A very small implementation

[#1]

I have a requirement where I need to implement qlikview for 5 desktop users. The aim is to spend as less as possible. Can somebody advise?

I need to access some 7 excel files, complete the data model, create the dashboard and then make the dashboard available to these 5 users. Would I still need a server or just 5 local licenses would suffice? If so any idea about the cost of the local licenses?

Thanks,

Ram

The prices are available on the qlik website. I don't know if the local desktop licences are available anymore in your area, in most places the minimum configuration is Server + 5 Users.

Another solution is to use a Self-Service BI platform like QlikView OnDemand (monthly fee).

When you say Server + 5 Users, You mean SBE plus 5 Named CALs?

thanks Arul. Just a few questions.

1. If I have to expose the access point on the web is that possible using SBE. I hope so.

2. One of the limitations you have mentioned is the mobility. But I believe dashboards developed in SBE can be viewed on tablets or mobile. Am I wrong?

[arulsettu]

first one is correct.

i think the second one is wrong they developing for tablets or mobile differently based on screen size
