Qlikview Business Intelligence Whats New

QlikView 11 takes Business Discovery to a whole new level by enabling users to more easily share information with coworkers, supporting larger enterprise deployments through enhanced manageability, and delivering an enhanced mobile experience.

With QlikView 11, business users can conduct searches and interact with dynamic dashboards and analytics from any device. They can ask and answer questions on their own and in groups and teams, forging new paths to insight and decision. They don't have to go back to IT for help with a new query or report each time they come up with a new question. Instead, IT's role in Business Discovery is to enable self-service business intelligence (BI) by assembling and delivering relevant data while ensuring security, scalability, and performance.

THE FIVE THEMES OF QLIKVIEW 11
QlikView 11 arms business users with multiple sources of insight: data, people, and place. Make decisions "on location" with mobile Business Discovery. Nurture and encourage collaborative decision making with social Business Discovery. And drive data-driven decision making with improvements in core QlikView. With our investments in five theme areas, we've taken a major step forward in QlikView becoming the standard for Business Discovery:

  • Social Business Discovery
  • Comparative analysis
  • Mobile Business Discovery
  • Rapid analytic app platform
  • Enterprise platform

Social Business Discovery
Social Business Discovery enables business users to collaborate on discoveries. They can ask and answer their own stream of relevant business questions in formal or informal groups, in real time as well as asynchronously. Users collaborate with others to explore data and forge new paths to discovery and insight.

The new social Business Discovery capabilities in QlikView 11 build on existing collaboration functionality in the QlikView platform including collaboration objects, shared bookmarks, Microsoft Office® integration, and QlikView web parts for use with Microsoft SharePoint®.

PERFORM COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS FOR DEEPER INSIGHT
Business users can quickly gain new kinds of insight when analyzing information in QlikView with comparative analysis. Users can now easily compare and interact with multiple different views or selection states of the data. This makes it easier to spot trends, outliers, or differences, and gain new insights into patterns of use, opportunities and threats, and relative performance.

MOBILE BUSINESS DISCOVERY
With mobile Business Discovery, users can get insights "on location" and take immediate advantage of being in a particular place at a particular time. QlikView on Mobile delivers true Business Discovery and the full power of QlikView to the mobile device.

SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE TABLET PLATFORMS IMPROVES USABILITY AND TIME TO VALUE
Organizations can get better usability and faster time to value from their QlikView investments by giving business users access to their QlikView apps via HTML5 browsers on a number of different tablet devices. This means users get a seamless experience with their QlikView apps across tablets and desktop and laptop computers. They get the same functionality and interactivity, without waiting for developers to create new versions of the app for each specific mobile platform.

RAPID ANALYTIC APP PLATFORM
With Business Discovery, there are no "end" users. Instead, every user is the start of something, a node in the creation of information that is no longer highly centralized and radial. A rapid analytic app platform helps business users contribute to the creation of analysis quickly and simply without requiring extensive ongoing involvement from IT.

QlikView 11 includes new and improved capabilities that meet the needs of IT professionals and third-party software developers - as well as the needs of business users who want to create their own analytic reports.

EXTENSIBILITY
QlikView 11 makes it easier for developers to extend the platform.
Document Extensions Provide a Way to Execute Custom Code
With the Ajax browser client, business users gain a more streamlined, effortless experience when working with data from external analytic systems. They can interact with data returned from other analytic systems directly within QlikView - without having to access the external system in a separate, disconnected mode. Like the extension objects we introduced in QlikView 10, document extensions are reusable. Once created, they can be reused in multiple QlikView documents.

Document extensions provide a way to execute custom code and interact with the QlikView Ajax/JavaScript API (application programming interface). For example, a developer might want to track usage patterns of a QlikView document with a document extension that interfaces with Google Analytic s- without rendering a Google Analytics chart. Or, the developer may want to run code not tied to a specific object, or may want to customize the toolbar or tab row.
