Qlik Sense Agent in action
What is it?
The Qlik Sense Agent is a solution that helps you to enforce Governance for your entire Qlik landscape and to enable Governed Self Service.
Which challenges does it address?
BICC/IT
- If personal apps are forwarded to the BICC to productionize them, it is hard to BICC to apply the corporate governance and best practices
- BICC is often contacted be Business Users to guide them to existing apps
- Today the BICC doesn‘t have any chance to provision data/data models to the Business Users for Self Service scenarios
- Everytime a user is connecting directly to a spefic data source, Corporate Security definition is lost Local copys of corporate data create huge compliance issue
Business Users
- Qlik Business Users don‘t have an overview over the content available within their entire Qlik enviroment and the given functionality
- As a workaround some Business Users build their own apps. This sometimes leads to a shadow IT scenario
- This is very time consuming and sometimes frustrating: Business Users typically don‘t want to reinvent the wheel (e.g. Salesforce datamodel)
Proposed solution
- Provide a very simple and user appealing webbased portal which guides the business user through their use cases
- Possibility to integrate other value added services like GMS, QMC Utilities, Qlik Data Concierge, askQ, Color Styler or other mashups
- Connect different types of solutions within 1 frontend: QlikView, Qlik Sense, Qlik NPrinting, different types of stages, non Qlik solutions
Supported Use Cases
BICC/IT
- Reuse existing Security Definitions while working in Self Service mode
- Reuse Governed Content from the Global Library
- Less effort for provisioning of governed datamodels
- Easy to productionize Self Service Apps
Business Users
- Identify existing content from the entire Qlik landscape through a metadata driven search
- Present existing content using Business Cards
- Self Service Process to enhance Governed Apps with personal data
- View Apps (QlikView or Qlik Sense)
- Request access for Apps
- Self Service Apps are connected to governed content a could benefit from automatic data refreshes
