Implementing Qlik Sense

Consultant - An Introduction

In this chapter, we'll talk about consultancy and its importance, and how wearing the hat of a consultant helps in delivering successful projects. This chapter is useful for developers who aren't aware of who a consultant is, and what is expected from a consultant.

This chapter assumes the reader is conversant with basic Qlik development and is aware of terminologies used in business analytics. The BI market is growing at a phenomenal rate, and hence it is natural that consultants will play a big role. The figures quoted by Gartner for Analytics are mind-boggling indeed.

Gartner says that the Worldwide Business Intelligence and Analytics Market will reach $18.3 billion in 2017.

This chapter will be covering the following topics:

  • Understanding who is a consultant
  • Importance of being a consultant
  • Difference between a developer and a consultant
  • Roles and responsibility of a consultant
  • Strategy which a consultant must follow

When it comes to technology, especially platforms like Qlik, hundreds of books have been written, online tutorials have been authored, free ebooks available to download and so on.. There are multiple ways one can approach learning this platform and different books focus on different aspects in great details! However what I have always found missing is application of these platforms & technologies in real world which not just revolves around implementing real world scenarios but largely focuses on what I call as "extended challenges"; solving these, navigating these are the most important ingredients of a successful project which finally delivers business value expected out of technology investments. This book will challenge you to look much beyond what you usually consider in a role of Qlik expert, it will force you to re-think your role and will help shape your thought process to become a successful consultant who listens to the customers, sees beyond the facts, connects the dots and ensures business value at the end, all from the perspective of reaping maximum benefits from this platform for your customer!

What we have here is a nasty case of false advertising. A 400-page book called "Implementing Qlik Sense", and sold for $55, has maybe 100 pages of *random* Qlik Sense content. (Mind you, these are the low-payload Packt pages: in a book from a proper publisher, this would be 50). The authors did not want to write a book about Qlik Sense: my guess is they were out to produce a book about implementing data-analytics projects. In the event, they reached neither objective, and produced a low-quality, disjointed, derivative Frankenstein's monster of a book. BI professionals will understand the authors' technical level if I say that on page 29, they list "Terrada" among "data warehouse systems". One of the authors is apparently learning "Phython"; when I read that the other one is a "Qlik Sense MVP", I only wondered how high the bar for that achievement is. Karl Pover and Julian Villafuerte, both authors of Packt-published QlikView/Qlik Sense books, signed off on this thing as editorial reviewers - shame on them too. Finally, shame on Qlik, who, for a couple of years now, have failed to produce or support a quality book on Qlik Sense, inviting yet another unfavorable comparison with Tableau or Power BI. For the record, I hold certifications from all three vendors, i.e. Qlik, Tableau and Microsoft. Consider this when weighing my review against the five-star, one-line, zero-books-previously-reviewed reviews which are typical with Packt products and, I am sure, will in short course grace this page.

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:
