But once the platform is installed and data is loaded, the next question will be, “what do you want in your apps?” Usually people know their KPI’s, perhaps have a few graphs that they want to replicate, but creating a true data discovery experience that drives the most insights can be challenging. Designing full-featured data discovery apps takes time, but the good news is that with Qlik, it’s easy to begin building an app right away. [ 175 more words ]

BENGALURU: In 2017, the year that Facebook declared India as a country with its largest user base, domestic social network Mooshak began tapping people who write and converse in vernacular languages. Over the last nine months, the Mooshak app has been downloaded 200,000 times and roughly 5% of users, almost all non-English speakers, are active on the desi social network.

When we teamed up with the NCAA last December, we were thrilled to help them use cloud technology to analyze more than 80 years’ worth of statistical game and competition data.
