Challenge	CIBER, a global IT services and system integration provider, was looking for a new software application to add to its exclusive stable of preferred software applications. The company was already a Microsoft Gold Partner and the leading Microsoft UK CRM vendor in 2008/09. However, it was looking for a tool that could be deployed at client sites in a matter of days, rather than months or years, and that would allow users to execute complex queries on huge data sets in seconds, without having to involve IT. The company was also looking for a tool that could be integrated with its existing software applications, including Sage, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Microsoft Dynamics AX. Read More

Solution	CIBER decided to add QlikView to its exclusive stable of preferred software applications. QlikView is a business intelligence tool that allows users to execute complex queries on huge data sets in seconds, without having to involve IT. The tool was relatively unknown to CIBER, but the company decided to give it a try after hearing stories of its fast deployment and ease of use at a local seminar. CIBER initially focused on selling QlikView as a reporting and dashboard extension to its considerable base of Sage customers. However, the scope was later extended to include Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Microsoft Dynamics AX customers as well as any 3rd party, non-CIBER applications. CIBER's SAP division is now evaluating QlikView, which offers a connector that is certified for SAP NetWeaver, making the integration a relatively fast and painless exercise.
