I’ve came across an excellent post by Boris Evelson on his blog: http://blogs.forrester.com/boris_evelson/10-03-31-i_forget_whats_in_memory (thanks to @vizubi) it’s an old one, but it makes perfectly clear what are the differences between the different in memory options. Evelson makes distinction between 5 types of in memory solutions, divides the solution providers over these 5 types and gives pro’s and cons for every option. Nice read!
In the same category: compare in-memory solutions is this post by Boris Evelson as well: http://blogs.forrester.com/boris_evelson/10-09-01-not_all_in_memory_analytics_tools_are_created_equal where Boris gives advice on how to compare in-memory solutions. Nice read as well, and nice comments from two Qlikview adepts

There’s a nice new marketing video on qlikview.com. It’s called “The Qlikview in-memory advantage“.
There’s just one thing they always seem to forget at Qlikview: to have such a nice way of ” analysing and visualising all your data” you DO NEED a solidly build and well architectured datawarehouse!

Last week I encountered a few problems with a QlikView app where I had to implement a section access component. The section access needed to fetch the users and roles from an Oracle Database.
Reading through the QlikView Docs I found the chapter about security, explaining an example how to implement it but unfortunately the QlikView Docs aren’t so clear and I had to search through the QlikView forum to find people with similar issues. Read more of this article »

There’s an excellent post by Curt Monash on the underlying technology of Qlikview. Nothing really new, but a very nice summary of how it works, with comments from (among others) TDWI’s Wayne Eckerson and Håkan Wolgé (the author of qlikview 1.0 code and still chief architect at Qliktech).
One thing really new to me was the following part and I quote: Read more of this article »

There’s a press release on EarthPublisher.com about a new technology partner for Qliktech. They start working together with Human Inference. Human Inference is a Dutch company and is the European market leader in data quality solutions. They focus on high quality solutions developed for large databases and critical systems. The solutions are based on natural language processing. You can read their corporate factsheet here. You can read the press release here (in Dutch).
I consider this as a little bit strange partnership. I thought Human Inference works on your source systems, like your main CRM system and would love to hear how this works in conjunction with qlikview. Any thoughts?

The high level timeline for releasing QlikView 10 is as follows
- Beta1 is now available for internal use
- April 22 we will make Beta2 available for partners
- June 9 we will make a Release Candidate (RC) available to partners and customers
- October 6 QlikView 10 will be GA.
Our goal is to provide a significant amount of time for QlikView to be in the hands of our employees, partners, and customers prior to going GA. This will allow everyone to contribute to testing real life usage, validating new features, and learning about the new capabilities before we launch the new version. QlikView 9 had 11 weeks of beta period, QlikView 10 has 29 weeks. We will be providing lots of training materials and opportunities for everyone to provide feedback, so please take responsibility to do so.

…lately on this blog. I’m having little or no inspiration to write qlikview related blogposts. That doesn’t mean there isn’t interesting news about qlikview or qliktech. I’ll aggregate some recent news in this post. If you feel like you should be writing on this blog or if you feel like you need a how to or need an opinion on anything qlikview related please feel free to leave a comment
Qliktech registered for IPO. Official press release is here, first thoughts are here and here by the QVapps blog, and an article in the Seattle times. Qliktech is looking to raise a $100 million dollar to pay of some debts ($7 mio) and the rest is for “general corporate purposes”.
There is this announcement that qliktech will largely drop its support for their java client in version 10 that will be generally available in October 2010 (let me guess: 10-10-10?). They will focus on their AJAX client.
First beta release of version 10 is out, we are trying to get into the qv10 beta program to keep you updated!

Gilles
