Data management – friend or foe? QlikView business intelligence can make data your best friend.

Does your business struggle to find accurate real-time business decision answers? When it comes time to asking questions about your business are you able to find the answers? Does your finance team manually re-key data into spreadsheet which is time consuming and costly? Does this also lead to errors in data through human error?

The flexibility of the new generation of business intelligence (BI) from QlikView means that your data works for you, rather than the other way around.

The past

Previously Managers and Owners would receive a hard copy report providing them with an overview of the business. If they wanted to find out further information or ask their own questions the process was difficult and labourious. They were the “End Users”, meaning that by the time the information got to them, it was the end of the line.

The current

QlikView has done away with End Users, instead embracing Business Users. This is a far more flexible approach to the management of data and allows staff to determine what is relevant.

Any member of management has the ability to use QlikView to find out answers that are relevant to them. For the CFO this could be the financial board pack for the Warehouse Manager indentifying the correct levels of inventory to hold or slow moving  inventory items.

By allowing staff to find the answers they want, your business will be in a better position to decide if the data you are collecting is necessary. This type approach to BI means that a QlikView software solution is suitable for any type of business.
