Business Case: Data Warehouse vs Qlikview

Time Savings – Current + Future

Cost Savings – Immediate and long term

User Requirements

Traditional Approach

Specify Each Data Field Required

Map and Populate Fields

Design Report

Cycle around ad-infinitum

as different user views and

“endless” data requirements

Adopted Approach

Develop data input based on any

data field being available

Populate “standard” charts with

ability to

Minimise Charts

Fast Change Charts / Tables

Export Data out if really needed

Increased Speed in development

and reuse of common fields/charting

User selects preferred view of

information
