AUTOMOTIVE

"What we are offering is essentially setting new rules for SAP Business Intelligence," says Markus Roithmeier, General Manager, QlikTech Germany and Director of QlikTech's SAP Competence Center. "Providing deep and powerful analysis and reporting capabilities to SAP users no longer has to be a costly, time-consuming and elusive goal. As QlikView for SAP can be deployed in a matter of days, regardless of if the customer has SAP BW or not, we are providing a very compelling alternative to existing solutions." By implementing QlikView for SAP, companies running R/3 software get the benefits of interactive, multi-dimensional analysis and reporting at a fraction of the time, cost, and ongoing maintenance required for installing and maintaining a traditional data warehouse and OLAP-based BI solution. Businesses in Germany, such as Entsorgungsbetriebe Essen GmbH, a leading German waste management company, are already seeing the power and benefits of QlikView for SAP R/3. "Thanks to QlikTech, we didn't have to invest in an expensive data warehouse to gain access to our SAP data," said Jörg Rogalla, SAP Administrator for Entsorgungsbetriebe Essen. "With QlikView we can analyse our entire order process - from order entry to invoicing - quickly, accurately, and efficiently. We are responding to customer inquiries with much more flexibility and speed than before." To shorten implementation times and add further value, QlikTech also offers a set of pre-built analytical templates for Financial and Sales Performance analysis tailored for SAP's Finance (FI), Controlling (CO), and Sales and Distribution (SD) modules. QlikView for SAP can also be very easily developed with other SAP modules like MM, PM, ISU, etc, providing business users with a complete view of their enterprise data. Powered by QlikTech's patented Associative Query Logic (AQL(TM)) technology, QlikView's innovative architecture eliminates the costly and time consuming process of designing, developing and maintaining OLAP cubes and, in most cases, also the need to build and maintain separate data warehouses. This enables companies to develop and deploy fully functional business intelligence and performance management applications in days rather than the customary weeks or months, resulting in greater flexibility, faster ROI, and lower cost of ownership for enterprises.
