QlikTech, has announced the immediate availability of QlikView for iPhone, the first truly interactive mobile BI app built specifically for the iPhone, reports Microwire.Info.

The result is a groundbreaking app that puts the power of sophisticated, real-time business answers in the hands of mobile users worldwide.

But according to analysts, if used right, BI tools have the ability to deliver on their name, and provide companies with the information they need to make the right choices in turbulent times.
