Win a free QlikView course for only a minute of your time (really!)

what-will-you-learn-todayv2_189As you may have read here before, besides blogging at QlikFix I also participate in the Q-On Training Center. Q-On offers focused, online instructor-led trainings that dive deep into specific QlikView and Qlik Sense subjects. These courses are delivered by well-known experts such as Rob Wunderlich, Karl Pover and Ralf Becher.

You can imagine that with attendees and trainers located all around the world, scheduling these courses so that it works out for everyone is sometimes not an easy feat. Besides that we are also developing additional courses.

Great, but you said something about a free QlikView course?

Yes, in order to better tune our courses to meet your schedules and interests, I have prepared a very short survey to ask you about your preferences. This will only take a minute of your time and in return you will be entered into a prize draw for a free Q-On training of your choice. The winner will be announced on July 1st 2015.

Looking forward to your input: take the survey.

Qlik Sense voice control with Amazon Echo

Amazon EchoI am currently at the Masters Summit for QlikView in San Francisco, where I just got a really cool demo from Rob Wunderlich. Rob built an extension object that integrates with Amazon Echo (want!) and allows you to control Qlik Sense using voice commands. Check out the video below.

Just as a reminder, if you weren’t able to join us at the Masters Summit in San Francisco this time, we have upcoming events in New York City and Copenhagen later this year. Check out the website for more information.

Hosting issues: QlikFix is back!

QlikFix is back!I had it coming, but yesterday it finally happened; the QlikFix website collapsed under its own success. With visitors and page views steadily increasing I had outgrown the cheap ‘n cheerful hosting solution that I’d been using for the past 3 years.

So yesterday I had to scramble and do what I’d been putting off for way too long; move everything to a new provider and a bigger server with more resources. Learned a lot about WordPress migrations and DNS in the process.

Everything should be up and running again and with better performance than before. If you notice any glitches or problems then please contact me.
