• QlikTech’s in-memory model, automated data integration, associative technology and graphical analytical environment is delivering on an underserved market for workgroup-style analytic applications that enables business users to build solutions without much help from IT. This application of disruptive technology to an under-met market need is the primary reason for QlikTech’s position on the Completeness of Vision axis.
• The application of QlikView toward «workgroup» analytic applications belies its power, as its memory analytic model, 64-bit architecture and significant customizations built for the Intel chipset have made it the most performant BI platform in the market, based on anecdotal feedback.
• QlikTech’s culture of penetrating accounts with low-cost deployments will be a particular strength in the current economic environment as organizations look to deliver on analytical requirements without significant IT investment.
• QlikView’s 8.5 release delivered a «set analysis» capability that improves its ability to compare slices within information sets. For instance, set analysis would allow users to compare purchase patterns of high-value customers with purchases of low-value customers.
