QlikView Server 9 New Look!

Jay Jakosky — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 05:26:44 +0000

I’m kicking the tires on this new version and so far it makes a really good impression. I did the default install on a vanilla Windows 2003 Server x64 SP2 installation. I’ll post notes on installation sometime soon. This is the default view of the server documents at http://localhost/qlikview/

Spotfire Unveils Holiday Shopping Guide

An example of their interactive analysis tool. The data is from Amazon Web Services but I’m pretty sure it is not connected “live” in any way. Last I checked, Spotfire loads data as a batch process.

Peter Batty Discusses One-Second Results And Geospatial Analysis

Peter Batty discusses one-second results in the world of geospatial data.

The first was that if you can provide information at “the speed of thought”, or the speed of a click, this enables people to do interesting things, and work in a different and much more productive way. Google Search is an example – you can ask a question, and you get an answer immediately. The answer may or may not be what you were looking for, but if it isn’t you can ask a different question. And if you do get a useful answer, it may trigger you to ask additional questions to gain further insight on the question you are investigating.

A second idea is that when you are looking for insights from business data, the most valuable data is “on the edges” – one or two standard deviations away from the mean. This leads to another Netezza philosophy which is that you should have all of your data available and online, all of the time. This is in contrast to the approach which is often taken when you have very large data volumes, where you may work on aggregated data, and/or not keep a lot of historical data, to keep performance at reasonable levels (historical data may be archived offline). In this case of course you may lose the details of the most interesting / valuable data.

Increase Productivity!!

Jay Jakosky — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:43:45 +0000

We design and build solutions that increase productivity in your business!

What kind of productivity?

Business productivity!

I guess you do it all. I’d like that.

More productivity?

I want more profit.

We can help with that!

You can? Why don’t you just say, “We make you more money.”

We improve the productivity of your business!

That’s not the same thing at all. “Productivity” is vague and unmeasurable.

We can help!

Can you help me make more money?

We can help you become more nimble!

What does that even mean? Can anyone measure it?

We help you compete in a global marketplace!

I’m a lot more concerned about the competition knocking on my customer’s door today.

We can help you manage your customer relationships!

Will that make me more money?

It helps productivity!

So you want to sell me services to improve my productivity, but they might not make any money?

We can do whatever you want us to do!

Your website says you have the “skills and depth of experience” to help my business be more productive.

You want to be more productive?

I’d like to make more money.

We can help!

Microsoft Demonstrates Industry-Specific Office Collaboration Solution

I’ll name my kid Jaduka Serendipity

I left my iPhone in a cab on Monday coming in from the airport. Bummer. On the bright side, I talked to a rep from Jaduka today. They have a web demo of their tools that I can use to make free calls from my hotel room. There are other options, for a variety of reasons this one works perfectly for me right now.
