Background DRAFT White Paper for OMB Pittsburgh, July 11, 2013.
Start With the End in Mind, Avoid Tool Wars, and Develop
Well-designed Spreadsheets That Can be Dragged and Dropped Onto a
Tool That Creates Statistics and Visualizations in the Public and
Private Clouds. Focus on Requirements Analysis by First Comparing
Magic Quadrant Leaders on Common Data Sets. Spotfire Was Able to
Reproduce All the Tableau and Birst Data Visualizations With
Dynamically Linked Visualizations. Broaden This Requirements
Analysis to Include More Sample Data Sets and Tools. QlikView Is a
Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. 2

QlikCommunity: Connectivity and Data Sources 7
http://community.qlikview.com/community/connectivity My Note: I did
not find Data Sources here.
Slide 8
QlikCommunity: First Application 8
http://community.qlikview.com/docs/DOC-4345 My Note: I found four
Data Sources here: Northwind.mdb A Microsoft Access database that
is freely and publically available. It contains data based on a
fictitious product sales organization. CustomerMaster.csv A
comma-separated values file containing a list of customers and
their details. ProductMaster.xls A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
containing a list of products sold by the fictitious sales
organization. ProductCategory.txt A text file containing the
product to product group relationships.

My Note: Cannot load multiple tab spreadsheets and Access. Requires
scripting and 47 pages of documentation. Do this in Spotfire and
re-create the visualization types.

Some Conclusions and Recommendations Semantic Community Was
Able to Build the QlikView Personal Edition: Build Your First
Application More Readily With Spotfire Using the Nwind Access
Database. Spotfire Is Able to Match or Exceed the Visualization
Types and Their Options in QlikView. Semantic Community Will
Continue to Use The Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader Tools and Their
Sample Data Sets and to Recreate Visualizations and Dashboards.
