QlikView, a leader in business discovery – user-driven business intelligence (BI) – has announced that Astellas Pharma US, a QlikTech customer, was named a Ventana Research 2013 Leadership Award Winner for Business Intelligence.
Through successful implementation of QlikView, as well as effectively leveraging people, processes, and information to achieve superior results, Astellas was named the leader in the business intelligence category. The winner selected in this category has demonstrated exemplary application of business intelligence to help its organisation improve decision-making and overall performance.
Astellas Pharma is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. The company works toward improving the health of people around the world through innovative and reliable pharmaceutical products.
It is this focus on leadership and innovation that led Astellas to take on a new business intelligence and analytics initiative in 2012, selecting QlikView to reduce the number of ad hoc data pulls from the IT department, bring together disparate reports, and quickly create charts and graphs to share with the leadership team it supports.
Since deploying QlikView, Astellas and its sales analytics team have been able to provide actionable insights from the data the company collects. The team has been able to maximise information while minimising the time spent finding it.
Additionally, using new insights enabled by QlikView, Astellas’ sales leadership team has been able to continue growing market share, realign the sales force to be more effective, and support the successful launch of a new product, all resulting in a 4% increase in sales in the related brands.
“We’re very excited about the work Astellas has been able to accomplish using QlikView,” says Ellen Derrico, director Global Market Development, Life Sciences & Healthcare at QlikTech.
“The company has deployed QlikView to over 100 people – including the CEO – demonstrating that it is truly a business discovery solution for everyone that enables informed decision-making at every level of an organisation.”
