A Natural, End-User-Driven Approach to Business Intelligence IBS Analytics, powered by QlikView, is a business discovery platform designed to make data actionable for every user. Unlike tools that simply put a new face on the same old data, this solution optimizes data structures, an analytical query engine, an interactive user experience, visualizations and collaboration to support the way our human curiosity naturally searches. Using dashboards and simple visualizations, users can:

• Make proactive decisions using true-self service business intelligence.

• Uncover hidden trends that drive innovation.

• Search all solution data for the big picture, using instant search capabilities that naturally seek out and draw data connections.

• View information in an easy-to-understand graphical format that delivers the “A-HA” experience.

• Diagnose and discover insights, modeling “what if” scenarios that predict outcomes before committing valuable resources.

• Gain powerful insights without leaning on IT or business analysts for support.

• Simplify decisions for everyone in your organization, everywhere you do business.

By consolidating and associating data from multiple sources, IBS Analytics powered by QlikView creates a single stream of insight business users can tap into, anytime, anywhere, to draw conclusions and collaborate on decisions that improve your competitive stance and build your bottom line.
