved whenever new questions arise.
In contrast, Business Discovery platforms make it easy for business users to remix and reassemble data in new views and create new visualizations for deeper understanding. With Business Discovery, users generate insights like never before.
