Fifty Organisations in 18 Countries Using QlikView Through Change Their World Grant Program

QlikView Business Discovery platform empowers humanitarian organizations to deliver more efficient, effective outcomes in serving the world’s most vulnerable people

Radnor, PA - 2 May 2012

QlikTech, (NASDAQ: QLIK) a leader in Business Discovery – user-driven Business Intelligence (BI), today announced that its global corporate social responsibility program, Change Their World, has awarded 50 grants in 18 countries on 6 continents since launching in February 2010. Nonprofit organizations can apply for a QlikView Change Their World grant to receive free QlikView licenses, deployment and training to help them to gain visibility into data sources that can accelerate outcomes, connect donors with recipients, and make their good work better. Change Their World’s growth proves that QlikView is opening up infinite possibilities for advancing causes for the greater good.

Humanitarian and community-based grant recipients range from those that:

• Support those impacted by AIDS: HopeHIV (UK) and Star for Life (Africa)
• Help the poor: Christian Revival Centre (Uganda), World Vision (in APAC and US), and Caritas Spain
• Promote and defend children’s rights: Plan International Spain and Plan Norge (Norway)
• Empower women and girls in Africa: Zabuntu Zambia
• Provide community services: Darussafaka Cemiyeti (services for orphans in Turkey), Handicap International (services for the disabled in Germany), SHEKEL (special needs services in Israel), Sunshine Inc (services for disadvantaged and special needs children in US), and Haus der Barmherzigkeit (care for the elderly in Germany)
• Provide emergency support: Huntingdon County Emergency Management Agency (US) and Swedish Sea Rescue

“We are thrilled with the momentum of our Change Their World grant program,” said Lars Björk, CEO at QlikTech. "In tandem with an overwhelming response from QlikTech partners and employees, we have created a powerful community of giving that is empowering organizations at the forefront of charitable causes with an effective solution that allows them to focus on and carry out their good work."

Additional organizations that are leveraging QlikView grants include:

• Doctors Without Borders (Sweden) is an international humanitarian medical organization with the mission to save lives and alleviate suffering. Doctors Without Borders is using QlikView to gain more information and effectively communicate with their target donor segments. The fundraising team has been able to track the results of campaigns and dig deeper into donors – from response rates to lifetime value of individual donors. The organization’s most valuable use of QlikView has been to visualize a five-year perspective, where they can compare the past to the future to more strategically make campaign decisions.
• KIPP New Orleans, the Knowledge Is Power Program, (USA) is a national network of free open-enrollment college preparatory schools dedicated to preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and life. Recognizing the vast amounts of data in the education world, KIPP uses QlikView to enable teachers to better track students’ progress. KIPP New Orleans deployed QlikView to over 190 teachers and found the benefits overwhelming. Teachers are now able to input data about each student classroom performance, analyze it, and then quickly act on it as necessary whether that is changing curriculum or flagging an important need to parents.
• HOPEHIV (United Kingdom) is helping some 50,000 vulnerable children and young people in 26 partner organizations across sub-Saharan Africa. Through its use of QlikView, HOPEHIV is starting to gauge how effective and efficient its fundraising strategies are to make better decisions about how to allocate critical funds.
• The Shift Project (France), a think tank centered on climate change and energy issues, required a tool that allowed users to not only analyze but visualize global energy statistics. The organization integrated QlikView into its data portal, the first of its kind to provide immediate and free access to a wide range of datasets. Saving over €30,000 euros (approximately $39,000 dollars), The Shift Project has been able to create a user-friendly source of improved data for the public and has also begun to implement QlikView in human resources.
• The Philadelphia Youth Network (USA) is a workforce development organization for local youth. PYN deployed QlikView to support its finance, workforce development, student payroll, and student activities departments. In employment costs alone PYN has been able to save to $30,000-$75,000 a year. PYN plans to enable its partner network to view external dashboards and expand its use into other municipalities.
• AIDS Accountability International (Sweden) holds its stakeholder’s accountable through rating tools to increase transparency and empower advocacy for an improved response to AIDS. AAI launched the “Workplace Scorecard” which enables companies to monitor and benchmark their HIV/AIDS strategies and activities in the workplace. QlikView is used to help aggregate the data collected from the various organizations, identifying which need to improve their initiatives. With QlikView, AAI plans to include a wider range of global health and human rights data sources, providing a more complete picture of the response to AIDS.

QlikView publishes its pricing model.

Radnor, PA - 21 February 2012

QlikTech (NASDAQ: QLIK), a leader in Business Discovery—user-driven Business Intelligence (BI), today announced it has made its price list public on its website. In a move that calls for other enterprise software and business intelligence vendors to follow suit, QlikTech is taking the mystery out of purchasing software.

