Inside Info Raises The BI Bar and Encourages A ‘Qlik’ Switch - QlikView 9 offers on-premise, cloud and mobile business answers in record time

Sydney, Australia – June 10, 2009 – Inside Info has launched QlikView 9 for Australian businesses seeking an affordable business intelligence solution that is fast to roll out, suits 1-1000+ users and can be instantly interrogated by anyone easily via multiple interfaces, complete with user-assisted global search and enhanced graphics to bring operational data to life.

Available now ‘on premise’, ‘via the cloud’, or ‘via a mobile’, QlikView 9 continues its trend of giving anytime, anywhere business answers to organisations needing immediate decisions from often complex multiple data sources.

Highlights of QlikView 9 include:

  • Enterprise Manageability— supports large deployments, data sets and PDF reporting
  • Real time information – live real-time push data into memory and refresh
  • Cloud Availability— through Amazon’s reliable Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Web service
  • QlikView Mobile— launch of Java Mobile, Blackberry and iPhone clients
  • Usability and Simplicity— enhanced visualisation and search capabilities
  • QlikView Personal/Developer Edition— free downloadable developer tool for personal use

“QlikView has already set the wheels in motion for a major transition in the BI space with its simplicity, usability and time to value. Uptake of QlikView by mid-large enterprises to date is a testament to that globally and locally,” said Stuart Barnard, Managing Director at Inside Info. “QlikView 9 makes it even easier for customers to deploy QlikView on a grand scale while also making it simpler for small and medium businesses to get value from BI.  More and more organisations understand the value of switching to QlikView because of its dramatically higher project success rate.”

Extending Enterprise Capabilities

QlikView 9 offers more support for larger deployments than ever through significant new manageability, performance and scalability, real-time data and reporting enhancements, including: highly-visual control panels of all servers and modules, automatic load balancing for better memory utilisation and faster queries, field frequency calculation optimisation to better handle large queries, AJAX and Java Thin-Client collaboration support, live real-time push data into memory and refresh, and PDF report generation and distribution.

Deployable in the cloud

QlikView 9 can be deployed in just 15 minutes in the cloud using Amazon’s EC2 Web service to speed up time-to-value, scale on-the-fly, and give lower upfront cost structures. This gives the option to businesses of being platform neutral with no infrastructure cost.

Powerful, interactive mobile access

QlikView 9 is the first BI tool designed specifically for all major mobile interfaces including the Apple iPhone, BlackBerry and Symbian-based smartphones. QlikView for iPhone fully leverages the Multi-Touch interface and location-based GPS features to enhance QlikView 9’s interactive capabilities. QlikView 9 is also available on the majority of other mobile platforms through the new QlikView Java Mobile client for devices running Java Virtual Machine.

Advanced visualisation & search

QlikView 9 brings business answers to life with new, state-of-the-art visualisations, including detailed charting features such as spark lines, whiskers, trellis charts, and live chart backgrounds.

QlikView 9 also incorporates the BI industry’s most comprehensive global search functionality. It enables users to search every QlikView field simultaneously, from anywhere in the application, with just one click. As user types in their search words, QlikView instantly highlights available matches for immediate access. Users can search hundreds of fields at once to ensure every element of their QlikView database is investigated for matches.

QlikView 9 Enables Anyone to Create Custom Apps

A first for the BI industry, QlikView Personal Edition, is a fully-functional, free downloadable QlikView developer tool for personal use.  It now means creating personalised applications is easy for those with no previous training or technical expertise, and is no longer the exclusive domain of power users.  Users can design applications for any environment, from the largest to the smallest QlikView deployments.
