  Are you still looking to convert your QlikView environment to Qlik Cloud, but find the concept of migrating each of your apps daunting? Then Qlik has the answer for you.

  QlikView to Qlik Sense Converter Tool – SaaS in 60

  We've introduced the QlikView to Qlik Sense Converter Tool (QV2QS), which delivers ready-to-use Qlik Sense apps complete with sheets, layout, expressions, and data. Better yet, it deploys them directly to your Qlik Cloud tenant, all of which reduces your conversion times from hours to minutes. 

   

  What's included?

  Developed and supported by Qlik, QV2Q can:

  • Convert .qvw files to Qlik Sense apps, including complete sheets, layout, styling, expressions, and 25+ object types
  • Recreate sheet layouts 1:1, preserving the position and formatting of your QlikView visualizations
  • Bridge the feature parity gap and convert alternate states, conditional show/hide, cycle or drill-down groups, and more!
  • Deploy directly to Qlik Cloud with data reload
  • Produce an Excel report and an HTML executive summary dashboard
  • Support single-app and parallel batch conversion

   

  Why use QV2QS?

  While other converters produce master items from a subset of charts and tables (no sheets, no layout, no text objects, buttons, containers, or backgrounds), QV2QS delivers complete, ready-to-use apps. 

  Not only that, but migrating to Qlik Cloud using QV2Q2 will also enable you to:

  • Preserve dashboards and expressions while unlocking Qlik Answers, Qlik Predict, Qlik MCP, Qlik Automate, and the Qlik Reporting Service
  • Eliminate servers, patching, and legacy licensing costs
  • Compress months of work into days with familiar dashboards available on day one
  • Redesign at your own pace with no big bang required

   

  Are you ready to get started?

  QV2QS is built for Qlik consultants, QlikView developers, Qlik Sense developers, BI teams, and IT administrators migrating from QlikView to Qlik Sense. QV2QS runs as a standalone Windows executable with two interfaces: a guided web-based wizard and a command-line interface.

  Building a World Cup Bracket App powered by Qlik

  With less than 50 days to go before the 2026 World Cup kicks off across the US, Canada, and Mexico, I wanted to share a project I've been working on t... Show More

  With less than 50 days to go before the 2026 World Cup kicks off across the US, Canada, and Mexico, I wanted to share a project I've been working on that brings together a few pieces of the Qlik platform I think work really well together: Choose Your Champion 2026.

  It's a web app where anyone can fill out their World Cup bracket, get AI-powered predictions for every possible matchup in the tournament powered by Qlik Predict, explore historical World Cup data, and compete on a leaderboard as the competition unfolds.

  You can try it here: https://webapps.qlik.com/choose-your-champion-2026/index.html#/ 

  

  The app is powered by Qlik, with Qlik Cloud Analytics for the data model and Historical Analysis, Qlik Predict for the matchup predictions, and various Qlik APIs to wire everything into a React front-end.

  In this post, I'll walk through how the predictions work under the hood, because that was the most interesting piece to build.

  What's in the app:

  Choose Your Champion is broken into 4 parts:

  • Build a bracket: Pick your group stage winners, advance teams through the knockout rounds, and lock in your champion.

   

  • Check the predictions: For every possible matchup in the tournament, the app surfaces a Qlik Predict generated win probability for each team plus a draw probability. When you're unsure about a matchup, you can pull up the prediction and use it to decide which team advances.

  

  

   

  • Explore historical World Cup data: The app includes various visualizations to help you uncover insights from past tournaments: goals, top scorers, host nation performance, biggest upsets. All powered by the associative engine.

  

   

  • Leaderboard: As real matches get played in June and July, submitted brackets are scored automatically and players are ranked in the leaderboard table.

  

   

  Under the hood: how the predictions work

  This was the fun part. The goal was simple, given two national teams, predict the outcome of a hypothetical match (team A wins / draw / team B wins), but the work that makes the predictions actually useful is mostly in the data, not the model (thanks to no-code ML with Qlik Predict).

  1. The training dataset

  I started with every international football match result from 1872 to March 2026. There's a well-maintained open dataset on GitHub (credit: martj42/international_results) that gets updated after every international window, about 49,000 matches in total.

