This month we made the decision to make QVExcel freely available. This wasn't an easy decision but reflects our commitment to our flagship product QVSource and our desire to ensure that we provide the best service possible to users of this tool.

You can read the official statement on the website and it is also reproduced below. As noted we are open to conversations with other companies about developing QVExcel further and also discussions regarding providing bespoke support and development to enterprise customers.

It's also possible that we will secure the resources ourselves in the future to re-release a commercially supported version on general release - however for the time being we felt this was the best choice and rather than removing the product altogether, should allow many users to make use of the tool.

QVExcel is now completely free to download and use!

We made this decision in July 2012 after many years of developing and promoting the product. The primary reason for this is that we would now like to focus our attention on our flagship product QVSource. As a small company dividing our attention across both products means we cannot sustain our hard earned reputation for superior products and support to our customers.

We still strongly believe in the potential of QVExcel and feel that the current version should meet the needs of 90% of the intended user base. Please note that we will continue to support any current customers who have paid for support or alternatively offer a refund.

If you represent an enterprise who would like to use QVExcel but would not do so under a free arrangement please contact us - we would be happy to discuss the possibility of a paid bespoke support agreement tailored to your needs.

We are also open to talking to other companies with QlikView and software development expertise who would like to collaborate on taking the product forward.

Thanks,

Industrial CodeBox.

We have just pushed out a new release of QVSource to our existing users - to get it just click the 'Update Check' button on the About tab of the main QVSource window (as illustrated here).

Some of the updates in this version:

• New tables in the Google Analytics connector for listing the sites and segments you have access to. We have a cool new demo which shows how to use this to generate a QlikView dashboard for the sites you like without having to know the profile id's.
• New User and CommentsForItem tables in the Facebook Fan Page connector make this connector a lot more powerful and flexible now. It also now can return all comments for an item where as previously it was only the subset which was shown in the Facebook web interface.
• The YouTube connector has a load of new tables and features!
• You can now set a custom folder for the QVSource cache on the About tab of the main QVSource window. This will allow, for example, multiple QVSource instances to share the results of sentiment API calculations.
• Added User, Topics, InfluencedBy and InfluencerOf tables to the Klout connector so there is now a load more information you can get for the Twitter users in your data.
• The Twitter connector has been updated to match some recent changes made to the Twitter API.
• The MongoDB connector is now able to access sub documents.

We are continuing to work really hard on the product and plan to have it commercially available by mid to end of November.
