According to a recent press release, “Actian, the hybrid data management, analytics and integration company, today announced a strategic partnership with Qlik® to deliver next-generation data analytics solutions. The partnership leverages the speed of Actian’s Vector data analytics technology with Qlik’s self-service data analytics platform to deliver unprecedented levels of intuitive access and real-time insight for enterprises. The combination of these two industry-leading technologies will facilitate a new generation of data-driven solutions, enabling rapid access to the critical business insights self-service users need – all without complicated and costly custom IT development often required by conventional solutions. This reduces the need for specialized expertise and eliminates the performance bottlenecks seen in traditional relational databases, which often require batch data loading – hindering the ability to conduct effective ad hoc data discovery.”

The release goes on, “Actian is one of only a few partners who have optimized their offering to support Qlik’s pioneering Data Concierge capability, an open source discovery project which enables users to leverage on-demand application generation through an easy-to-use graphical interface to find and connect data sources throughout the enterprise. ‘Responding directly to our customers’ needs, this strategic, multi-dimensional collaboration with Qlik is aligned with Actian’s hybrid data vision,’ said Jeff Veis, Chief Marketing Officer at Actian. ‘This joint effort will usher in a fundamental breakthrough in terms of performance and scale for users conducting real-time, ad hoc data discovery. With the marriage of Qlik’s advanced data analytics platform and Actian’s hybrid data analytics and integration solutions, organizations are better equipped to become truly data-driven and gain competitive advantage’.”
