With the increasing amount of valuable data that companies have access to the need for tools visualizing this data have reached a wider group of users, many of which are not tech-savvy. Self-service Business Intelligence applications aim to meet this need and many guidelines regarding the general design of Business Intelligence have been produced in recent years. In this thesis some of these guidelines are interpreted and applied during the development of a Qlik Sense application for the Device Connection Platform department at Ericsson. The purpose of this thesis is to produce more specific guidelines that aim to complement existing general guidelines on Self-service Business Intelligence design; guidelines that should be taken into account when developing Qlik Sense applications. As a result, five guidelines that concerns conditional dimensions, screen resolutions, naming conventions for master items, the data layer and Qlik Sense conventions for visualizations are presented. Pros and cons regarding these guidelines are discussed along with alternative approaches. The conclusion states that the general guidelines interpreted in this project work were helpful for the workflow and readability of the application, but that more specific guidelines such as the ones presented in the result could be well needed when it comes to customizabil ity and flexibility for end users. / Allt eftersom mängden värdefull data som företag har tillgång till ökar har behovet av verktyg som visualiserar dessa data nått en bredare grupp användare, där många är mindre tekniskt kunniga. Self-service Business Intelligence applikationer syftar till att möta detta behov och många generella riktlinjer för hur sådana applikationer ska designas har tagits fram under senare år. I denna rapport blir dessa riktlinjer tolkade och därefter applicerade under tiden av skapandet av en Self-service Business Intelligence applikation i mjukvaran Qlik Sense och för Ericsson Device Connection Platform. Syftet med rapporten är att utforma och presentera specifika riktlinjer för Qlik Sense att användas som komplement till de existerande och mer generella riktlinjerna för design av Self-service Business Intelligence i allmänhet. Rapportens resultat består av fem riktlinjer som avser villkorliga dimensioner, skärmupplösning, namnkonventioner för original, datalagret och Qlik Sense egna konventioner för visualiseringar. Föroch nackdelar med de framtagna riktlinjerna diskuteras tillsammans med alternativa tillvägagångssätt. Vi drar slutsatsen att de generella riktlinjerna som tolkats genom projektet i denna rapport var speciellt hjälpfulla för att uppnå läsbarhet och ett bra arbetsflöde för slutanvändaren i applikationen. Vidare konstateras att fler mjukvaruspecifika riktlinjer kan vara välbehövliga när det kommer till anpassningsbarhet av applikationer och flexibilitet för slutanvändare.

Valet av IT-system kan vara en omfattande process som trots många iblandade kan resultera i ett misslyckade, vilket kan leda till stora och oförutsedda kostnader. Om jämförelsen inte sker enligt en säker och beprövad process är risken större att valet blir fel då det snarare grundas på känsla och marknadsföring än en opartisk jämförelse. Företaget Genero Solutions erbjuder en IT-lösning för säljstyrning som bland annat tillhandahåller rapporter över fältsäljkårers besöksstatistik och ser ett behov av ett bättre rapportsystem som ger granskare av dessa rapporter större frihet vid exploatering av data. Många leverantörer av IT-system inom Business Intelligence erbjuder den här typen av rapportsystem, vilket gör det än svårare att välja vilket system som passar Genero Solutions bäst. Eftersom det finns en väldig mängd av dessa system är risken stor att valet blir fel om jämförelsen inte sker enligt en säker process, utan istället grundas på känsla och marknadsföring. Denna rapport innehåller en metod som jämför tre olika rapportsystem baserad på en etablerad jämförelsemetod för att undersöka möjligheten att åstadkomma ett vetenskapligt resultat. Jämförelsen granskar de tre Business Intelligence systemen Microsoft Powber BI, The Diver Solution och Qlik Sense och baseras på Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Rapporten resulterar i motiverad metod som är lämpad för undersökningen samt en rekommendation till Genero Solutions av det rapportsystem som är bäst lämpat. / Selecting the right IT-system might be an extensive process which, despite many people involved, might lead to a failure which can mean high and unforeseen costs. If the comparison of systems isn’t done according to a proven method there is a higher risk that the final choice of IT-system is based on emotions and good marketing rather than a straight and fair comparison. Genero Solutions offers an IT-solution for sales control which is partly providing reports containing statistics from the sales force on field. Genero Solutions is in need of a better reporting system which gives the inspector of the reports more flexibility when exploring data. There are many providers within Business Intelligence who is offering this kind of reporting service, which makes it even harder choosing the system fitting Genero Solutions needs. This report develops a method which is based on scientific theories and the established comparison method Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), aiming to achieve a scientifically proved result and apply it by examine the Business Intelligence systems Microsoft Power BI, The Diver Solution and Qlik Sense The result of this report in a motivated method that is suited for this investigation and also a recommendation for which system that is best suited for Genero Solutions needs.