In its recent report “Six Steps to Negotiating a Better BI Deal”¹ Forrester calls for buyers to, “Support the BI pricing revolution by demanding greater vendor transparency. Tell your BI vendors, that with everything else being equal, you’ll give preference to the vendors with more transparent pricing policies, such as published and freely available price lists.”

What the unveiled pricing illustrates is how models have evolved with the consumerization of IT. Traditional BI-created viewer license models are predicated on the fact that an elite few analysts were ‘power users’ worth the cost of a premium user seat. The people who need to use that data to make better decisions come at a less expensive viewer license cost based on the fact that they only need to see the dashboard or report. That philosophy is opposed to the current trend toward giving line of business users the opportunity to interact with their own data so they can be more effective in making discoveries for competitive advantage. QlikTech pricing reflects the fact that all users get a fully functioning QlikView app experience, not just a static view of the data. This allows every person in an organization to gain the functionality and performance for an experience that promotes frequent, pervasive use.

“With QlikTech’s history of putting the user experience first, it makes sense that their pricing model would reflect this,” says Wayne Eckerson, principal at BI Leader Consulting. “I hope other vendor’s follow QlikTech‘s lead and offer simplified and transparent pricing to make it easier for buyers.”

Healthcare Providers Score 91% for QlikView Business Discovery

Radnor, PA - 23 August 2011

QlikTech, (NASDAQ: QLIK) a leader in Business Discovery – user-driven Business Intelligence (BI), today announced it has received an overall performance score of 91 out of 100¹ in the “Business Intelligence: Making Cents of Performance” report by KLAS, a research firm specializing in monitoring and reporting healthcare vendor performance. Making its debut in this year’s report, QlikView’s overall score in the Enterprise Business Intelligence category is based on direct feedback from healthcare providers who have used QlikView and measures performance in areas such as product quality, implementation, and support.

Today, public and private healthcare providers struggle with operational visibility into information spread across their numerous clinical, financial, and resource planning systems. This inability to efficiently access, aggregate and explore data substantially contributes to mounting financial strains, patient wait times, resource constraints, and vulnerability to medical errors.

QlikView brings unprecedented simplicity, flexibility and scalability to such healthcare information challenges. According to KLAS, “QlikView customers particularly highlight the in-memory technology, noting near real-time data and faster dashboard creation, helping departments more quickly act on patient outcomes and financial performance.”² Through QlikView’s powerful, accessible Business Discovery solution, healthcare providers such as Centerstone Research Institute (CRI), Children’s Hospital of Atlanta (CHOA), and ThedaCare now have an integrated view of information, providing actionable insights from billions of records in seconds – improving healthcare delivery.

¹ Because KLAS defines QlikView as an “early-data solution” in the healthcare industry, it did not meet the minimum KLAS Konfidence levels to be ranked in this report. KLAS does not use the term Konfidence to apply to KLAS’ trust or reliance in the vendor’s product. A KLAS Konfidence level defines the range in the number of organizations that have evaluated a given vendor, product, or service.

²August 2011 “Business Intelligence: Making Cents of Performance,” © 2011 KLAS Enterprises, LLC. All rights reserved. www.KLASresearch.com.

According to a QlikView customer surveyed by KLAS,³ “We used QlikTech QlikView to build what our operational management uses to manage their business. It was unbelievable to provide all of that to them using QlikTech QlikView. I have never seen customers so appreciative before. They were just blown away that they could have that type of fingertip access in such a short time. They were used to making requests and getting the question back in a couple of weeks.”

“Healthcare providers are recognizing the need to create a culture of data driven decision-making with the ultimate goals of improving patient care and operational efficiency,” said Ellen Derrico, Director Global Market Development, Life Sciences & Healthcare at QlikTech. “Receiving such a high overall score in this KLAS report is a testament to the more than 500 healthcare providers worldwide that have turned to QlikView to overcome their information challenges and improve their organizational performance.”

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of March 1, 2011, QlikTech is issuing guidance for the first quarter and full year 2011 as follows:

First Quarter 2011: The company expects total revenue for the first quarter to be in the range of $52.0 million to $55.0 million, non-GAAP operating loss to be in the range of ($3.0) million to ($5.0) million and non-GAAP net loss per common share to be in the range of ($0.03) to ($0.05). QlikTech's expectations of non-GAAP net loss per common share for the first quarter exclude stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock transactions and assume a tax rate of 32% and weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 79 million.

