QlikView is a business intelligence and data visualization platform developed by Qlik that uses an associative in-memory data model to enable interactive analysis across multiple data sources. Unlike query-based BI tools, QlikView loads data into RAM and maintains dynamic associations between all fields, allowing users to explore data freely without predefined drill paths. The platform's dual scripting capability—combining a powerful ETL scripting language with an expression-based visualization layer—makes it uniquely suited for rapid, self-service analytics where users can uncover hidden insights through ad-hoc selection and exploration.
