NOAD for
QlikView! Recently announced, QlikView has formed a new partnership with NOAD, a leading provider of high-performance, enterprise platform management software for BI applications. The announcement states that NOAD's "EQM product suite provides customers with solutions to cost effectively control change management, automate and monitor business intelligence life cycle processes, conserve resources and control costs on an enterprise scale". This is great news as the existing Qlikview product suite does not lend itself to easily managing change, especially in a multi-developer environment. Tracking changes with ease has always been on my Qlikview wish list. Although the press release does not refer to it, I am hoping that NOAD for QlikView product will contain a module for merging versions of Qlikview documents. From a development perspective there are not many weaknesses to be found in the existing Qlikview suite but the absence of a merge facility has been an inconvenience for my colleagues and I over the years.
This partnership is an excellent move 
for Qliktech as NOAD for QlikView will also provide complete transparency of the BI life cycle. With ever increasing regulation, Qliktech now have an offering that enables blue chip organizations to remain compliant on an enterprise scale. BI projects and processes can be defined, controlled, monitored and audited through all phases and the deployment facility will assist in alleviating security concerns. Surely such additions to the Qlikview suite can only strengthen the phenomenal growth of the product. All the more reason to understand how much your business intelligence tool is costing you and understand how in-memory technology has found its way to the front of the line with business intelligence products. I wait in anticipation for the release of Qlikview 10 and cannot wait to see the latest batch of new features and functionality. Previous new releases of Qlikview have always invigorated my passion for the product and I am sure that NOAD for Qlikview and QlikView 10 will follow suit.
