QlikView for iPhone’s Multi-Touch, GPS-Enabled
Functionality Fills Gap Left by Oracle, IBM and SAP
QlikTech, the world’s fastest-growing Business
Intelligence (BI) company, today
announced the immediate availability of QlikView for iPhone, the very
first truly interactive mobile BI app built specifically for the iPhone.
Unlike Oracle’s mobile BI offering that features a rigid interface and
limited functionality, QlikView for iPhone fully leverages iPhone’s
Multi-Touch and GPS features to deliver QlikView’s renowned,
industry-defining interactive capabilities. The result is a groundbreaking
app that puts the power of sophisticated, real-time business answers in
the hands of mobile users worldwide. It can be downloaded for free at http://www.apple.com/iphone/appstore.

Mobile
professionals need access to comprehensive, real-time information,
not static reports that lack detail from offerings like Oracle’s
mobile BI tool. With QlikView for iPhone, salespeople can drill
deep into accounts and get granular, up-to-the minute answers and
analysis that help them do their job better. From specific
customer or product data, down to a single SKU or employee name,
QlikView for iPhone gets users what they need, the moment they need
it.
“We comprehensively
surveyed the BI mobile landscape and it was clear all previous
attempts at addressing user needs failed miserably,” said
Anthony Deighton, SVP Product, QlikTech.
“Just posting a static report on a mobile screen, as
Oracle’s solution does, may be marginally helpful, but creates a
tremendously frustrating user experience, leaving no opportunity
to interact with the data. With QlikView for iPhone, users get a
mobile view of a relevant data subset, as well as access to the
specific answers they seek. This interactive dynamic is the only
way to truly fulfil the promise of mobile BI.” |
The Only
Mobile
BI Tool with Multi-Touch, Cover Flow and GPS Integration
QlikView for iPhone takes
full advantage of the iPhone’s native interface. The entire application
is multi-touch driven with complete implementation of the iPhone finger
gestures users are accustomed to. Simple finger-swipes and finger-pinches
enable users to select, interact and drill down into data. And to clear
selections, all users have to do is shake the device. Apple’s popular
3-D Cover Flow feature is also enabled, allowing users to “flip”
through analyses in the same way they would through album covers and
artists in iTunes. Real-time data changes are also instantly reflected in
every Cover Flow chart.
In addition, QlikView for iPhone uses GPS to create location-aware
reports. For instance, road warriors can use QlikView for iPhone to
automatically pull up a data view of a specific supplier, branch office or
distributor as they arrive for any site-related visit. And when sales
professionals need to get up to speed on an account before a meeting, they
no longer have to start from a list of the 250 accounts in the region.
Instead, the iPhone will know where they are located and get swift answers
for the account they are walking into.
The First App to Deliver on the Promise of
Mobile
BI
As the worlds of serious
business applications and personal productivity devices merge, QlikView
for iPhone is a perfect crossover. QlikView for iPhone is a powerful go-to
source for the Google generation—people who want and expect their
business answers to always be within arm’s reach.
“QlikView for iPhone
tears down the boundaries between mobile and desktop BI,” said Deighton.
“For years, mobile users have imagined having the ability to get
up-to-the-minute data on a company’s sales, inventory or finances.
QlikView for iPhone makes this a reality. Once users get a taste of
real-time access to valid, specific business answers, there’s no going
back.”
