On the Qlik Blog, we have written all kinds of stories about SMBs and large enterprise customers. This…would be the latter: $40 billion+ in annual revenue, more than 50,000 employees and a worldwide brand that nearly every technology consumer has encountered at one point in their lives.

They need to be able to identify trends rapidly, across multiple geographies and inform thousands of employees which course to take in order to capitalize.
