QlikTech and QlikView have again been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the visionary quadrant in the 1Q07 Business Intelligence (BI) Platforms Magic Quadrant report. 

QlikTech is part of a new class of easy-to-use, fast and flexible business analysis solutions that empower individuals to improve corporate performance and drive innovation.

According to the Gartner report, "traditionally, BI was just for senior executives and analysts, but many enterprises are extending their BI platform capabilities throughout the organisation to operational workers and mangers."   The report also states that "the long-term prospects for the market look solid" and the increasing scope of BI platforms to include more users and access more data sources will also perpetuate market growth. 

QlikTech's flagship product, QlikView, extends the company's vision of simplifying business analysis, offering solutions that can be deployed in days, where users can be trained in minutes, and where end users have the freedom to be more creative in their analyses.  "We consider QlikTech's positioning in the visionary quadrant confirmation of our product offerings and business strategy," said Anthony Deighton, vice president of Marketing at QlikTech.  "QlikTech's phenomenal growth is fueled by a fundamental shift in the way companies approach business intelligence.  Today's professionals want BI software which can be deployed in days, where users can be trained quickly, and which empowers people with information."

According to Gartner, "visionaries" have a clear vision of market direction and are focused on preparing for that, but they can still improve in terms of optimising service delivery.
