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...

Qlikview to Tableau Migration

Tableau is one of the most popular Business Intelligence software in the market today. Many organizations are adapting Tableau recently and trying to migrate from their old Business Intelligence platform to Tableau. In this post, we will focus on QlikView to Tableau migration.

Effort needed to migrate from QlikView to Tableau depends on the way your QlikView software is implemented. In some cases, the data needed for QlikView Dashboard is completely prepared in a 3rd party tool so when migrating to Tableau, you do not need to convert ETL (extraction - transformation - load) code. But in most cases, ETL for QlikView is implemented using Qlik's own query language, AQL (QlikView is based upon patented technology called Associative Query Logic (AQL)).

Tableau does not provide a native ETL functionality so when migrating from QlikView to Tableau, you will probably need a 3rd solution to implement ETL for Tableau.

The exception above is of course keeping QlikView for ETL and just converting QlikView in-memory data to Tableau's native data set, TDE. But this usually involves, keeping two software licenses under maintenance.

So usually, Qlikview to Tableau migration requires :
1 - Selecting an ETL tool to migrate QlikView AQL code to
2 - Migrating QlikView AQL code to new ETL logic
3 - Reimplementing the dashboards

Yes, there is no product/tool that does automatic migration from Qlikview to Tableau dashboards. You need to manually implement the dashboards in Tableau. Traditionally, QlikView scripting language is richer than Tableau's own expression language so you will also need to handle some in dashboard calculations in ETL when migrating to Tableau.

Though looks difficult, the task is achievable, especially if you outsource the Qlikview to Tableau migration work to a company who knows both QlikView and Tableau. Here is one such company.

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. Jedox is unique in a sense that while most business intelligence solutions try to replace MS Excel based analysis and planning process entirely with their platform (and usually fails to do so because at one point things are exported to Excel), Jedox puts the powerful MS Excel sheet in the heart of their solution.

Data Analytics for Online Shops

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? Were there any technical errors? Was the accessibility of all pages always guaranteed? Traditionally, answering these questions require a lot of...
