QlikView.Next to be available in 2014

by

Qlik have just announced the company’s strategic roadmap to once again disrupt the BI industry with its next-generation platform to enable better decision making.

QlikView.Next is designed to expand on Qlik’s focus of filling the gap between visualization or dashboard solutions and complex BI platforms tied to report-centric ways of doing business.

Fundamental to making next-generation BI accessible and useful for a broad range of users is QlikView’s Natural Analytics™ approach, which taps into the natural human ability to process complex information. It supports the way human curiosity naturally searches, filters, questions, and finds associations in data to find meaning in information – more easily revealing insights and enabling decisions in the process.

Natural Analytics Taps into Human Instinct for Processing Information

QlikView.Next’s key value as an alternative BI platform is in its use of Natural Analytics which places data into the natural flow of how people think as they make decisions. Natural Analytics enables anyone to explore complex data, making and sharing discoveries using natural human abilities. It enables people to:

  • Discover through Association & Comparison
  • Decide through Collaboration & Data Dialogs™
  • Do through Persuasion & Action
