“You cannot be the same, think the same and act the same if you hope to be successful in a world that does not remain the same.” This sentence by John C. Maxwell is so relevant to rapidly changing cloud hosting technology. Businesses understand the added value and are looking at cloud technologies to handle both operational and analytical workloads.
Most of us know the story of “The Tortoise and the Hare.” It is one of Aesop’s classic fables in which a speedy, overconfident hare becomes complacent and realizes, all too late, that the tortoise, although outmatched, has managed to beat him in a race. It teaches us lessons about overconfidence and perseverance and has caused phrases like “slow and steady wins the race” to creep into our everyday language.
Today’s an exciting day in the world of data warehousing and analytics for enterprises that want to get more insight from their SAP data. Let’s face it – basically every enterprise on the planet that has SAP wants more value from their platform and data.
In these uncertain times of the COVID-19 crisis, one thing is certain – data is key to decision making, now more than ever. And, the need for speed in getting access to data as it changes has only accelerated. It’s no wonder, then, that organisations are looking to technologies that help solve the problem of streaming data continuously, so they can run their businesses in real-time.
Research on COVID-19 is being produced at an accelerating rate, and machine intelligence could be crucial in helping the medical community find key information and insights. When I came across the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19), it contained about 57,000 scholarly articles. Just one month later, it has over 158,000 articles. If the clues to fighting COVID-19 lie in this vast repository of knowledge, how can Qlik help?
It’s time to get back to my favorite topic in visualization – how to best use color. I’ve written about it before in two of my previous posts, which you can read by clicking here and here. But, for this post, I’m going to go into a bit more detail on some tips and tricks that you can use.
If “necessity is the mother of invention,” COVID-19 forced many businesses around the world to rethink their digital transformation, data and analytics strategies. Out of every crisis, there will be opportunities. Although the current pandemic has certainly acted as a black swan event in some cases impeding progress, it has, nonetheless, accelerated several of the trends already pushing toward a digital future.
Qlik is excited to announce the June 2020 product release, furthering our leadership in augmented intelligence, best-in-class visualization and platform extensibility.
The ingredients of competitive advantage and differentiation tend to evolve over time. Throughout history they have included access to capital, raw materials, labor; they have been based on economies of scale and economies of scope. At IDC, it is our contention that the new basis for differentiation will be economies of intelligence.
We all know visualization alone is not enough in the world of modern BI. And, when Qlik Sense was introduced, we focused on building a world-class platform, driven by our associative engine, open APIs and modern architecture. Our vision was to drive all the major analytics use cases, and support a lightning fast pace of innovation for the next decade and beyond.
