Sydney, August 24, 2010 – Inside Info’s QlikView business intelligence applications have been named again as one of Australia’s 100 most innovative products, according to over 100 maven judges, in one of the largest innovation awards of its kind in Australia – the ‘SMART 100’ Index.
Inside Info’s QlikView business intelligence applications ranked number 71 on the ‘SMART 100’ this year, ranking on the list in 2009 as well, due to its innovative approach in helping organisations improve on how they measure and analyse business performance.
The SMART 100 Index was created by leading business media channel Anthill Magazine in 2008 to identify and rank Australia’s 100 most innovative products, proving to be one of the largest surveys of its kind in Australia. The Awards process spanned over six months and harnessed the power of Anthill’s magazine readers and over 100 mavens identified to judge the products entered. Entries spanned a broad range of industries.
Inside Info’s interactive dashboards and analysis solutions for the manufacturing, distribution, retail, pharmaceutical and transport industries provide self-serve analysis of performance in dashboards and reports that are simple to use, powerful and delivering value in weeks. Based on QlikView business intelligence software employees can freely explore related information for better insight and accurate answers. QlikView builds and maintains a non-relational, associative database residing in a computer’s RAM that is immediately available offline down to source transactions. Metrics are calculated ‘on the fly’ as the user performs ad hoc, point and click analysis so IT are not required to pre-define report hierarchies and second guess what users want to report on.
“We’re delighted to be recognised for the second year running for innovation in Australia, which, coupled with tremendous customer growth, is testament to this,” said Stuart Barnard, Managing Director, Inside Info. “Using our industry knowledge and QlikView expertise we’re able to develop powerful business intelligence applications that enable data analysis far quicker and more widely used than traditional techniques, specifically aligned to an individual company’s business processes. You can interactively analyse millions of records in seconds and scale to thousands of users for improved business performance that just isn’t possible with traditional BI technologies. All in a dashboard that’s still so simple to use and maintain.”
