Consultant - An Introduction

In this chapter, we'll talk about consultancy and its importance, and how wearing the hat of a consultant helps in delivering successful projects. This chapter is useful for developers who aren't aware of who a consultant is, and what is expected from a consultant.

This chapter assumes the reader is conversant with basic Qlik development and is aware of terminologies used in business analytics. The BI market is growing at a phenomenal rate, and hence it is natural that consultants will play a big role. The figures quoted by Gartner for Analytics are mind-boggling indeed.

Gartner says that the Worldwide Business Intelligence and Analytics Market will reach $18.3 billion in 2017.

  • Understanding who is a consultant
  • Importance of being a consultant
  • Difference between a developer and a consultant
