Good cooperation between emergency services, governments, companies and citizens is important for the safety region. This requires insight into what exactly is going on: in data. Eric van der Laan, senior information manager at the Safety Region Haaglanden: “We started our efforts in the field of Business Intelligence around 2015. There was an increasing demand for analyses from the various departments. In order to prevent everyone from looking for their own tools, we decided to tackle this for the safety region as a whole.”
Qlik Sense® excelled in user-friendliness. During the selection process, the safety region looked at 3 different tools: Qlik Sense, Cognos and Tableau.
Eric van der Laan:
“Qlik Sense excelled in terms of usability and the look & feel of the dashboards. We decided to start small with Qlik Sense, creating one dashboard to see if the user experience would be as good as we thought in practice. This was successful, after which Qlik Sense became our preferred tool for data visualizations, reporting and analytics.”
