QlikTech recently announced that DVL, a leading provider of solutions for 7 x 24 mission-critical data centers, reduced reporting time by 80 hours a month, making full reporting possible in just four days and putting timely, agile reporting capabilities directly in the hands of department heads. Using the QlikView business intelligence (BI) tool, these executives no longer have to wait 10 business days for accounting or IT staff to build reports, representing an annual cost savings of $81,000. In just days, DVL was able to create QlikView applications and deploy them without extensive training.

A CEO request for more efficient and interactive reporting led Cotter and the team to search for an effective business intelligence solution able to integrate with Microsoft Dynamics SL, Microsoft Dynamic CRM and several Microsoft SQL data sources. They sought an affordable tool that would require little training, ease the stress on over-burdened executives and put analysis in the hands of department heads. DVL reviewed Cognos and other BI packages, including Microsoft Scorecard, before choosing QlikView.

“After seeing QlikView in action, we knew we’d found the best solution,” said Cotter. “Both our president and CEO walked out of the first meeting with QlikView ready to buy. In the end, the sales cycle took a month and two months after implementation we’d cut reporting time in half.”
