Tales of Business Transformation8
Collecting “big data” was once big news.
But companies are now realizing that big data projects aren’t delivering their expected ROI because building a repository is just part of the equation.
How and where this data can provide value to the organization is the other key element—and this includes how organizations combine data from different sources to extract insights and drive transformative decision-making.
Big DataThe next big idea to transform your business could come from anyone—if everyone’s armed with the right information.
Qlik® has helped thousands of organizations gain big insight from big data—for big impact.
Accessible, associative big data exploration for nearly any use case.
Traditional data analysis models limit what data you can see and query, and how data is interconnected. Qlik’s associative model instead identifies every relationship (and the unexpected ways data isn’t related) across all of your data, including connectivity with big data repositories and solutions.
Then every user—not just data scientists—can dive in to big data through simple, self-service, interactive visual dashboards and natural language searches, sharing and building on their insights.
Data governance and management stay in the hands of IT in this build-once, deploy-everywhere centralized environment that maximizes data and application re-use.

“We’d narrowed our choices to two data visualization solutions, Qlik and a competitor. I decided to put both applications to the test. […] I fed both a massive database of physician claims with 200 million rows of information. The competitor fell over dead. It stalled. It couldn’t move forward with data that had not gone through an ETL process. Qlik responded within seconds.”* — Walter Mullikin, Senior Director – Head of Enterprise Analytics, Shire
