Introduction to Qlikview2
Qlik HistoryFounded in Lund, Sweden in 1993, originally called “QuikView” as in “Quality, Understanding, Interaction, Knowledge”
Product was designed as a way to reduce the brain works.
A key aspect was the color-coding scheme in which selected values are highlighted in green, linked values in white, and excluded values in highlighted grey
First two versions were basically written in Excel using VLOOKUPs
Håkan Wolgé was later hired as lead software engineer to re-architect/re-write QlikView from the ground up as an in-memory application
Renamed as “QlikView” in 1996
IPO’ed on Nasdaq in 2010 under symbol “QLIK” and was 7th best IPO of 2010
Now has over 24,000 customers

How Traditional BI worksTraditional OLAP/cube technologies primarily provide the ability to drill up and down through “dimension” hierarchies, allowing the end-user to see pre-aggregated “measures”
Dimensions and measures must be know a prior any drill down activity
A data warehouse or data mart is usually required as a pre-requisite before OLAP cubes can be built
Detail record identification is very complex process
ETL is very slow to test, which in turn slows down development time
QlikView uses the word “associative” to distinguish itself from other BI vendors

Functionality of QlikView
QlikView is a business discovery platform –User driven BI supporting the creation and consumption of dynamic apps for analysing the information. It’s allow non technical users to explore visual views of information , through simple interaction such as clicks and taps and it has patented software engine dynamically calculates new views of information , instantly based on user selection
QlikView does with in-memory technology that really makes a difference.
Has an inference engine that maintains the associations in the data automatically.
Calculates aggregations on the fly, as needed, for a super-fast user experience.
Compresses data down to 10% of its original size to optimise the power of the processors
The Result - Less Maintenance and Faster Deployment

QV definition of licenses
Named CALNamed User CAL is assigned to a unique and identified user who may access as many QlikView documents as may reside on the server or server cluster to which the Named User CAL is assigned.
Document CAL A Document CAL is assigned to a unique and identified user who may access only the one QlikView document to which the Document CAL is assigned. Multiple Document CALs can be assigned to a particular user.
Session CALOne QlikView client to access as many QlikView documents as may reside on the server or server cluster to which the Session CAL is assigned for a minimum period of 15 minutes.
Usage CALUsage CAL allows any user, identified or anonymous/unidentified, to access only one QlikView document, residing on the server or server cluster to which the Usage CAL is assigned, from one client (for example, the AJAX client, QlikView Desktop, or the Internet Explorer plugin) for a time period of 60 minutes per 28-day period.

Qlik Competitor
Looking at competition, other vendors have greatly simplified the cube/OLAP approach, and can be considered somewhat Agile.Whereas while comparing to QlikView, they lack its patented “Associative” experience and compression abilities along with the QVP protocol (security)
Primarily below can be considered as near competitors of Qlikview:• Tableau• TIBCO SpotFire• SAP BO