  From that raw history, I built a training dataset focused on the modern era (2010 onwards) and only competitive matches (qualifiers, continental tournaments, World Cup finals). Friendlies got filtered out because they're noisy since teams often don't play their A squads, and the stakes don't match what happens in a real tournament.

  That left me with around 9,400 training rows, each representing a real historical match with a known result, enriched with 27 features describing both teams' state going into that match:

  • Elo ratings for both teams
  • FIFA rankings and points snapshot to the match date
  • Rolling 10-match form per team: win rate, goals for, goals against, goal difference
  • Head-to-head history in the last 10 meetings
  • Context flags: neutral venue, tournament tier, cross-confederation
  • World Cup pedigree: a score rewarding teams for deep runs in past tournaments, with more recent success weighted heavier

   

  2. ML Experiment

  Once the training CSV was in shape, I uploaded it to Qlik Predict, pointed at the result column as the target, and let it do its thing. This is where Qlik Predict really shines, zero code needed. No Python notebooks, no sklearn, no hyperparameter grids to tune. You just upload your data, pick a target, and it does the heavy lifting with full explainability on the outcomes and what drives the predictions.

  Qlik Predict runs multiple algorithms in parallel: LightGBM, CatBoost, XGBoost, Random Forest, and a few others, tunes their hyperparameters, and picks the best performer by F1.

  

  On my first run, I left all the columns in the dataset checked, including the team name columns (team_a, team_b). When I looked at the SHAP importance chart afterward, team_b and team_a were ranking as the #2 and #3 most influential features, meaning the model was essentially learning "team X usually wins" rather than learning from the engineered features.

  I created a new version, went back to the Data tab, unchecked the team name columns and a few date fields (which were also ranking higher than they should), and re-ran the experiment. Qlik Predict automatically dropped several more low-importance features during training, leaving a clean, focused feature set. The F1 did not change a lot (stayed at ~0.50), but the SHAP chart now showed the model leaning on exactly the signals we want:

  1. elo_diff
  2. rank_diff
  3. is_neutral
  4. h2h_team_a_advantage
     etc...

  

   

  A few other calls that mattered:

  • Filtering to competitive matches only. A friendly between a top side's B squad and a mid-tier opponent tells you almost nothing about what happens in a World Cup group stage game.
  • Exponential decay on World Cup pedigree. A deep run in 1970 still counts, but less than one in 2022.
  • Removing rows with too many missing features. FIFA rankings don't go back to the 90s for every team, so some rows had to get dropped.

   

  3. The apply dataset

  Training gives you a model and to use it, you need an apply dataset with new rows you want predictions for.

  For Choose Your Champion, I generated every possible pairing of the 48 qualified teams, which comes out to 1,128 unique matchups. Each row has the same 27 features as the training dataset, but computed as a current snapshot: each team's Elo today, their current FIFA ranking, their most recent 10-match form, and so on.

  I fed that into the deployed model and got back a probability distribution for every matchup: P(team_a_win), P(draw), P(team_b_win).

  

  The web app

  The web app is a React front-end that connects to the Qlik tenant over anonymous access via @qlik/api, so users never see a login screen or have to authenticate against a tenant. The bracket UI pulls predictions from the Qlik Sense data model, so whenever a user opens a matchup, they're looking at data straight from Qlik.

  For the historical World Cup section, I used a mix of @qlik/embed components when I needed a quick, ready-to-use chart, and custom nebula.js + picasso.js visualizations when I needed more control over the styling to match the app's look and feel. Both approaches work against the same underlying Qlik Analytics app, so everything stays consistent and governed in one place.

  

   

  A few takeaways

  If you're thinking about building something similar, a few things worth keeping in mind:

  Spend the time on feature engineering. The difference between a model that predicts noise and one that predicts football is almost entirely in the features. Qlik Predict handles algorithm selection and tuning well, but it can only work with what you feed it.

  The integration is where Qlik Predict pays off. Once a model is deployed, scoring a new dataset and pulling scores back into a Qlik Cloud Analytics app takes one load script. No Python services to maintain, no separate MLOps platform to stand up, no JSON plumbing between systems. That end-to-end data prep, modeling, predictions, and analytics all living in one platform is the thing that made this project come together fast!

