“QlikView has been one of the most well received product extensions that we have offered. It is helping our efforts to sell to new customers and it is motivating more customers in our base to upgrade. From a solution provider’s perspective, QlikView is very good for business.” Ric Sharp, Business Development Manager, SoftBrands EMEA |
QlikTech understands that every partner needs to follow its own business vision. This is especially true for an OEM partner seeking to add analytical reporting to an existing product or service, or go to market with a new, more robust offering.
Through the Qonnect Program, an Independent Software Vendor (ISV), Software as a Service (SaaS) business, or online Content Provider can have their product or service “Powered by QlikView,” using integration and licensing strategies that are fully aligned with their market objectives.
Qonnect enables OEM partners to offer their customers powerful, pre-packaged, analytical reporting customized for their product or service. OEM customers gain capabilities to use offerings more effectively, realize higher return on investment, and increase perceptions of value in the business relationship—all of which translates to higher customer satisfaction.
An OEM can bundle QlikView in-memory analysis into their solutions, which means a pre-packaged Powered by QlikView application can always be part of their solutions on a restricted license. Or, an OEM can choose to offer QlikView as an add-on, which means a pre-packaged Powered by QlikView application can be marketed as an optional module to their solutions on a restricted license.
When Powered by QlikView, an OEM partner expands their solution’s market differentiators, sells into and grows an established customer base, and uses product development skill sets already in place.
For more information on becoming an OEM partner, contact Mats Gullberg, Director of Global OEM Channel at mats.gullberg@qliktech.com or your local QlikTech partner manager.