Full Year 2011: The company expects 2011 total revenue to be in the range of $280.0 million to $290.0 million, non-GAAP operating income to be in the range of $42.0 million to $46.0 million and non-GAAP net income per diluted common share to be in the range of $0.32 to $0.35. QlikTech's expectations of non-GAAP net income per diluted common share for the full year exclude stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock transactions and assume a tax rate of 32% and weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 88 million.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

QlikTech will host a conference call on March 1, 2011, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) to discuss the company's fourth quarter and full year financial results and its business outlook. To access this call, dial 877-312-5507 (domestic) or 253-237-1134 (international). A replay of this conference call will be available until March 10, 2011 at 800-642-1687 (domestic) or 706-645-9291 (international). The replay pass code is 37568407. A live web cast of this conference call will also be available under the "Events & Presentations" section on the company's investor relations website at http://investor.qlikview.com/, and a replay will be archived on the website as well.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, QlikTech uses measures of non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP income per share. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP financial measure, is presented in the financial tables below under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP". QlikTech believes that the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release can assist investors in understanding and assessing QlikTech's on-going core operations and prospects for the future and provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing QlikTech's financial results with other companies in QlikTech's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

For the fourth quarter and full year 2010, non-GAAP operating income was determined by taking income from operations and adding back non-cash stock-based compensation expense, secondary offering expense and severance expense. Non-GAAP net income was determined by taking pretax income and adding back non-cash stock-based compensation expense, secondary expense and severance expense, and the result was tax affected at an estimated long-term effective tax rate of 28%. QlikTech excluded severance expense in its non-GAAP financial measures because it believes these costs are non-recurring and unrelated to its ongoing operating performance. QlikTech believes these adjustments provide useful information to both management and investors. For the fourth quarter and full year 2010, non-GAAP income per share was determined by taking non-GAAP net income and adjusting the weighted average outstanding common share calculations for the automatic conversion of the convertible preferred stock and issuance of common stock in connection with the company's initial public offering as if the offering had occurred at the beginning of each respective period.

This press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures under the heading "Business Outlook". These non-GAAP financial measures were determined by excluding stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock transactions and assuming an estimated long-term tax rate of 32%. We are unable to reconcile this non-GAAP guidance to GAAP because it is difficult to predict the future impact of these adjustments.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant elements that are required by GAAP to be recorded in QlikTech's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management of QlikTech presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of our historic non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided below.

QlikView used to track down alleged serial killer in Sweden

Radnor, PA - 15 February 2011

QlikTech, (NASDAQ:QLIK) a leader in Business Discovery – user-driven Business Intelligence, today announced that police analysts in Sweden have used QlikView to assist with a high profile crime case which lasted more than a year. QlikView has enabled the police to analyze data and reports that would have taken one police officer in excess of 43 years.

“Speed is of essence in any police work all over the world,” said Police analyst Berth Simonsson. “With this ground breaking technology, we can save lives, predict crime and target anti-social behavior.”

The crimes took place in the Swedish city of Malmö where people were shot at while they stood at bus stops, sat in their cars, and moved about indoors. One person has died and several others have been wounded in the attacks. The Skåne (southern Sweden) police department currently has approximately 100 QlikView applications, rolled out over the past 3 years. Malmö police analyst Berth Simonsson is part of a team of two who support 3,500 people in the police force, including about 50 analysts. Although the Malmö police department is a long-time customer of QlikView, it had never been used to analyze criminal activity.

For this case, the analysts loaded 10 years’ worth of crime reports (two million reports, comprising two billion rows of data) into an existing QlikView application. It took three hours to load the data and configure interactive reports, and then police analysts could immediately begin investigating the data. Because of the power of QlikView to analyze multiple data streams from any source, the police department was also able to add in and cross reference information from the “tip line” submitted from vigilant citizens.

Simonsson commented, "QlikView has been a labor-saving tool for the police. Police analysts ask questions and QlikView delivers answers instantly. Instead of going through the reports manually, we have been able to go through lots of information quickly to find the link that otherwise would have been hard to detect."

Nine months of work in one minute. Without QlikView, police analysts would have had to read every crime report manually to search for clues that might lead them to a suspect. Simonsson estimated that it would have taken three people three months to read through just one year of reports. With the additional 10 years' worth of historical data for this serial killer case, analyzing the entire set could have taken 43 years for one officer to analyze.

Instant analysis as powerful investigative tool. If police analysts have an idea about a case, they can use QlikView to test clues. They can search for any city, time of day, reported behavior, or other details. The QlikView associative experience enables them to explore trends in the data. If they find something of interest (e.g., red car or red truck), they can click a button to view the entire crime report immediately.

Expanding Use to Fight Crime
Now that the police analysts have experienced the power of QlikView for solving crimes, they are planning to use it more broadly. The department checks about 10,000 people every year in Skåne and they can use QlikView to analyze who has been checked and when. Applications for car theft and street crimes like assaults are in the plan and the department has goals of using QlikView to reduce crimes in specific areas.

Logica is a strong example of how QlikTech seeks to grow strategic relationships with leading IT companies to address the strong demand for non-traditional BI.”
