This concludes our first chapter. In this chapter, we've learned what QlikView is and how it differs from traditional BI solutions. We've also seen how QlikView works from the perspective of a business user and have had a peek at the various technical components that QlikView consists of. We concluded this chapter with an introduction to Sara and her team, and their task—to investigate if expanding to the US market might help the struggling HighCloud Airlines make a recovery.
To sum it all up, in this chapter, we have learned:
- QlikView is a BI solution that is different from traditional BI solutions because of its associative user experience, its underlying technology, and its typical bottom-up adoption path
- How to make sense of our data by selecting, filtering, searching, bookmarking, cycling, and drilling
- How the technology behind QlikView works, how it is deployed, and the various ways in which applications can be consumed
- What HighCloud's current problems are and how Sara and her team hope to help resolve them using QlikView
Now that we've been introduced to QlikView, in the next chapter we will get hands-on and will develop a small proof of concept document.
