QlikView Implementation Team

Sandro Gatti - PeerSpot reviewer

Deployment is a swift process, especially for projects of medium complexity, usually taking around five to ten days. There is typically an additional month for various activities, including engagement with the customer and testing phases, to bring the project to completion.

The deployment process involves linking various units and requires careful project planning, including determining the necessary components, deployment strategies, and the overall timeline for the entire process. The duration can vary significantly, typically spanning from one week to several months, contingent on factors like the complexity of the customer's needs and any difficulties encountered during the migration or the implementation process.

The duration for deployment varies depending on the project's complexity. For some projects, it could take a few weeks, especially when dealing with large reports and multiple dashboards. But there were also cases where it took only a few days.

Usually, there were three or four people involved in the deployment process.

Vice President, Business Continuity Manager / Information Security Officer / Project Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

A vendor team implemented it, but it was more like a sales team. We just asked for more licenses and put the server deployment on hold for way too long.

Although users were very happy, the cross-division expansion that I felt was possible never happened.

The biggest problem out there is that most people keep thinking, If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I believe that people use MS Excel way too much, and that is a symptom that something is broken.

Also, I used QV to pull data out of core systems often whenever reconciliations were questioned. (Analyzing the source directly is better than another Excel spreadsheet.)

FSI IT Consulting Manager at Deloitte Portugal

We do our own implementations without the need for a high level of involvement from the QlikTech vendor team. Our main advice is that a good understanding of how tabular models work when designing the data model, and a good understanding of the full QlikView offering specifically in terms of ETL, are fundamental for a good QlikView implementation project.

I would advise that the first implementation should be done through a vendor team in order to have better standards/best practices applied from the beginning. It would speed up the learning curve.

Business Information Expert Performance Measurement at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

We have implemented it with vendor teams and in-house ones (multiple installations). For a simple scenario with one server, just do the training and you can do it yourself. For a more complex scenario (we have a cluster of six servers in the cloud), it is better to let the vendor do it; they have the best connections for the complexities of clustering.

We have a tech team that is doing the implementation. We just send the request to the tech team. That said, it doesn't take long until they reply back to us and give us the user. I'm not sure for how long they need to install, however, my request is usually solved within an hour or two.

Data Architect at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees

We implement it through a collaboration with the vendor. The vendor team is responsible for installation and configuration. And the in-house team is responsible for development.

My advice is to use a data warehouse as the data source, which can greatly reduce Qlik implementation time, as creating too many joins in Qlik is not a best practice.

Information System & Business Enterprise Manager at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees

We did it in-house, with one week of one vendor person assisting. (The four apps he helped us put together, we ended up redesigning altogether once we had a chance to use them and redefined requirements.)

Advice: Keep it simple. We know of similar organizations that used third-party implements, who created apps that were complicated to support and use, and consequently those implementations were not entirely successful. In at least once case, they abandoned the product (and haven’t done anything else that I’m aware of).

IT Admin at a logistics company with 501-1,000 employees

We implemented the whole environment without any additional support. Before we start working with the product, we organized in-house training from a vendor partner for developers and report designers based on our requirements.

My advice for implementation is to create a team made up of developers and IT department staff to set up the concept for test and production environments.

Training for IT and developers is available from the vendor, or if you organize in-house training from the vendor partner. Provisioning of data should be the responsibility of the IT department. You can also plan to have the vendor or vendor partner implement the product.

Business Intelligence Data Architect at a construction company with 1,001-5,000 employees

We implemented through a vendor. The advice I would have is to ensure that you attend all necessary QlikView courses (i.e. designer / developer), to get a very clear idea for yourself exactly how QlikView works. Sometimes sales consultants will over-sell you on the bells and whistles of a product, and when you actually want to make use of it in a particular way, you might not be able to. This has not been the case during our QlikView implementation, but I have experienced other implementations that have been like this.

So you do need to be very clear on:

  • What exactly do you want to get out of a business intelligence solution, what data do you want to manipulate and analyse, etc.
  • For your own sanity, be very clear on how QlikView works and that you will get the solutions out of it that you want.
