The QlikView Business Discovery platform 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.

QlikView 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. It brings a whole new level of analysis, insight, and value to existing data stores with user interfaces that are clean, simple, and straightforward.

Consolidate

QlikView’s patented, in-memory technology rapidly combines data from any source. Using SAP, Salesforce or other enterprise applications? Got data in Excel, XML, or CSV formats? Have data stored in Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or MySQL? Using a data warehouse? No problem. QlikView’s got you covered.

Search Associatively

QlikView’s associative search is what’s next. It provides a familiar search experience to deliver fast business answers. Go ahead and enter your search terms.

QlikView extends associative search into every list box across every dashboard, enabling users to search indirectly and quickly find detailed answers to critical questions.

Visualize

Here’s the fun part. In just seconds, take your data and see it any way you want. Put it in sexy charts, tables, graphs — every kind imaginable. Make them 2-D or 3-D. Zoom in. Zoom out. Click anywhere for more detail. Remix and reassemble data in new views and create new visualizations for deeper understanding. With QlikView, you’ll see your data in a whole new light.

Take Gartner's word for it.... 

Sounds too good to be true, right? Here is what Gartner says.... “Data discovery platform momentum accentuates the need for a portfolio approach. For the past two years, our research in the BI platform market has highlighted a growing bifurcation in terms of buying centers. Specifically, we noted that IT, on the one hand, favors stack centricity, whereas business users and departmental buyers, on the other, often with an enterprise BI standard in place, are increasingly turning to innovative, data discovery tool vendors. These data discovery alternatives to traditional BI platforms offer highly interactive and graphical user interfaces built on in-memory architectures to address business users' unmet ease-of-use and rapid deployment needs.
