Representing QlikView Solutions By Function

A simplified view of a standard QlikView deployment containing the location of
the various QlikView products as well as both data and application locations.

Products Overview
• QlikView Developer
The QlikView Developer is a Windows-based desktop tool that designers and developers
use to create:
• a data extract and transformation model , and
• to create the graphical user interface (or presentation layer)
The QlikView Developer is also the environment where all user interface and user
experience design is developed, everything from graphs and tables containing slices of
data to multi-tab architectures to application of color scheme templates and company
logos and so forth.
• QlikView Server (QVS)
• The QVS is a server-side product that contains the in-memory analytics engine and
which handles all client/server communication between a QlikView client (namely
desktop, IE plugin, AJAX or Mobile) and the server.
• It includes a Management Console for providing Administrator access to control all
aspects of the server deployments (including security, clustering, distribution etc.) and
also includes a web server to provide front-end access to the documents within. The
web server’s user portal is known as “AccessPoint”.

QlikView Publisher
QlikView Publisher is a member of the QlikView product family that manages content and
access, by presenting the end-users with up-to-date information and letting you manage
your QlikView documents in a powerful way.
It is used as a distribution service to ‘reduce’ data and applications from source QVW files
based on various rules (such as user authorization or data access) and to distribute these
newly-created documents to the appropriate QlikView servers or as static reports via email

What can YOU do with QlikView?

• QlikView and the IT Pro
QlikView’s approach to BI allows for a self-service model for business users on the front
end while maintaining strict data security and governance on the back end.
Because of this approach, IT professionals—from enterprise architects to data analysts
— can remain focused on their core competencies: data security, data and application
provisioning, data governance and system maintenance. They no longer have to spend
time writing and re-writing reports for business users.
In a typical QlikView deployment, IT professionals focus on:
• Managing data extracts and data and system security
• Creating and maintaining source QlikView files (QVWs and QVDs)
• Controlling data refresh and application distribution through QlikView Publisher
• Administering QlikView deployments via the QlikView Management Console (part of
QVS)

• QlikView and the Business Analyst / BI Developer
• The role of a business analyst or BI developer in a typical QlikView deployment primarily
involves the use of QlikView Desktop. QlikView developers use this Windows desktop
application to extract data from source systems, create data models, and transform the
data. It is where they describe all metadata, create data storage layers (QVD layers),
and lay out the user interface.
• The BA or BI developer can also reuse existing extracted and pre-modeled data from the
QVD layer by pulling “off-the-shelf” data from the QVD, when relevant for their
application.
• The BA or BI developer also wants to ensure that their QlikView business applications
are using the most recent data and that QlikView apps are being distributed to the
correct business user community. For this reason, BAs and BI developers typically work
closely with IT pros who use QlikView Publisher on the back end to ensure data refresh
rates and QlikView Server on the front end to ensure the applications are correctly
distributed and meet the business’ needs.

• QlikView and the Business User
• Business users interact with QlikView applications exclusively via the front end of a
deployment, most typically using a browser on their desktop, laptop, or mobile device
(such as an iPad). Users simply open their AccessPoint portal (or, in the case of
integrated solutions, their organization’s own enterprise portal) and select the QlikView
application they wish to use.
• QlikView Server provides all client-server communication and is the engine that drives the
in-memory associative experience. Once the user’s security credentials are verified, they
then open and can begin working with the application, exploring and interacting with the
data and asking and answering their own stream of questions in a self-service mode.
Users can also collaborate with other users in the organization, sharing insights and
exploring data together, in real time or asynchronously.

• Deliver the right information to the right people at the right time
• QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher form the information hub of the enterprise,
providing the right information to the right people at the right time.
• Users easily and securely connect to QlikView to get the latest updated information at
their fingertips.
• Through automated, timely and secure distribution of personalized analysis and
reporting, users have access only to the data and analysis to which they are
authorized.
• Actionable analytics
• QlikView offers the unique capability to input data directly into the in-memory data
model, allowing users to perform what-if scenario analysis or to do budgeting and
planning directly in QlikView.
• QlikView also permits the display of close-to-real-time data feeds for spotting trends in
frequently changing data.
Benefits of using QlikView

• End user collaboration for better business performance
• QlikView quickly adapts to the needs of the users and not the other way around.
It promotes user intelligence by allowing users to be curious and creative.
• QlikView supports users working together to find insight from analysis and to
share that insight across users. Applications, reports and specific graphs can be
personalized for specific needs and shared between user groups through
QlikView Server.
• Easy-to-scale deployments
• QlikView provides a robust platform for business analysis not only within the
enterprise, but also across its network of customers, distributors and suppliers -
addressing solutions across a wide array of functional areas from sales and
marketing to supply chain and operations to finance and human resources.
• QlikView handles thousands of users and billions of records of data down to the
transaction level with near instant query response time running on standard
hardware.

• Update analysis at the speed of light
• In-memory analysis and reporting is changing the rules of the BI industry. Dealing with
potentially billions of data records for ad-hoc analysis means high demands on the
process for doing data loads and refresh.
• QlikView does incremental loads by using QlikView Data (QVD) files which makes the
process 10 – 100 times faster. This architecture decreases load times from hours to
minutes. It also reduces the load on the underlying operational or warehouse systems.
• Deliver a single version of the truth
• The QlikView Publisher and QlikView Server interfaces provide a detailed, alert supported
real-time view of the QlikView installation and minimizes the time to action.
• It also provides an easy way of seamlessly integrating native security with the QlikView
platform. QlikView Publisher’s load-sharing capabilities allow for the distribution of tasks
between locations. This guarantees that users always have access to the latest analysis
ensuring a single version of the truth across the organization.

• Multiple deployment options
• The QlikView BI platform offers a rich variety of client deployment options from
Windows clients, to Java, to zero-footprint AJAX based clients. Employees,
suppliers, distributors and customers can connect to the QlikView Server using a
standard web browser without losing the feature rich interactivity which
characterizes QlikView.
• Using the latest web technology techniques, the QlikView AJAX client provides a
highly dynamic, interactive and fast deployable analysis environment leaving a
zero-footprint. The QlikView Java client provides a pixel perfect alternative for
reporting and analysis integration in Java-based portals or intranet solutions.
QlikView also offers an ActiveX plug-in client for Microsoft Office integration.

• On-line and off-line analysis
• For the traveling workforce, the off-line capabilities of QlikView are remarkable. After
synchronizing QlikView application data in the office, users have full access to portable in-
memory analysis and reporting delivering detailed information when on the road.
• Risk-Free
• Evaluating QlikView is risk-free.
• A fully functional first application can be up and running in a matter of hours. In fact, most
customers are live with their first project in less than 30 days - proving how QlikView is
simplifying analysis for everyone.

• The QlikView Information hub
QlikView Publisher and QlikView Server offer secure, automated and timely distribution of
personalized analysis and reporting to any user who is authorized.
• QlikView Publisher – for distribution
• QlikView Publisher ensures that the right information reaches the right user at the right
time.
• As the use of business analysis spreads throughout the organization, controlling the
distribution of analysis becomes increasingly important. QlikView Publisher allows for
complete control of the distribution of a company’s QlikView applications, automating
the data refresh process for QlikView application data. In addition, it ensures that
applications are distributed to the users through QlikView AccessPoint.
• QlikView Server – for security
• QlikView Server is the central source of truth in an organization.
• QlikView Server provides a simple way for organizations to ensure that everyone has
access to the latest data and analysis regardless of their location. Regardless of the
client chosen – Ajax zero-footprint, Windows, ActiveX plug-in, or Java – QlikView
Server provides secure access to the latest version of each QlikView application.
