What is qlikmap.org about?
Qlikmap.org is an initiative of BARC (see “who is BARC?”) and officially supported by Qlik as a vendor. The goal is to give customers and partners a broader view of the ecosystem around the Qlik products and help connect customers, add-on vendors and service partners. See “how to participate” to find out how you can leverage qlikmap for your offerings. Your entry is free of charge!
What are the main parts of qlikmap.org?
We focus on the following main elements:
- The Solution Browser is an interactive guide to add-ons, dashboard templates, applications and all other pieces of software that add value to a customer’s Qlik installation. There is no prerequisite for being listed, and solutions new to the market are welcome. If you add your profile (see next point), it will take 2-3 days until your solution will appear on the public site due to quality checks.
- The popular “Blog Portfolio” provides a guide to blogs and Youtube channels around the Qlik offering – the prerequisite is a blog with at least 6 articles/videos in the last 12 months with value for Qlik users (not company blogs with information only about the company’s products and services). Find more detail in the article “About the Blog Portfolio”
- The “Service Partner Browser” shows consultancies and implementation partners with skillset in one or more Qlik products. It adds value to existing partner directories with its innovative search functionalities like e.g. search for a partner in a required language or with skills in add-on technologies.
- The static “Qlikmap” (a PDF with links to vendors and consultancies) showing the most important vendors and service partners for the Qlik ecosystem. This map is compiled by BARC analysts, information from Qlik partner management and market research. A basic entry in Qlikmap is not required, but helpful for visibility. The picture shows the structure of the map, which is planned to be released October 21:
