Data literacy, according to Mike Capone, CEO of analytics software company Qlik, is to the information age what traditional literacy — reading and writing — was to the industrial age: a skill essential to anyone wanting to fully participate in the workforce, and one required by all organisations for every facet of their operations.
To improve the quality of patient care one of New Zealand’s largest private hospital providers, MercyAscot, has deployed the Qlik visual analytics platform in conjunction with Qlik Elite partner Acumen BI, which specialises in providing Qlik business intelligence software to the healthcare industry.
Continuing its efforts to bring business intelligence to the masses, software provider Qlik has released Qlik Sense, which is designed to provide business managers with an easy way to examine large data sets for insights and trends.
