QlikTech (NASDAQ: QLIK), a leader in Business Discovery - user-driven business intelligence (BI), announced that its global corporate social responsibility programme, Change Their World, has awarded 50 grants in 18 countries on six continents since launching in February 2010.
Non-profit organisations can apply for a QlikView Change Their World grant to receive free QlikView licences, deployment and training to help them gain visibility into data sources that can accelerate outcomes, connect donors with recipients, and make their good work better.
Change Their World's growth proves that QlikView is opening up infinite possibilities for advancing causes for the greater good.
Humanitarian and community-based grant recipients range from those that:
* Support those impacted by Aids: HopeHIV (UK) and Star for Life (Africa)
* Help the poor: Christian Revival Centre (Uganda), World Vision (in APAC and US) and Caritas, Spain
* Promote and defend children's rights: Plan International Spain and Plan Norge (Norway)
* Empower women and girls in Africa: Zabuntu Zambia
* Provide community services: Darussafaka Cemiyeti (services for orphans in Turkey), Handicap International (services for the disabled in Germany), SHEKEL (special needs services in Israel), Sunshine Inc (services for disadvantaged and special needs children in US), and Haus der Barmherzigkeit (care for the elderly in Germany)
* Provide emergency support: Huntingdon County Emergency Management Agency
(US) and Swedish Sea Rescue.
“We are thrilled with the momentum of our Change Their World grant programme,” said Lars Bj"ork, CEO at QlikTech. “In tandem with an overwhelming response from QlikTech partners and employees, we have created a powerful community of giving that is empowering organisations at the forefront of charitable causes with an effective solution that allows them to focus on and carry out their good work.”
Additional organisations that are leveraging QlikView grants include:
* Doctors Without Borders (Sweden) is an international humanitarian medical organisation with the mission to save lives and alleviate suffering. The organisation's most valuable use of QlikView has been to visualise a five-year perspective, allowing them to compare the past to the future to more strategically make campaign decisions.
* KIPP New Orleans, the Knowledge Is Power Program, (US) is a national network of free open-enrolment college preparatory schools dedicated to preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and life. KIPP New Orleans deployed QlikView to more than 190 teachers, who are now able to input data about each student's classroom performance, analyse it, and then quickly act on it.
* HOPEHIV (UK) is helping some 50 000 vulnerable children and young people in 26 partner organisations across sub-Saharan Africa. Through its use of QlikView, HOPEHIV is starting to gauge how effective and efficient its fundraising strategies are, to make better decisions about how to allocate critical funds.
* The Shift Project (France), a think tank centred on climate change and energy issues, required a tool that allowed users to not only analyse but also visualise global energy statistics. The organisation integrated QlikView into its data portal, and has been able to create a user-friendly source of improved data for the public as well as implement QlikView in human resources.
* The Philadelphia Youth Network (US) is a workforce development organisation for local youth. PYN deployed QlikView to support its finance, workforce development, student payroll, and student activities departments. In employment costs alone, PYN has been able to save up to $30 000 to $75 000 a year.
* Aids Accountability International (Sweden) holds its stakeholders accountable through rating tools to increase transparency and empower advocacy for an improved response to Aids. AAI launched the “Workplace Scorecard”, which enables companies to monitor and benchmark their HIV/Aids strategies and activities in the workplace. QlikView is used to help aggregate the data collected from the various organisations, identifying which organisations need to improve their initiatives.
