  • Metadata Management the Customer’s Way

    QlikView

    I recently worked with a large QlikView customer in the manufacturing industry about its QlikView Data Governance practices and challenges. The company uses QlikView company-wide to empower business users to ask and answer their own streams of questions. The company’s Business Intelligence Competency Center (BICC) has mandated that any new development must observe a set of policies.....

  • Metadata Management the Customer’s Way - Part 2: The Solution

    QlikView

    In my last article Metadata Management the Customer’s Way – Part 1, I covered a customer’s specific metadata challenge and proposed a QlikView Expressor (QVE) solution to address it. To summarize, our customer needed to know which existing QlikView applications (.qvw) were in compliance with the newly established rules appointed by the organization’s Business Intelligence Competency Center.

  • QlikView for IT

    IT departments are the vanguard of most enterprises. They provide essential technical “support” to ensure the success of an organization’s business plan.

    IT departments are the vanguard of most enterprises. They provide essential technical “support” to ensure the success of an organization’s business plan. Whether it is installing the latest teleconferencing equipment, on-boarding new employees or managing a Business Intelligence infrastructure, IT works with various systems that are relentlessly bombarded by ever-changing technology and varying usage patterns. In order to ensure successful IT operations, IT must monitor and analyze the data produced by these systems for their own daily actions and decisions. IT has a variety of information management tools at their disposal. However the reporting and analysis capabilities of these tools only begat new reports to figure out the next piece of information. QlikView for IT Management can simplify the process and even combine data from other systems to provide a holistic view that answers many random questions.

    ....QlikView is also unique in its own right. It provides a super fast and natural path for businesses to make decisions with its associative search capability; providing immediate insight in hours and days instead of weeks and months. Combine this with the contagious enthusiasm of the QlikTech staff and a lively QlikCommunity and you have what is uniquely known as "the QlikView way”.

    That being said - it should be of no surprise to also hear that QlikView Expressor provides Metadata Management - “the QlikView way”. In order to fully appreciate this idiom, we need to dissect the term “QlikView Metadata” into smaller digestible components.

  • Actionable Metadata – with QlikView Expressor

    QlikView

    It should come as no surprise that in order for raw data to break free from its deluge and become truly actionable - it must go through a number of steps before it is finally ready for decision makers. Steps can include various methods that access, combine and transform the data to make it meaningful for Business Discovery. Traditionally, methods that make data actionable can include a combination of data integration applications (ETL) and/or QlikView data-readiness procedures (QlikView…

    It should come as no surprise that in order for raw data to break free from its deluge and become truly actionable - it must go through a number of steps before it is finally ready for decision makers. Steps can include various methods that access, combine and transform the data to make it meaningful for Business Discovery. Traditionally, methods that make data actionable can include a combination of data integration applications (ETL) and/or QlikView data-readiness procedures (QlikView Script). These methods in turn prime QlikView’s powerful associative in memory data layer used by all QlikView deployments. QlikView and knowledge workers are then responsible to turn that actionable data into useful information to help drive decisions.

  • Let’s Not Argue Semantics – I Beg to Differ

    QlikView

    BI software providers use the descriptive form of the word “semantic” to describe components of their software. This comes in the form of what is usually known as a semantic layer or framework -- an architecture that describes and provides a consistent meaning of reusable business application attributes, objects, and data. “A layer of meaning,” as I like to call it. This layer tends to be strictly defined by BI administrators who should have familiarity with the business problems and strong…

    BI software providers use the descriptive form of the word “semantic” to describe components of their software. This comes in the form of what is usually known as a semantic layer or framework -- an architecture that describes and provides a consistent meaning of reusable business application attributes, objects, and data. “A layer of meaning,” as I like to call it. This layer tends to be strictly defined by BI administrators who should have familiarity with the business problems and strong collaboration with peers, rather than using loose interpretations.
