QlikView Practical Features
Due to is simple installation, low cost-of-entry, and extremely high utility, we recommend QlikView as a solution for most of our off-the-shelf efforts.
"QlikView 8 creates a framework for true collaboration," said Steve Stroupe, Project Manager at Colonial Supplemental Insurance, based in the US. "We do a lot of collaborative analysis – talking with our territory managers. This allows us to not only discuss the state of the business, but also to manage and report on it together at the same time."
Actionable Analytics
QlikView 8 makes sophisticated analysis smarter by:
- Creating placeholder fields, which hold data in memory and can be treated just like any other data.
- Allowing data to be entered/edited in placeholder fields and distributed across aggregations as necessary.
Collaborative Analytics
QlikView fosters collaborative business intelligence through:
- Private and shared document objects, bookmarks and reports
- QlikView Server operating as a central "hub" for managing shared objects
- "Click to mail" bookmarks
- Locally developed analysis shared on local servers
- Embedding QlikView in client applications such as Microsoft© Office™
Mass User Deployment
- QlikView streamlines mass deployment through:
- Automatic generation of web pages for all three object clients (AJAX Zero-Footprint, Java Objects,and QlikX Clients)
- Simplified server requirements for QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher, the module that automates data refresh and ensures appropriate access for specific users
- A web services interface to QlikView Server
- Optimized and simplified installation without large investment in infrastructure
Mass Document Deployment
The proliferation of QlikView both within the enterprise and to the "extended enterprise" has created a demand for tighter integration between QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher. QlikView does this by:
- Integrating installation for QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher Standard Edition
- Providing direct access to QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher-managed documents within the QlikView client
- Synchronizing releases of QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher
