QlikTech Recognized as Only Champion in Aberdeen AXIS for BI/Performance Management

QlikTech, the world's fastest-growing Business Intelligence (BI) software vendor, today announced it is the sole "Champion" in the 2009 Aberdeen AXIS for BI/Performance Management report. A Champion is defined as a vendor that has demonstrated superior proficiency in delivering both real value as well as the ability to serve and support its installed user base. Twelve BI/Performance Management software solution providers, including Business Objects (SAP), Cognos (IBM), Hyperion (Oracle), and Microsoft, were evaluated based on their ability to provide customers with greater visibility into performance drivers and the ability to better manage decisions and actions that affect company performance

"Aberdeen's AXIS methodology places emphasis of appointing a Champion where it belongs -- in the hands of the people who actually use the product every day. We know that QlikView has generated a passionate user base, and Aberdeen's customer-centric perspective vividly demonstrates how quickly customers gain value from QlikView and how end users love using it," said Anthony Deighton, Senior Vice President of Products for QlikTech.

Deighton continues, "With QlikView's unique in-memory, associative analysis approach, we are moving the power of business intelligence from IT to those who are influencing performance management on a daily basis - from the board room to the shop floor. While traditional BI systems often require users to wait for IT to run operational reports, people using QlikView can make timely decisions on their own. It's this type of democratization of data that has built our loyal customer base to over 10,000 strong."
