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...

Swiss Health and Accident Insurer Helsana choses QlikView

Helsana Group, a leading health and accident insurer in Switzerland, will use uses QlikView Business Intelligence platform to consolidate and analyze data from Teradata, Microsoft and Oracle data warehouses. QlikView will enable Helsana users to perform quick and easy data analysis in the areas of sales, management control and information management.

Helsana required a dynamic analysis tool which is alternative to their existing and cumbersome reporting. Traditional business intelligence solutions are too complex and creates a lot of extra work for the IT department so the company turned to an easy to use and flexible QlikView.

QlikView enables business users to assemble data from multiple sources, explore it, make discoveries, and uncover insights that enable them to solve business problems in new ways. QlikView works the way the mind works. Users conduct searches and interact with dynamic dashboards and analytics from any device. They ask and answer streams of questions on their own and in groups and teams. They forge new paths to insight and decision.

QlikView will connect to existing Teradata, Microsoft (SQL Server), and Oracle datawarehouses which hold all of the data and consolide all of the data sources into a single view, allowing users to quickly and easily track and analyze all of their relevant metrics. The original QlikView deployment was as a management information system, however the organization later chose to expand the solution into their sales organization to perform critical sales analysis. Today, all major KPIs in the sales department are tracked through Helsana’s sales cockpit, powered by QlikView. As an added bonus, Helsana benefits from the synergies of the management information system and sales management now that they are all run on a common platform.

"We wanted a flexible BI solution for standard reporting and ad hoc queries. The key was finding a solution that allowed us to control and analyze live data company wide,” said Harald Roshardt, Head of Analysis & Reporting at Helsana. “QlikView is not only more cost effective than an SAP or IBM Cognos solution would have been, but it also allows us to obtain insights into our current sales activity and analyze the data in seconds. This is all without going through the laborious, manual process we had previously.”

“Helsana is a great example of how the use of QlikView can start in one part of the organization and then spread to other departments to create additional value,” said Chris Christy, National Healthcare Market Director, Qlik. “By enabling business users to manage analytics on their own, QlikView allows organizations to scale their BI deployments in a way that makes sense for their organization, without bogging down the IT department.”

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.

Making shopping a smooth and easy experience is the goal of many online shops. But how can easy website navigation be optimized? Unlike the physical shops, you cannot talk to the sales people in the online shops and a customer should find his or her way through the online shop. And unlike pysical shops, online shops can have hundreds of thousands of visitors every day. To optimize the shopping experience, some important questions should be answered : Why do customers put products into their shopping cart and do not buy them at the end? Was it because of the sales process or he/she liked another product simply better? What impact has a customer's drop from a detail page? Where are the differences in customer behavior depending on the different product groups, Customer types or assortments? What are the figures compared to the previous year?
