Challenge	Qualcomm, a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technologies, products, and services, faced challenges in analyzing the usage of its major enterprise applications. The existing Business Intelligence (BI) tools required up to six months to build each new application, which was time-consuming and inefficient. The team needed a solution that was more rapid and analytically driven to analyze enterprise application usage throughout the company. The search for a solution led Qualcomm Senior Programmer Analyst Steve Rimar to discover QlikView online. He was intrigued by the appealing visual analysis and the ability to rapidly develop new applications. Read More
