QlikTech, the world's fastest-growing business intelligence (BI) company, announced it has been named a winner of the Midsize Enterprise Summit's 'Mid Market Innovation Awards'.
QlikTech was chosen by senior IT executives in a category that included Google, CommVault and Information Builders to win the best mid-market software solution award for the fifth consecutive time.
QlikTech is known for the groundbreaking in-memory, associative technology in its QlikView analytics product, which has become the BI standard in midsize companies around the world.
The company continues to innovate, including its recent launch of QlikView for iPhone, the first truly interactive mobile BI application.
“We are proud to be named a winner of Midsize Enterprise Summit East's Mid Market Innovation Awards,” said Lars Bj"ork, CEO of QlikTech. “QlikTech prides itself on being ahead of the curve in the business intelligence space, so it is very gratifying to be recognised by this distinguished group of IT decision-makers. IT professionals recognise that QlikView's ease of use and implementation delivers organisations a rapid path to what they really need - immediate answers to their pressing business questions.”
“American midsize enterprises are defined as companies with annual revenue of $1 billion or less. Eighty percent of JSE listed companies fall in that category and therefore a significant proportion of all companies in South Africa,” says Davide Hanan, MD of local distributor QlikView South Africa. With six banks and two major retailers now making use of QlikView in at least one business unit, 2009 has definitely seen accelerated uptake of QlikView by large corporates in the local market. “Everyone wants the flexibility, speed and ease of use that QlikView offers. With QlikView, we are able to deliver what users have been dreaming of for the past 20 years,” he adds.
The awards were presented at the Summit held from 3 to 6 May at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa, in Miami, Florida. The Midsize Enterprise Summit brought senior IT executives from midsize businesses, together with industry analysts and leading and emerging vendors. The event embraced mid-market-specific issues, trends and solutions from a horizontal and vertical industry-specific perspective. The business intensive format includes analyst-led sessions, vendor-led world premiers, private boardroom appointments, a showcase of exhibits, as well as networking functions.
The 'Mid Market Innovation Awards' are the only awards in the channel voted on solely by the attending IT decision-makers, who directly influence their customers' technology buying decisions. After two days of boardroom presentations and one-on-one meetings, the decision-makers vote on the products and services presented at the show.
