Acumen BI has been named as visual analytics vendor Qlik's first elite solution provider in New Zealand.

The elevated status recognises Acumen BI's ability to deliver outstanding data insights to customers, providing ‘exceptional client service and upholding its reputation of quality solution design and implementation for enterprise customers'.

Acumen says as a result of the partnership, it has experienced a year to data growth in software sales of 235%.

Daniel Gargiulo, Acumen BI's Qlik practice lead, says the elite solution provider status is ‘a springboard to greater growth' for the business intelligence solutions provider.

“We are honoured to be recognised as a Qlik elite solution provider, not only because of our strong commitment in providing clients with a complete picture of their business operations, but also to acknowledge the mutual benefits our companies have derived from the partnership,” Gargiulo says.

“Our team at Acumen BI has been hard at work to make this partnership a success and I commend their efforts as we push forward with new opportunities,” he adds.

The company provides tailor-made solutions, based on Qlik's platform approach to visual analytics, to clients ranging from owner operated businesses to multi-national corporations in industries as diverse as financial services, retail, government, health care and education.

The solutions aggregate data analytics to drive operational and strategic business decisions to give customers a competitive edge. Sharryn Napier, Qlik vice president and regional director for Australia and New Zealand, says Acumen's commitment to providing customers with exceptional insight has led to a valuable partnership that has helped push the Qlik platform forward and keep it on the cutting edge of innovation in visual analytics.
