BENEFITS

TIMELY, ACCURATE INFORMATION DELIVERY The ability to conduct analysis of business data is a critical success factor for many organizations. As business analysis practices and tools become more widespread, controlling distribution of analysis and reporting within an organization becomes increasingly important. QlikView Publisher gives organizations full control over QlikView application and report distribution. It automates the data refresh process and ensures that applications and reports are distributed to the right people, in the right format, at the right time. QlikView Publisher makes it easy to create routines that guarantee the quality, timeliness, and accuracy of business information.

SECURE ACCESS TO BUSINESS DATA AND ANALYSIS QlikView Publisher ensures that users only have access to the documents, reports, and data they need to get their jobs done. Based on security criteria set by an administrator, Publisher can slice a QlikView application into multiple QlikView documents, add row level security, and distribute finalized QlikView documents or PDF reports to all authorized users. QlikView Publisher integrates directly with existing enterprise security infrastructure, making administration and distribution of business analysis and reports secure and efficient.

DELEGATE ADMINISTRATION With QlikView Publisher, administrators can delegate rights to create and manage tasks in a secure and controlled manner, with full auditing. These document administrators work with a limited subset of the management interface dedicated to Publisher tasks. They can be limited to working with a subset of documents (e.g., only the finance or sales QlikView documents).

DISTRIBUTE REPORTS ENTERPRISEWIDE Any QlikView report defined inside a QlikView document can be delivered across the enterprise. The QlikView Publisher Distribution Wizard reloads the data, generates multiple PDFs, and delivers these reports directly to users’ inboxes or specified network locations.