  Go fill out your bracket

  The World Cup starts June 11, so there's plenty of time to get your bracket in and earn your spot on the leaderboard before kickoff. If you're curious about how any of this was built, leave a comment or reach out to me directly!

  And if you want to learn more about Qlik Predict and start using it, visit: https://www.qlik.com/us/products/qlik-predict 

  P.S: I have attached both Training and Apply datasets if you'd like to use them in your own Qlik Predict experiment.

  
  Thank you!

  Salesforce is rolling out mandatory security updates to how connected apps handle OAuth authentication.

   

  What does this mean for me?

  To keep your Qlik Automate Salesforce connector working after Tuesday, 5th May 2026, you'll need to take a quick, one-time action: update a setting in your connection and re-authenticate to Salesforce.

  This cannot be done automatically, nor can it be done before the release. A manual step is required on or after the 5th of May.

   

  Why is this happening?

  Salesforce has updated its OAuth security requirements for connected apps. You can read Salesforce's full announcement here: Mandatory Security Updates for Connected Apps.

  Qlik Automate has updated the Salesforce connector to comply with these new security requirements. However, because of the nature of this change, existing connections cannot be migrated automatically.

   

  What action do I need to take?

  Follow these steps after the release on Tuesday, the 5th of May:

  1. Open your Salesforce connection settings, navigate to the Salesforce connection in Qlik Automations, and open its configuration.
     
     
  2. Add your domain. In the connection settings, locate the Enhanced_domain field (an existing input field) and enter your Salesforce org's custom domain.
     
     Make sure to include the "my" suffix if your domain has it. By using this, the 'environment' input is ignored.
     
     Format: https://{enhanced_domain}.salesforce.com.
     
     If you're unsure of your domain, you can find it in your Salesforce org under Setup → My Domain.
     
     
     
  3. Re-authenticate. Once your domain is entered, you'll be prompted to log in to Salesforce again and authorize the updated app. Complete the login flow to re-establish the connection.
     
     
  4. Verify the connection. Run a test automation that uses the Salesforce connection to confirm everything is working correctly.

   

  What happens if I don't act?

  If you don't complete these steps after the release date, your Salesforce automations will stop working and return a 401 Unauthorized error. No data will be lost, but you will need to complete the steps above to restore access.

   

   

  If you have any questions, we're happy to assist. Reply to this blog post or take your queries to our Support Chat.

  From Dashboards to Decisions: What the Agentic Era Means for LATAM Universities

  Something quietly remarkable happened in the first quarter of 2026. While the public conversation was still asking whether AI agents w... Show More

  Something quietly remarkable happened in the first quarter of 2026. While the public conversation was still asking whether AI agents would really change business, Gartner reported that 40% of enterprise applications are expected to integrate task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% a year ago. G2's August 2025 survey of enterprise buyers found that 57% of companies already had AI agents in production, not as chatbots, but as autonomous systems executing workflows, monitoring compliance, and coordinating decisions across business functions.

  For those of us who work at the intersection of data, analytics, and higher education, this isn't a distant trend. It's a curriculum question.

  The shift is not from manual to automated. It's from tools to teammates.

  For two decades, the defining promise of business intelligence has been "self-service analytics", empower every user to query, visualize, and explore data themselves. In the agentic era, the paradigm changes. AI agents are not a new tool in the analyst's toolkit; they are analysts. They plan multi-step tasks, call APIs, reason across data sources, and increasingly execute actions without waiting for a human prompt.

  At Qlik Connect 2026, the message was direct: enterprises are closer to agentic AI than they think, because the foundation they already built, governed data, trusted metrics, clear business logic — is exactly what agents need to operate reliably. In February, the general availability of Qlik's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server made it possible for third-party assistants, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT, to access governed enterprise data through Qlik's APIs rather than scraping dashboards. The dashboard is no longer the endpoint. It's one of many surfaces where a decision gets made.

  The new skills gap is not technical. It's architectural.

