 QlikView teams up with Circle of Blue


  QlikView ( Business Intelligence company) and Circle of Blue (a team of award-winning journalists and researchers reporting on water and worldwide resource issues) announced  a  newdata dashboard  on the 19th of March. New data dashboard was issued as a supporting effort to White House Climate Data Initiative.


QMass amounts of data, particularly water-related, are often compartmentalized within agencies and not available in comparative, visual formats. The QlikView dashboards and their sophisticated and engaging, state-of-the-art graphics – combined with Circle of Blue’s on-the-ground reporting, online networks, and participatory convenings – will help officials make informed decisions and better understand, monitor, compare and manage the nation’s most vulnerable water supplies in an era of climate change. The application also includes reservoir data from water-challenged areas of Australia.
According to World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2014 ranks “water crises” among the planet’s top three most urgent issues. Water scarcity and supply are particularly influenced by climate change, and are emerging as serious threats to people, business, the environment and political stability across the world, including the United States. It has been said that QlikView is helping in empowering individuals with meaningful context about the decisions they make every day.
Anthony Deighton, CTO and senior vice president of products at Qlik said “We’re thrilled that Circle of Blue is using QlikView to bring its important research findings and larger freshwater issues to the public.”
The White House Climate Data Initiative has identified private, philanthropic, academic, and nonprofit sector commitments to leverage data and data-driven insights that can support communities, companies and citizens prepare for the impacts of climate change, including system shocks such as floods, droughts, wildfires and heat waves.
