According to the report, “The business intelligence and
analytics platform market’s shift from IT-led reporting to modern
business-led analytics is now mainstream.” The report goes on to
say that “For their part, buyers want to expand modern BI usage,
including for self-service to everyone in the enterprise and
beyond.”
“We are, and will continue to be, a driving force of momentum in
the BI industry,” said Lars Bj�rk, Qlik chief executive officer.
“As the pioneer in this market, Qlik will continue to make bold
moves in building a modern, cloud-ready platform that delivers not
only beautiful visualizations, but a platform for enterprise-class
governance and manageability that can grow with customers on their
visual analytics journey.”
Qlik is focused on continuing to expand the market by creating
an extensible, cloud-first platform that companies of all sizes can
consider the centerpiece of their analytics strategy. In January
2017, Qlik announced that Qlik Sense® Cloud Business, its
SaaS-based visual analytics solution is available for SMBs, groups,
and teams to create, manage, and share analytics in the cloud.
Powered by the patented QIX Associative Indexing Engine, it
provides the scalability and performance of the industry-proven
Qlik visual analytics platform in a complete cloud environment.
With a flexible, low-cost monthly subscription, streamlined
administration and a fully web-based experience, customers can
benefit from Qlik Sense Cloud Business with no capital costs or
commitments.
The company also extended its current mapping capabilities and
moved its offerings beyond visualization with support for a broad
range of advanced geoanalytic use cases with acquisition of Idevio,
a provider of geographical-related software and services. Using
patented technology that compresses and streams mapping data, both
Qlik Sense® and QlikView® customers now have the ability to expose
hidden geographic relationships, offering greater insight, better
decisions, and higher ROI.
Over these years of continued innovation and changing the face
of BI, Qlik maintains its belief that all people need to drive
analysis from any data source – on premise, in the cloud, in a
hybrid environment, internal or external – without restriction or
limitation. With Qlik’s associative experience users can ask and
answer streams of questions to explore information freely rather
than being confined to a predefined path of questions – because
insights come from truly understanding the data from all
angles.
