Across industry sectors, one of many reasons our customers and partners use QlikView is to become more customer-centric. Although the expression “customer-centric” has become almost cliché, it communicates a critical message that can differ in meaning from one type of business to another. Does “Simplifying Analysis for Everyone” make QlikTech customer-centric? In a word, yes, but the concept runs much deeper than QlikView’s functionality, licensing, implementation and support services.

In today’s data-driven business world, having the right information creates competitive differentiators. Without access to information and the resulting visibility into markets, customers and business performance, people lack the power to do their jobs as well as they could. What QlikView does is bring that power back to YOU, our customer, the QlikView user. Fundamentally, QlikTech’s success story is the story of YOU—your workplace experience before and after using QlikView. In this issue of QlikNews, in addition to the many new features and updates for QlikTech customers and partners, we introduce how “the story of YOU” works for everyone within our worldwide QlikCommunity.

Best,
Lars Björk