  Here is the uncomfortable reality: Gartner projects that over 40% of agentic AI projects will fail by 2027, not because the models aren't capable, but because legacy systems, poor data architectures, and weak governance can't support autonomous execution. Deloitte's 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise report, based on a survey of 3,235 leaders across 24 countries, found that only 25% of organizations have moved 40% or more of their AI pilots into production, and just 21% have a mature governance model for autonomous AI agents.

  The scarce capability is no longer "who can build a dashboard." It is:

  • Who can design a KPI dictionary an agent can trust?
  • Who understands bounded autonomy, where humans set the rules and agents execute within them?
  • Who can distinguish explainable reasoning from confident hallucination?
  • Who can architect a data product that an agent can consume without a human in the middle?

  These are not niche skills reserved for data engineers. They are the new baseline for anyone graduating into a workforce where, by 2028, Gartner estimates 15% of day-to-day decisions will be made autonomously.

  The LATAM opportunity

  This is where Latin America has a genuine strategic window. Our universities often face the critique of "catching up" on technology adoption. In the agentic era, that framing is misleading, the agentic shift resets the starting line for everyone. Institutions, anywhere in the world, that graduate students fluent in data governance, explainable AI, and human-agent collaboration will be the ones supplying the talent that enterprises are already scrambling to hire.

  According to DataCamp's 2026 State of Data & AI Literacy Report, 88% of enterprise leaders say basic data literacy is important for day-to-day work, 60% report a data skills gap in their organization, and organizations with mature literacy programs are nearly twice as likely to see strong AI returns. The companies that will hire our graduates next year are telling us, in plain terms, what they need.

  What universities can do now

  Three practical moves that don't require launching a new degree program:

  1. Teach governance alongside analytics. Every data course should include a module on trust, lineage, and explainability, not as an afterthought, but as the foundation that makes agents usable.
  2. Shift from tool training to platform fluency. Students don't need to master one vendor; they need to understand how governed data, semantic layers, and agent orchestration fit together.
  3. Build industry-embedded learning paths. Programs like the Qlik Academic Program exist precisely because real agentic work happens on real data with real stakes. Classroom theory is not enough.

  The agentic era will not be defined by which models win. It will be defined by which people, and which regions,learned to work alongside them first.

  By giving students, professors, and universities free access to analytics software, learning content, and certifications, the Qlik Academic Program helps education stay aligned with the data trends shaping 2026 and prepares learners for the jobs of tomorrow.

  Enhancing the multilingual experience with automatic locale detection

  Introduction In our increasingly globalized environment, enabling seamless multilingual support in your Qlik Sense apps is no longer a nice-to-have - ... Show More

  Introduction

  In our increasingly globalized environment, enabling seamless multilingual support in your Qlik Sense apps is no longer a nice-to-have - it’s expected.

  Many implementations require users to manually select their desired language to display labels and content. In a helpful Qlik Community post, Jennel guides users through building a multilingual Qlik Sense app using an Excel-based translation table and manual language selection via dropdowns.

  While Jennel’s solution is powerful and flexible, it relies on users making that initial language choice. In this article, I’ll show how to streamline the user experience by automatically detecting a user’s preferred language - based on their Qlik Cloud profile - and dynamically adapting the app accordingly using the GetUserAttr('userLocale') function.

   

  How Jennel’s Approach Works

  Jennel’s method involves:

  • Preparing an external source (e.g., an Excel file) that stores translations for labels and interface elements.
  • Loading this translation table into the app.
  • Letting users manually switch languages using a selection control such as a filter pane.
  • Using conditional expressions in the UI to swap labels and dimensional headings based on the selected language.

  This approach, while widely used, introduces a required step - it depends on users selecting their preferred language every time they open the app.

   

  Enhancing the Experience with Automatic Locale Detection

  My solution builds on Jennel’s foundation with one key improvement: the app automatically reads the user’s preferred language from their Qlik Cloud settings via the newly added attribute to the GetUserAttr: userLocale. This eliminates manual language selection and delivers an interface that adapts instantly and seamlessly to each user.

   

  Technical Breakdown

  In the Data Load script, nothing really changes from Jennel’s approach: I loaded an external file containing the required translations:

  

  The magic happens in the front-end part of the analytics app. Everything that should be translated uses the same approach that Jennel stated in her article: a variable with a Set Analysis filter containing the ID of that specific label/title/subtitle.

