It enables business users to assemble datafrom multiple sources, explore it, make discoveries, and uncoverinsights that enable them to solve business problems in new ways.QlikView works the way the mind works.

They forge new paths to insight and decision.QlikView is a single product that has multiple components for useby people in various roles: business users, business analysts /BI application developers, and IT professionals.The QlikView Business Discovery PlatformIT PROQlikViewMgmt.Console(part ofQVS)BUSINESSANALYST /DEVELOPERWeb andmobileclientsQlikViewDesktop In-memoryQlikView engineServer Client / server(QVS)communicationQlikViewPublisherDATA SOURCESqlikview.comBUSINESS USERAccessPoint(part of QVS) QlikViewportal Data reload DocumentdistributionAsk your own questions andformulate your own insights in asimple and straightforward way.

AN ASSOCIATIVEUSER EXPERIENCEGain unexpected insightsand make discoveries byclearly seeing how data isassociated. See not only whatdata is associated — but whatdata is not related. Conductdirect and indirect searchesacross all data anywhere inthe app — globally or within asingle field. Make a selectionand instantly see all fieldsfilter themselves based onyour selection. The datarelated to your selectionis highlighted in whitewhile unrelated data ishighlighted in gray.QLIKVIEW FOR BUSINESS USERSQlikView business users primarily interact with the QlikView browserand mobile clients — though they can also use QlikView Desktop.QLIKVIEW BROWSER CLIENTSQlikView users access apps running on QlikView Server via a browserindependent, download-free Ajax client or a Microsoft Internet Explorerplug-in. With QlikView browser clients, business users experience the sametrue Business Discovery that they get with QlikView Desktop. They cansee in an instant what data is related to their selections—and what data isnot associated. They can collaborate with others and preserve a record ofdecisions with in-app annotations. They conduct direct and indirectsearches — globally or within a field.With QlikView browser clients, users can ask a business question, createa chart to find the answer, make selections to see associations, and thenchange the chart or create a new one instantaneously. They can invite othersto a collaborative session, during which all participants can share selectionsand test scenarios to better uncover insights and solve problems.Because users are working against the server image of a QlikView app, ratherthan downloading an app to their local machine, all are working with the sameapp and data. Any modifications a user makes to that document (e.g., a newgraph or chart) can be shared with others, but are still tied to the server image— not a local image of the document.QLIKVIEW ON MOBILEMobile Business Discovery enables organizations to incorporate the physicalenvironment into decision-making — to get insight “on location.” QlikView onmobile delivers true Business Discovery and the full power of QlikView to themobile device — including the associative experience, interactive analysis,access to live data, and search.At no additional license cost, QlikView 11 delivers full mobile functionalityfor iPad and Android tablets and small-screen devices such as Apple iPhoneand Android phones. Using a browser-based, build once / deploy anywhereapproach, QlikView on mobile takes full advantage of native mobile gesturesand features while providing centralized security, scalability, and manageability.The QlikView Product Family Page 2
