QlikView for iPhone Delivers First & Only Interactive Business Intelligence App for iPhone Users

Sydney, Australia, April 16, 2009 – Businesses can now, for the first time, give Apple iPhone-using mobile workers access to dynamic, click-and-query management, sales, marketing and product information housed within their QlikView business intelligence application.

Inside Info, the Australian provider of QlikView, the world’s fastest-growing Business Intelligence (BI) software, today announced the availability of QlikView for iPhone, the first truly interactive mobile BI app for business built specifically for the iPhone.  QlikView for iPhone fully leverages iPhone’s Multi-Touch and GPS features to deliver QlikView’s renowned interactive capabilities.  The result is a ground breaking app purpose-built for the iPhone that puts the power of sophisticated, real-time business answers in the hands of mobile users.

QlikView for iPhone takes full advantage of the iPhone’s native interface.  The entire application is Multi-Touch driven with complete implementation of the iPhone finger gestures users are accustomed to, this allows users to select, interact and drill down into data and charts unlike any competitive mobile BI apps.  With QlikView for iPhone workers can explore data in any way they choose, drilling down into a single SKU or customer name rather than static reports.  And to clear selections all you have to do is shake the device.  Apple’s popular 3-D Cover Flow feature is also enabled, allowing users to ‘flip’ through business analysis, make a selection with changes instantly reflected throughout.    

In addition QlikView for iPhone uses GPS to create smart location-aware reports.  For instance when a sales representative needs to get up to speed on an account before a meeting, they don’t have to start from a list of 250 accounts in the region, instead the iPhone will know where they are located and get answers for the account they are walking to.

A recent mobility study by AberdeenGroup showed that the top driver for enterprise mobility is to improve worker productivity, and the report showed that enterprise mobility can lead to a 40% increase in employee productivity, 35% improvement in customer satisfaction and 25% improvement in employee retention. 

“Having a more efficient workforce, getting closer to your customers and having a more responsive organisation is widely understood, unfortunately current mobile BI offerings on the increasingly popular iPhone don’t reflect this,” said Stuart Barnard, Managing Director, Inside Info.  “QlikView for iPhone bridges that gap by providing the first truly interactive mobile BI application, built from the ground up for the iPhone that lets workers get the information they need, whether down the hall at an internal meeting or across town at a customer or supplier.”