  ={<Index={46}>} $(vLanguageString)

  The magic is in the variable; $(vLanguageString), in fact, is defined as:

  

  vLanguageString = Only({<Language={"$(vUserLanguage)"}>} Translation)

  Please note the use of another variable called “vUserLanguage”: the usage of a nested variable allows to manage situations in which the user locale is not included in the translations table. Let’s say a user has Qlik Cloud set in Spanish but Spanish translations are not available: in this case the app would display everything in English despite the user locale selection.

  The variable “vUserLanguage” is defined as follows:

  

  vUserLanguage = if(count({<Lang={"$(=GetUserAttr('userLocale'))"}>} Lang) = 0, 'en', GetUserAttr('userLocale'))

  As you can see, I used GetUserAttr(‘userLocale’) to fetch the preferred language set by the user in their Qlik Cloud profile. Doing this, automatically sets the translation to the user’s preference without any manual intervention.

  The field “Lang” is in a dedicated table I created in the Load Script that contains all the languages available in the translations table:

  

  To give users feedback regarding the current language, I used a flag image conditionally displayed in the app by leveraging a Layout Container. Layout Container, in fact, can conditionally display elements inside them: I then defined the conditional display rule as follows.

  =$(vUserLanguage) = 'de' for German Flag

  =$(vUserLanguage) = 'en' for English Flag

  =$(vUserLanguage) = 'it' for Italian flag

  An alternative solution could be to use a KPI with a conditional background image, using the string returned by GetUserAttr as part of the image name. Note that I used the “vUserLanguage” variable to ensure that we catch the default in case user locale is not available in the translations table.

   

  The result

  Accessing the app with locale set to “English” displays all labels and titles in English:

  

  Let’s go to my Qlik Cloud profile and changing locale to “Italian”:

  

  Re-accessing the app displays labels and titles in Italian (check the flag on top right!):

  

  Easy, without any additional effort!

  Hope this article inspires you to build multilingual apps with this new feature!

  We've made an update to Qlik Answers that delivers faster responses to your questions. See What's New in Qlik Cloud for the announcement.

   

  What changed

  The Data Analyst Agent in Qlik Answers now handles semantic search, expression building, and chart generation within a single, unified flow. When you ask a question, the Answers Agent and the Data Analyst Agent work together to deliver your response, and you'll see both reflected in the interface as Qlik Answers responds.

  The practical effect: Qlik Answers can take your question, figure out what to search for, build the right expression, and generate the right visualization in a single connected process rather than as separate steps. Complex questions, the kind that involve comparisons across dimensions, multiple measures, or specific time periods, benefit the most because the agent can hold the full shape of your question in mind while deciding how to answer it.

   

  See it in action

  Here's an example of how the same question flows through Qlik Answers. Previously, the response involved several specialized agents handing work back and forth. With the updated architecture, the question is resolved through a more direct flow, and you'll see the response come back faster.

   

  

  Try it yourself! Ask any question you often repeat, especially one with comparisons or multiple parts. You'll notice Qlik Answers gets to the response faster.

   

  What this means for you

  You will see the difference the next time you open Qlik Answers, but everything else you rely on in Qlik Answers (your data, your spaces, your permissions, or the way you ask questions) will continue to work exactly as it did before the update went live.

   

  What's next

  We'll continue to evolve how the agents work as we add new capabilities, and we'll keep sharing what's changing along the way.

  We'd love to hear how the updated experience feels in your day-to-day use. Reach out to your Qlik contact or share your thoughts in the community.

   

  Thank you for choosing Qlik,

Qlik’s intuitive interface and strong analytics capabilities make it an ideal tool for teaching students how to visualize, interpret, and communicate healthcare data effectively. By working with real-world datasets and applied scenarios, students develop the analytical thinking and problem-solving skills needed in today’s healthcare environment.

   

  Integrating Qlik into the Classroom

  Qlik has become an important part of Katherine’s teaching strategy through active, hands-on exercises that allow students to analyze healthcare trends, public health indicators, and social determinants of health. Students engage with dashboards, explore datasets, and learn how analytics can inform better care delivery, workflow improvement, and population health decision-making. She also encourages students to explore Qlik training opportunities and certifications, helping them build marketable skills that strengthen their confidence and career readiness.

