News - 10 Jun: QlikTech delivers BI via the cloud

QlikTech delivers business intelligence via the cloud - QlikView 9 available using on-demand model

Business intelligence (BI) firm QlikTech has launched a new version of its flagship QlikView product that is available immediately and can be delivered via the cloud.

QlikView 9 offers enhanced enterprise manageability, performance and scalability with an emphasis on real-time data, according to the firm.

The company was recognised by Gartner as the fastest growing BI vendor, in a market dominated by large players such as Business Objects, SAS and Cognos.

QlikTech lacks some of the benefits offered by the big vendors, but its fast growth is down to the amount it can spend on research and development owing to a large venture capitalist backing. The software also has a particularly user-friendly interface that can be demonstrated on the spot in sales meetings.

Anthony Deighton, product vice president at QlikTech, claimed that QlikView 9 will provide users with a business intelligence platform that can be accessed anywhere. Even employees at companies that are not paying customers of QlikTech will be able to use a limited version of the tool, which Deighton described as "a first for the BI industry".
