QlikTech Launches 'Change Their World' Social Responsibility Program

RADNOR, Pa., Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- QlikTech, a leading business intelligence company, today announced the launch of its "Change Their World" global corporate social responsibility platform.  The company kicked off the program at its recent Interaqtions all employee meeting in Miami with a service event to provide 600 backpacks of school uniforms for kids in need and a 3x corporate match program for all contributions made by employees totaling over $55,000.

At the event, each QlikTech employee packed a new school backpack for a specific child's size requirements.  It included week's supply of school uniforms made up of 3 tops, 3 pants, & 5 sets of underwear & socks.  The backpacks were distributed in conjunction with the Neat Stuff organization, which has provided approximately 37,000 new wardrobes to kids along with feelings of self pride and dignity to young victims of crime, poverty and homelessness. You can watch a video of the children receiving their QlikTech-filled backpacks see the "QlikView's School Uniform Distribution Project 2010" album on Facebook or learn more at www.NeatStuffHelpsKids.org

Following the announcement that the company would provide three times the amount donated by employees for Haiti relief efforts, the funds were committed to Project HOPE (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere).  The organization provides medical training and health education, as well as conducting humanitarian assistance programs in more than 35 countries.  QlikTech's donation of over $55,000 represents contributions from employees from countries around the world.

"QlikTech has always had a special corporate culture and bringing all of the great work that has been done in different countries under one unified purpose and global mission with Change Their World can only help to perpetuate and grow these efforts," commented Lars Bjork, CEO at QlikTech. "The fact that we had all of our employees around the world together for a day of service to help the kids of Miami so soon after the situation in Haiti made us want to do even more.  I'm totally gratified by the way this diverse employee base comes together as a single force to help those in need."

QlikTech's Change Their World global corporate social responsibility platform is focused on delivering information global healthcare, environmental and humanitarian organizations need to ensure the efficacy and efficiency of their programs.  From tracking global sources of clean water and supporting research to cure disease to lending a hand in programs in the own community, QlikTech employees, partners and customers create a powerful community of giving.  Philanthropic organizations interested in gaining a recently announced Change Their World grant for free QlikView software and services can apply at http://www.qlikview.com/changetheirworld.
