One of the leading Universities in Asia and Singapore, National University of Singapore (NUS), as a part of their induction of students for their new Master’s Batch MSBA (Master of Science in Business Analytics), organised a session to introduce Qlik. The objective of this session was to present leading technologies in analytics and showcase the capabilities of a leading product used by the industry, Qlik Sense.
After due deliberations, it was agreed to organise this session on 4th August. The session included a company presentation by Consulting Practise Manager, Vivek Pandey, a presentation about the Qlik Academic Program by Pankaj Muthe, followed by a product demo, explaining the key features of Qlik Sense by Senior Solution Architect, Kam Wei Leong. From the side of NUS, Professor James Pang , Co-Director, Business Analytics Centre, coordinated with Qlik for this event. This 3-hour session was attended by more than 60 students of MSBA.
Students were quite interactive during the sessions and were interested in understanding about the Qlik Academic Program. Some of them asked questions around how to make the best use of the academic program resources and get qualified for exams offered by the program. During the product demo, students asked about the various features of Qlik Sense such as how could one use the story telling feature, leverage the “power of grey” to explore data in greater depth etc.
Overall, the session went quite well, and NUS and Qlik are exploring other ways to engage in the future.
