Customers are moving beyond traditional descriptive analytic dashboards and reports, and towards a process-oriented view of their operational data flows. This unique approach lets customers rapidly get results by taking action from their analysis.”

During his tenure at Qlik, Deighton helped to build the company from a small Swedish start-up into a disruptor in the data reporting market, and to establish the category of user-driven Business Intelligence.
