Four opportunities for Qlik users to save time and money
ZAP Data Hub connects to and collects data from any source — cloud or on-premise — integrating it and automatically creating a data warehouse. With ZAP there is no limit to the amount of data sources it can connect to. This significantly enhances the breadth and reach of Qlik Connectors and QVSource. Nor are there any restrictions on the complexity of query that can be performed or the volume of data that can be analyzed. With ZAP Data Hub, the time and resource required to find, understand and prepare data for analysis using Qlik Analytics Platform and QlikView is greatly decreased. It handles data security and legislative compliance, and reduces the need for specialists, data engineers and key-person dependencies when accessing disparate or siloed information. As our blog on the International Institute of IT Economics’ investigation into TCO of BI explains, two of the top TCO drivers in developing modern Business Intelligence are IT data management support and labor. For the latter, that’s: “installation, training, data management, content development and usage… of modern BI products significantly exceed(ing) application and infrastructure investments.” ZAP Data Hub reduces the amount of time your organization needs to spend on data labor by automating many of the processes involved. This means you get even greater insights while saving time and money on data preparation.
Data governance and security may be at risk when manually preparing your data for analysis, perhaps due to the potential for human error or a lack of process or audit trail. Additional workload and consultancy hours may also be required to handle everything from password and access control to reconciling duplicated analytics. ZAP Data Hub removes these concerns and overheads as it automates, controls, audits and logs all aspects of data governance and security. With ZAP, more automation means less manual data preparation and a lower risk of human error. Request a demo today to see first-hand how ZAP can help protect your data.
ZAP Data Hub connects to any data source and app across your business
Pre-packaged, automated and easily-configurable, ZAP Data Hub connects to all sources of business data. Whether it’s ERP, CRM, HRM or accounting, ZAP Data Hub can combine and connect the data to Qlik. Data Hub also covers marketing automation, collaborative and e-Commerce systems and APIs. As a result, all functions of a business become information-empowered, including IT, finance, sales, marketing, HR and operations. As Harvard Business Review confirms, “ensuring smart data management is the responsibility of all C-suite executives, starting with the CEO.” As Qlik’s developers explain, their BI tool “lets you create visualizations, dashboards and apps that answer your company’s most important questions.” But before those questions can even be asked, you need to be sure that all data is available and efficiently channeled into Qlik to arrive at the most accurate answer. And that’s where ZAP comes in.
