Business Professionals Find Free Solution to Their Complex Data Issues with QlikView Personal Edition

LAS VEGAS, April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's business environment, access to information is crucial to fluid operations and maintaining a competitive advantage. Many driven, non-tech professionals are independently harnessing the power of business intelligence software to fuel their personal passion for their work. Employees at organizations such as a leading sports network in the U.S. and The Honeynet Project in Norway have turned to a free download of QlikView Personal Edition to easily build custom business intelligence applications in order to gain the answers they need.

QlikView Personal Edition is the first fully-functional, free downloadable business intelligence tool for personal use. Users can design applications for any environment, making it easy for anyone to develop their own QlikView applications with no previous training or technical expertise.  Attendees of the Gartner Business Intelligence Summit in Las Vegas this week can visit booth "F" to see the product in action before they download for their own use.

Sjur Usken of The Honeynet Project, an international, non-profit (501c3) research organization dedicated to improving the security of the internet at no cost to the public, used QlikView Personal Edition to develop a custom QlikView application in a matter of hours. The application allows Usken to put the large quantity of data that the organization has collected about malicious bots and malware on the web in context and quickly identify new types of attacks and their originating IP address.

"The QlikView application that I was able to build on my own has enabled me to quickly drill down through large amounts of data," said Usken. "QlikView not only helps to speed up my analysis work, but also helps me to support the Honeynet Project's mission of effectively improving the security of the Internet."

Brian Raab, a broadcast associate at a leading U.S. sports network has developed an application using QlikView Personal Edition that enables him to intuitively examine college football recruiting statistics delivering results to producers and sportscasters in the field. With QlikView Raab is able to easily view statistics about player strengths, rankings and school commitment decisions that were once housed on a large spreadsheet.

"QlikView has enabled me to easily manipulate and analyze in a matter of seconds an amount of data that once could take hours," said Raab. "With QlikView, our producers and analysts in the field get access to instant statistical answers that help to add important color to game broadcasts which can give them an edge on the competition."
