Best practices (data warehouse+Qlik)

[fatanraja]

Hi,

I’m a BA for the Data Warehouse and the Qlik Apps for our company. I just recently switched companies and at my new company, they try to solve almost everything with Qlik Apps, but in all my classes and/or certificate programs I was taught that the front end tool should be ‘dumb’. The data logic should be in the data warehouse. The consultants for Qlik think otherwise and try to transform in qvd. What is the best practice in your company?

That's a super interesting question. My new employer handles it exactly as you describe: Everything that can be implemented in Qlik also takes place there.

We try to put the logic in our data warehouse so any downstream tools don't have to employ that logic.  It is likely they would get out of synch eventually.
