Introduces Qlik DataMarket, Qlik Sense Cloud and Qlik Sense
Charts
QONNECTIONS 2015 GLOBAL PARTNER SUMMIT-- Qlik® (NASDAQ:
QLIK), a leader in visual analytics, today announced its Qlik®
Cloud offering that is comprised of multiple services. As a result
of its recent DataMarket acquisition, the Company is introducing
Qlik® DataMarket, a Data-as-a-Service offering via Qlik Cloud,
along with Qlik® Sense Cloud for free sharing and Qlik® Sense
Charts for sharing visualizations on public sites.
Qlik DataMarket Offers External Data Sources in the Cloud for
Comparison, Validation and Context
As organizations move to a more data-driven culture, the
importance of context becomes more significant. The on-demand
availability of normalized data sources that users can quickly pull
in for added insights are key to more informed decisions to drive
competitive advantage. With Qlik DataMarket users can access a
comprehensive library of external data directly within Qlik Sense
to allow users to augment and cross reference their internal data
to gain context and drive deeper insights. No other vendor in the
business intelligence market delivers this type of data library
that encompasses both free and paid data sources available via
cloud-based data services.
With Qlik DataMarket users can combine external data with their
internal data with equal ease. They can search custom, syndicated
and public data and compare normalized data from different sources
to benchmark, verify, and then visualize that data to gain insights
and understand important associations and relationships. For
example, a sales manager could add population data to sales data to
better understand market penetration or combine weather information
to understand the effect of weather on retail sales.
With over 200 data providers and 100,000-plus data sets and more
than 5 billion fact values, Qlik DataMarket is a one-stop data hub
that empowers users to quickly answer critical business questions.
Qlik DataMarket comes pre-configured with many of the most
consulted global, ready-to-use data sources via a subscription
model. Sources include business demographics, currencies,
population, economic indicators, development indicators, and
weather, all offered at various levels of granularity, some down to
zip code.
Qlik Sense Cloud Offerings for Creation and Sharing of
Apps
- Qlik Sense Cloud: Now generally
available, allows users to share Qlik Sense applications with up to
five individuals for free without the need for them to download
Qlik Sense themselves. This further expands the audience being
introduced to the discoveries that can be made in Qlik Sense.
Additional features are planned for Qlik Sense Cloud, including the
ability to create apps and storyboards using personal data and Qlik
DataMarket data. This will enable users to experience Qlik Sense
from creation to collaboration fully in the cloud from any
device.
- Qlik Sense Charts: Enables
non-technical users to embed interactive Qlik Sense
visualizations on any public website or blog and share via social
media for free. Readers are able to view an optimized chart
regardless of device size due to Qlik’s responsive design and can
filter data for further insight.
Business users are seeing immediate value from Qlik Sense Cloud
sharing as Marc Osofsky, Senior Vice President & General
Manager at Lionbridge explains, “My team in Eastern Europe needed
an analytics tool that pulls data from multiple operational systems
to enable us to better run a new business. We chose Qlik Sense over
other offerings and have been impressed. We have since shared it
with our IT organization to review as part of a broader initiative,
which is very helpful as we collaborate on our strategy.”
“Our cloud strategy encompasses more than just an infrastructure
or Software-as-a-Service play,” said Anthony Deighton, Qlik CTO and
SVP of Products. “At Qlik we see an exciting opportunity for
Cloud-based value-added services, like Qlik DataMarket Data as a
Service offering, to optimize the visual analytics experience, even
at the point of decision. Likewise, because people do not make
decisions alone, sharing in the cloud will always be an important
part of our collaboration strategy as well.”
Qlik Sense Cloud sharing is available immediately. Qlik
DataMarket in Qlik Sense will be available in June 2015 and in
QlikView in the second half of 2015. Qlik Sense Charts and the
ability to create on Qlik Sense Cloud will be available in the
second half of 2015.
Qlik Cloud is part of the Qlik portfolio of visual analytics
offerings, which includes:
- Qlik® Analytics Platform
Specifically designed to make it easier for developers to build any
data-driven app they can imagine with the underlying performance of
Qlik. OEMs and developers can build on the powerful QIX in-memory
Associative Indexing Engine, with full capabilities of mashup and
extension APIs. With this platform they are not confined to the
specific visualization limitations of a tool vendor, but can use
this as a toolkit and open platform for whatever they choose to
build.
- Qlik® Sense Desktop: Free
version of the Qlik next-generation data visualization application
that delivers an intuitive drag-and-drop user experience for data
visualization, exploration, and storytelling capabilities in a
standalone, installed Windows client. Novice users can get started
by simply dragging an Excel document right into the app or by
tapping into multiple data sources used within the business. Qlik
Sense Desktop is free for personal and business use, with no limits
on the number of apps that can be created and no restrictions on
file sharing.
- Qlik® Sense Enterprise:
Qlik Sense Enterprise spans across all business intelligence needs
from reporting and self-service visual analysis to guided, embedded
and custom analytics. Qlik Sense Enterprise is designed to serve
audiences equally without compromise: business users gain the
intuitive experience they need, developers gain boundless
possibilities for what they can create and IT gains centralized
control for management and governance.
- Qlik® Cloud: Qlik continues to
build out its Qlik Cloud offerings: Qlik Sense Cloud allows free
sharing of applications with up to five people; collaboration is
being enhanced with the ability to publicly share interactive
charts through Qlik Sense Charts; and Qlik® DataMarket
enables seamless access to on demand external data sources.
