Business users
Business Discovery is the next generation of business intelligence. It bridges the gap between traditional BI solutions and standalone office productivity applications, enabling users to forge new paths and make new discoveries. Business Discovery works with what you have and infuses new capabilities into BI: insight for everyone, zero-wait analysis, mobility, an app–like model, remixability and reassembly, and a social and collaborative experience. The QlikView Business Discovery platform delivers a combination of capabilities that make it unique in the BI marketplace: user-centric interactivity, associative experience, access to business data—from anywhere, speed-of-thought analysis, and rapid time to business value.
User-Centric Interactivity
Ask your own questions and formulate your own insights in a simple and straightforward way. Google-like search lets users type any word or phrase, in any order, and get instant, associative results that illuminate new connections and relationships in data sourced from different systems. Visualize data in the way that makes the most sense to you. Take data and see it any way you want, including in attractive charts, tables, maps, and graphs in 2-D or 3-D. Zoom in, zoom out, and click anywhere for more detail. Remix and reassemble data in new views and create new visualizations for deeper understanding.
Speed-of-Thought Analysis
As the pace of business accelerates, lag time is unacceptable. QlikView radically collapses time to insight with zero-wait, instantaneous results. Users simply call up data, ask questions, and receive answers — all on the fly, all on their own. Leverage a highly optimized, scalable, in-memory engine for instant access to very large data sets. Derive insight in just a few mouse clicks. Data visualization isn’t just about great charts and graphs—though QlikView provides those. Data visualization is about seeing relationships and finding meaning in data, and QlikView’s associative experience provides a quick path to insight.
Rapid Time to Value
Measure time to value in weeks, days, or even hours. According to an IDC survey, 44% of QlikView customers deploy QlikView in less than one month and 77% deploy it in less than three months. In contrast, a typical traditional BI software implementation takes months or even years.
Associative Experience
Gain unexpected business insights by understanding how data is associated—and what data is not related. Conduct direct and indirect searches across all data anywhere in the application—globally or within a single field. Unlike traditional BI tools, when QlikView users click on a data point in a field, no queries are fired. Instead, all the other fields instantaneously filter themselves based on the selection the user made. The user’s selections are highlighted in green. The datasets related to users’ selections are highlighted in white, while unrelated data is highlighted in gray.
Rapidly combine all your business data
Easily access relevant information from multiple business systems by rapidly combining data from any source, including Oracle, SAP, Salesforce.com, SQL Server, MySQL, or Excel. Unite data from multiple systems in a single in-memory location to access a full range of detail from top-level indicators to mid-level trends to full transactional detail – in one comprehensive system. Leverage, but don’t require, a data warehouse.

Get unprecedented freedom from the desktop with dynamic, interactive data analysis when and where you need it.
