Why it matters: The idea of "in memory analysis" within your business intelligence system may not sound very sexy—heck, you may not be sure what the phrase means—but we think
QlikTech will get you interested soon. The vendor, which is growing at a red-hot pace, competes with OLAP-based business intelligence vendors like MicroStrategy and Cognos, but its architecture relies on processing data within the memory of increasingly affordable 64-bit servers. The result is a much more flexible data-sharing architecture, making it simpler—and dramatically faster--for healthcare organizations to analyze data across the silos that always exist.
What to look for: More aggressive growth in the healthcare business. While QlikTech isn’t focused solely on the industry, it’s already in about 100 substantial healthcare organizations and moving into more fast.
