Golf Solutions Designed at Barnham Broom Golf Club in Norfolk

 Many sports tend to be biassed towards one sex or another. For example, football is a sport dominated by men and does not become much more masculine than rugby! On the other side of the fence, netball definitely falls into the women's category. However, there are some sports that share gender gracefully, which appeal to both men and women. Reddit live streaming Golf is undoubtedly one of these sports and has no age limits. Spread across courses in the UK you will find some unlikely groups of people bound by their love for this great outdoor sport. Some will play every day, while others will only play on the weekends, perhaps as a way to relieve the stress of a difficult week at the office. No golfer tends to join a club and membership packages vary widely in price. Most golf clubs simply offer standard packages with the assumption that one size fits all and offers a bit of flexibility. However, some offer more realistic membership packages, considering how much you will be playing...

Centralized QlikView Security Management Module - Click2Manage

QlikView is a fantastic business intelligence platform but it does have some limitations when it comes to security management. Although the application is quite secure (it is used in a lot of banks where security is extremely important) but setting up security is cumbersome. QlikView platform by default lacks a single, easy manageable and scalable security module. The built-in security framework is highly manual and script based to setup. Although it is manageable for 50-100 users, security management becomes a real burden for a few hundred to few thousand users. In addition to manageability issues, QlikView default security framework lacks the following:

Role based security setup assignment – Every users security configuration is done separately even a large group of users share the same security configuration where role based security assignment is crucial.

GUI based security configuration – Security configuration in QlikView is script based. Although QlikView Publisher (an add-on product to QlikView Server) offers somehow GUI based security setup, this is still not role based and the Publisher is an expensive addition to the QlikView platform.

Audit trail – Although almost all actions of users in QlikView are logged, security access configuration changes are not logged so there is no way to understand who changed what sort of security configuration

Layered security admin structure – QlikView’s security access manager, ADMIN, can do every changes about security. This prevents defining different levels of security admins to distribute the load of security configuration and creates significant security issues.

Encrypted security setup storage – QlikView does not provide an encrypted security setup storage.

Click2Manage

Click2Manage is a centralized QlikView Security Management Module developed by Singapore based Knowledge Management Solutions. Click2Manage still sits on the standard QlikView security access model in the background but provide a layer on it to overcome its limitations. Click2Manage deploys easy GUI based management interface to create and manage the SECURITY profile for QlikView Security setup.

Benefits

Easy management of security for hundreds or thousands of users and profiles.Security setup with out of the box tools provided by QlikView server and publisher may be sufficient for 50-100 users, but it becomes labourous and unproductive for a few thousands of users.

What is JEDOX?

Jedox is a Self Service Business Intelligence, Analytics and Performance Management platform developed by Jedox AG based in Freiburg im Breisgau/Germany. With a modular structure, JEDOX platform uses Microsoft Excel as its user interface on the one hand and a Jedox-specific spreadsheet on the other, both of which can be used in all common browsers.

The Black Death and how it changed Europe

 In the dark ages, religious dogma is the law, science is a cult that can be executed, and technology is considered the devil's masterpiece. History and public consciousness bear in mind the aforementioned features of the Dark Ages and the Crusades, which were only examples of the goals of European imperialism. However, there was another major event in the Dark Ages that greatly influenced modern culture in its own right. In fact, a widespread bacterial infection could be said to have a greater impact than most other events at the time. A small bacterial infection wiped out nearly half of Europe, setting off the invasion of the Mongol tribes of Genghis Khan. The same pandemic has left Europe in such a weakened state that it took almost a century for most major nations to recover. A small bacterial infection turned into a large-scale epidemic, spawning many heretical Christian groups, and indirectly leading to the formation of the Inquisition, which paralyzed the old world for deca...

QlikView Pricing and Cost

Business Intelligence cost can vary from scope to scope. More, it can vary for the same company and the same scope due to the approach, special prices, etc. Unfortunately most vendors do not publish their business intelligence software licensing and pricing publicly. You need to engage with them to get prices and you have almost noway to know exact pricing. These vendors usually sign a non-disclosure agreement with their existing customers so you cannot even get an answer for the cost and pricing by detailed investigation. QlikView, one of the most innovative business intelligence solutions in the market, is one of the few business intelligence solution provider whose licensing and pricing options and prices are publicly available. QlikTech (the developer of QlikView) is not only transparent on the pricing and licensing but also provides many options for its customers to have optimum license mix. This is great news if you are looking forward for a business intelligence solutions and Ql...
