According to a recent press release out of the company, “Qlik, a leader in visual analytics today announced a strong, strategic partnership with the United Nations bringing the power of data analytics to global humanitarian efforts to impact efficiency and efficacy. The United Nations, through the Office of Information and Communications Technology (OICT), is leveraging Qlik’s visual analytics platform to create applications advancing United Nations’ missions by aggregating and presenting information in an easy-to-use way that provides valuable insights for prompt action. This partnership comes as part of the Qlik Corporate Social Responsibility ‘Change Our World’ program, which provides software and services to make the good work of humanitarian organisations better by making sense of complex information.”

The release continues, “This partnership underscores the United Nation Secretary-General’s recent remarks at Davos: ‘I call Agenda 2030 our ‘declaration of interdependence.’ The world is coming to recognise more and more that problems in one country reverberate in another. A crash in one market can drive a crisis around the world. That is why it is so important to make the most of our collective strengths. We will need to work together – across sectors and industries – to address how to realise new approaches to finance, investment, trade and technology. We have seen many examples at the United Nations of how leveraging joint resources and expertise can quickly and effectively uncover solutions. I hope to forge even more and stronger partnerships that have a real impact on people’s lives’.”
