Qlik Sense Cloud Business helps teams collaborate on analytics in the cloud

Qlik, a visual analytics provider, has launched Qlik Sense Cloud Business, a software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based visual analytics solution for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs), workgroups, and teams to create, manage, and share analytics in the cloud. Users can combine multiple data sets from multiple sources to create rich, interactive visualisations in app form that show the whole story in the data.

Powered by the patented QIX Associative Indexing Engine, Qlik Sense Cloud Business lowers the analytics barrier to entry with a flexible, low-cost monthly subscription and streamlined administration. The completely web-based experience allows users of all technical skills to get started instantly.

“Business groups are increasingly distributed, with members in different geographies and environments. The ability to have a consistent experience on any device, anywhere in the world ensures teams can work together quickly and seamlessly. Evolving requirements are driving the replacement of a monolithic stack solution with Qlik, a microservices platform designed for the cloud,” said Anthony Deighton, Qlik CTO and SVP of Products.

“We built the category for user-driven, self-service business intelligence (BI) and now we continue to expand the market by creating an extensible, cloud-first platform that companies of all sizes can consider the centrepiece of their analytics strategy.”

With its drag-and-drop interface and visualisation experience in a HTML5 client, Qlik Sense Cloud Business extends analysis on-the-go to any device, regardless of size. As it is web-based, data and applications are easily available and accessible. One-click sharing makes it easy to share apps and insights – both inside and outside of the organisation. The 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.

“I have worked with other products, such as Microsoft Power BI and Tableau. Compared to competitors, Qlik Sense Cloud Business is very advanced and user friendly,” said Lakshmikandh Karthikeyan*, Senior Consultant at Corporater, a performance management solutions provider with offices in India and the UAE.

Qlik Sense Cloud Business includes governance features for groups to deploy and manage a series of analytical apps:

· A group work area to collaboratively create, edit, and access group content and apps.

· Group data space to contribute data that contains reusable and consistent definitions.

· Group shared networks to manage multiple shared networks or streams that users may be invited to follow, enabling control for access privileges.
