QlikView Publisher Improves Business Analysis by Enhancing Accessibility, Security and Distribution of Mission-Critical Information

QlikTech has unveiled the latest release of QlikView Publisher, a key component for managing enterprise deployments of QlikView, the firm's innovative business analysis application. QlikView Publisher facilitates large-scale deployments of QlikView by automating the processes by which QlikView applications are updated, distributed and secured. With QlikView Publisher, QlikView customers can ensure that large-scale QlikView deployments are managed and secured seamlessly without requiring additional IT resources.

QlikView simplifies analysis for everyone by enabling instant, in-memory manipulation of massive datasets on low-cost hardware, allowing affordable widespread deployment of sophisticated analytic applications in days. QlikView organisations can gain business value quickly as they develop, modify, deploy, and - most importantly - use business intelligence applications. QlikView Publisher allows administrators to automate the management of multiple QlikView applications, distributed to many end users. Controlling the scheduling of data updates for each application, Publisher manages access controls, allowing for the customisation of specific applications for hundreds of distinct users, so that each user receives a tailored version of the application with the data appropriate to that user. QlikViews are then distributed to end users through email, or through the QlikView AccessPoint web portal. Security is integrated through Microsoft Windows NT4 or Microsoft Active Directory directory service. QlikView Publisher also allows for full utilisation of the alerting features in QlikView 7.2.

"At QlikTech we are focused on simplifying analysis for everyone," said Anthony Deighton, vice president of marketing for QlikTech. "QlikView Publisher makes analysis simple by bringing enterprise class manageability to the QlikView analysis environment. With QlikView Publisher each user gets their personalised QlikView analysis, quickly, simply, and automatically, allowing organisations to realise their business goals of empowering users with information."

Highlights of QlikView Publisher version 3.3 include:

• Massive Scale Analysis: QlikView Publisher supports the creation and management of even the largest QlikView analysis, potentially with over a billion records. Publisher supports both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platform environments allowing the creation and management of massive scale analysis.



• Automated Application Management: Publisher automates the process of scheduling data updates, ensuring that users always have the most current data at their fingertips.



• Data Security Control: QlikView Publisher ensures that users have access to documents with the data they need to do their jobs without compromising security concerns. Based on criteria set by an administrator, QlikView Publisher automatically makes data-driven reductions of QlikView documents and then distributes the appropriate, finalised documents to all relevant users. This ensures widespread data distribution while maintaining tight access control.



• Single Point of Access: Users have access to QlikView applications through the QlikView AccessPoint Web portal. From this portal, updated applications are available for online analysis through the QlikView Analyzer or downloadable for offline analysis. The QlikView AccessPoint supports the display and organisation of QlikView applications by an administrator-set list of metadata. By using the AccessPoint, organisations can create a secure location where users have access to a personalized list of business analysis applications.



• Secure Access to Business Analysis: QlikView Publisher integrates directly with an organisation's existing security model to control user access rights making administration and distribution of business analysis both secure and efficient. With QlikView Publisher it is easy to create routines that guarantee the quality, timeliness, and accuracy of an organization's decision support.

QlikTech is leading a new class of easy-to-use, fast and flexible business analysis solutions that empower individuals to improve corporate performance and drive innovation. QlikTech's flagship product, QlikView 7.2, extends the company's vision of simplifying business analysis, offering solutions that can be deployed in days, where users can be trained in minutes, and where end-users have the freedom to be more creative in their analyses.
