En Masse Entertainment Uses QlikView to Compete and Win In the Online Gaming World

Company harnesses the power of current records to discover opportunities in all areas of the company including game development, fraud detection, and sales and marketing

RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- QlikTech (NASDAQ: QLIK), a leader in Business Discovery — user-driven Business Intelligence (BI), today announced that En Masse Entertainment™, a player-driven publisher focused on delivering fun and innovative online games including the award-winning action MMO, TERA™, has deployed QlikView to help maintain its competitive advantage in the hyper-competitive online gaming world. QlikView helps En Masse by empowering over 25% of its employees to ask and answer essential questions and better support the agile business decision-making process.

"In order to thrive in a very competitive market, we needed a solution that could transform our mountains of data, in a timely manner for useful analysis that could give us greater insights for strategic actions," said Jon Tuite, business intelligence analyst at En Masse Entertainment. "By having the ability to segment and analyze groups of individuals based on certain dimensions of data in just a few clicks, we gain a wide array of insights about who is doing what within our systems."

QlikView makes it easy for En Masse business users to gain relevant insights from records residing in existing BI and data warehousing solutions. Its app-driven approach to tackle specific challenges in sophisticated visual representations across the entire business includes:

  • Game Development: Character creation and progression are analyzed for optimal game play. QlikView tracks various in-game metrics segmenting specific groups of players, identifying what features were used or not used for future game development.
  • Fraud Detection: Fraud in MMOs is a serious threat that degrades communities and presents a potential loss of revenue. With QlikView, the company can now see who is sending it traffic and track in-game metrics that will identify the best, worst and most suspicious players, and stop fraud before it destroys its gaming community.
  • Sales and Marketing: Managing subscription business from pre-sales, box set sales, and monthly subscriptions to planning future sales based on seasonal campaigns and promotions. Using QlikView, En Masse can track purchases down to the minute to see who purchased what, when, and how. By segmenting users in its CRM system, En Masse can direct email marketing to send messages to users that are specifically tailored to their interests in the gaming world. QlikView is then used to identify which marketing campaigns are more successful than others, improving business decisions and effectiveness.

"QlikView's high functionality, ease of use, and interactive dashboard environment gives accessibility to En Masse to help users make more informed and timely business decisions," said Jeff Boehm, vice president of global product marketing at QlikTech. "This is a great example of how QlikView's purpose built apps can improve decision making in all areas of a company, when put in the hands of the business users who know the implications of their data discoveries best."

In the future, En Masse plans to further capitalize on QlikView's collaborative capabilities so users can easily share their observations with one another. With QlikView, business users can create objects in a server-based application (e.g. charts, graphs, tables, list boxes, etc.) and easily make these objects available to others, who can then modify and discuss them in shared sessions.
