Qlik View

QlikView: World's Fastest Growing BI tool. With 10.3 customers being added every working day. QlikTech QlikView is an IN-memory based BI tool which can be deployed in a week's time. It comes at HALF the TCO and delivers TWICE the value compared to any OLAP based BI Solution In QUARTER of the TIME

QlikView is a single integrated tool for ETL, DW, Multi Dimensional Analysis, Dash boarding, Reporting, as per the Butler group user takes couple of hours training instead of weeks taken by traditional OLAP based tools

NOT REQUIRED, One of the major advantage of using QlikView is, it does not require database which saves money and very well skilled human resource. With no data warehouse required QlikView can be implemented in a couple of weeks saving a lot of TIME, MONEY AND RESOURCES. Named Named User lic NO: QlikView uses its integrated Robust ETL to Extract data from multiple data sources and forms a data repository using its patented Technology (AQL: Associative Query Logic) This technology overcomes the efforts and time required to build data warehouse, normalization, schema writing, creation of cubes. And Empowers the customer to be independent of the vendor to create and use analytics
