Qlik Announces Qlik Sense Cloud Business SaaS Offering
QONNECTIONS 2016--Today at its Qonnections 2016 customer and
partner event, Qlik®
(NASDAQ: QLIK), a leader in visual analytics, announced it is expanding
its Qlik
Sense® Cloud offerings with the introduction of Qlik
Sense® Cloud Business. Qlik Sense Cloud Business enables anyone -
from small and medium-sized businesses to individuals and workgroups
within an enterprise - to create, manage, and collaborate with visual
analytics in the simplicity of the cloud. It is powered by the patented
QIX Associative Indexing Engine and provides the security, scalability,
and performance of the industry-proven Qlik visual analytics platform.
By lowering the barrier to entry and providing a business-ready,
subscription-based cloud offering, customers can benefit from Qlik Sense
Cloud Business immediately with no capital costs.
Pure Cloud-Based Solution Fosters Data-Driven Insights
With its drag-and-drop interface and cutting-edge visualization and
associative experience in a responsive, HTML5 client, Qlik Sense Cloud
Business extends the power of data-driven insights to users and groups
throughout an organization. Its simple and intuitive design enables
users of all technical skill levels to quickly and easily create,
manage, and collaborate with meaningful analytic apps. Responsive design
capabilities offer analysis on-the-go from any device - regardless of
device size - including touch, drill, and interact features, with no
additional development necessary. In addition, data management
capabilities empower users to combine data from diverse sources,
including in the cloud, uploaded from on-premise, and third-party apps,
to quickly create rich, interactive apps. This user experience is
underpinned by Qlik's Associative Model, which enables users to probe
all the possible associations that exist across all of their data.
Simple, Secure, and Governed Collaboration Delivers More Value Faster
Current Qlik Sense Cloud Basic and Plus offerings provide individuals
with all the advantages of Qlik Sense combined with the ability to
easily share analysis and insights. Qlik Sense Cloud Business adds
additional security and governance features, with a focus on empowering
groups of people within an organization to deploy and manage a series of
analytical apps. For example, Qlik Sense Cloud Business includes:
-
A group work area allowing users to collaboratively create,
edit, and access group content and apps, enhancing collaboration
without limiting flexibility.
-
Group data space enabling all users to contribute data that
contains reusable and consistent definitions, expediting the process
of creating new apps and eliminating the guesswork in maintaining apps
as business requirements evolve over time.
-
Group shared networks that offers multiple shared networks or
streams that users may be invited to follow, enabling control for
which users have access to which apps.
This cloud-based model allows organizations to add new users and apps as
requirements change, with the elasticity to support current and future
neds. Qlik Sense Cloud Business follows industry-leading best practices
to meets stringent security standards, with all upgrades and
infrastructure needs managed by Qlik.
Expands Qlik's Cloud Offerings for Creation, Management, and Sharing
of Apps
In addition to Qlik Sense Cloud Business, the following Qlik
Sense® Cloud offerings are currently available:
-
Qlik
Sense Cloud Basic: Allows users to share fully interactive
Qlik Sense apps with up to five individuals for free without the need
for them to download Qlik Sense themselves. This further expands the
audience being introduced to the discoveries that can be made in Qlik
Sense.
-
Qlik
Sense Cloud Plus: Enables users to share with an unlimited
number of other users for a monthly fee of $20(US) per month. The Qlik®
DataMarket Essentials package, which includes third party
currency, weather, social, and economic data, is also included to
further enhance analysis. This means that only one user will need to
subscribe to Qlik Sense Cloud Plus to share with as many other users
as desired. All apps work on any device, including mobile devices,
with the responsive design native to Qlik Sense smart visualizations.
Several cloud-based, value-add services are also currently available:
-
Qlik
DataMarket: Users can access a comprehensive library of
external data directly within Qlik Sense and QlikView to allow users
to augment and cross reference their internal data to gain context and
drive deeper insights. No other vendor in the business intelligence
market delivers this type of data library that encompasses both free
and paid data sources available via cloud-based data services. Qlik
DataMarket is available to all versions of Qlik Sense, both
cloud-based and on-premise.
-
Qlik
Sense Charts: Enables non-technical users to embed interactive
Qlik Sense visualizations on any public website or blog and share via
social media for free. Readers are able to view an optimized chart
regardless of device size due to Qlik's responsive design and can
filter data for further insight. Qlik Sense Charts is included with
all Qlik Sense Cloud offerings.
"Our cloud strategy encompasses more than just an infrastructure or
Software-as-a-Service play," said Anthony Deighton, Qlik CTO and SVP of
Products. "At Qlik we see an exciting opportunity for cloud-based
value-added services to optimize the visual analytics experience.
Likewise, because people do not make decisions alone, sharing in the
cloud will always be an important part of our collaboration strategy."

Sense Cloud Plus are available today. Qlik Sense Cloud Business will be
available in the second half of 2016.