   

  Real-World Impact: Internships and Job Opportunities

  Many of Katherine’s students have successfully used their Qlik experience to pursue internships, practicum opportunities, and careers in healthcare analytics, informatics, quality improvement, and hospital operations.

  Qlik Academic Program

  Welcome, Qlik Academic Program Educator Ambassador 2026: Manikant Roy!

  I feel pleased to introduce Manikant Roy, Assistant Professor, Business Analytics at the Jaipuria Institute of Management in Noida, India. Manikant’s ... Show More

  I feel pleased to introduce Manikant Roy, Assistant Professor, Business Analytics at the Jaipuria Institute of Management in Noida, India.

  Manikant’s journey with Qlik began long before he entered the academia world. It was at the start of his professional career in 2012 as a Business Intelligence Consultant that he worked extensively as a developer using QlikView. This early exposure to analytics and data visualization helped him understand the importance of data-driven decision-making in organizations.

  In 2016, he became associated with the Qlik Academic Program through interactions with Qlik Academic Program Manager, Pankaj Muthe. That connection encouraged him to bring Qlik technologies into the academic environment, and since then he has actively advocated the use of analytics and data literacy in higher education.

  Over the years, Manikant has incorporated both QlikView and Qlik Sense into his teaching. He developed semester-long courses for MBA, MSc, and BTech students covering areas such as Business Analytics, Data Visualization, and Business Intelligence. His teaching approach follows a progressive learning path where students begin with Qlik Data Literacy concepts, then move into Qlik Data Analytics fundamentals, and finally applied these concepts using Qlik Sense for business analysis and dashboard development.

  Through this hands-on approach, students learn how to visualize data effectively, communicate insights, and make data-informed decisions. They use Qlik tools to develop dashboards, analyze real-world datasets, and complete academic projects and master’s dissertations. To date, he has trained more than 400 students in analytics and data visualization using Qlik technologies.

  The impact of this learning has been very encouraging. Many students have secured internships and full-time roles in analytics and technology domains after learning these skills. Several alumni have progressed into senior technical positions in the industry, including technical leadership roles. One example is Anurag Chaudhary, a former student who is now working as a Tech Lead in a leading organisation. Such success stories highlight the importance of strong analytics education and practical exposure to modern BI tools.

  Beyond the classroom, Manikant has actively conducted workshops, faculty development programs, and mentoring sessions across various colleges and universities in India. He regularly speaks about Business Intelligence and analytics using Qlik technologies at student events, hackathons, and academic forums. These engagements help students and educators understand how analytics tools can be applied to solve real-world business challenges.

  At Jaipuria Institute of Management, Qlik technologies are integrated into the Business Analytics curriculum as an essential component of classroom learning. He encourages students to pursue certifications offered through the Qlik Academic Program, and more than 30 students from the institute have already completed certifications in Data Literacy and Data Analytics.

  Looking ahead to 2026, Manikant’s goal is to further strengthen students’ ability to work with data and apply analytics concepts to real-world scenarios. The world today is more dynamic than ever before, and continuous learning is the key to staying relevant. By engaging students in practical analytics projects, real datasets, and professional certifications, his aim is to help them build the confidence and skills required to thrive in the data-driven economy.

  From his perspective, being data-driven—both personally and professionally—is no longer a luxury but a necessity. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and analytics technologies, organizations are increasingly relying on data to guide decisions. Manikant further adds, “Students must learn how to read, interpret, and communicate insights from data. Developing the ability to “read, write, and argue with data” is an essential skill for the next generation of professionals”

  On a personal note, Manikant lives in Noida in the Delhi NCR region of India. He often says that he is a teacher by choice, not by chance. Over the years, he has mentored students from diverse backgrounds, helping them develop skills and prepare for careers in analytics and technology. Manikant strongly believes that education is one of the most meaningful ways to uplift individuals and contribute to society.

  In addition to his academic work, he has been involved in mentoring initiatives for young learners. Manikant has been recognized as a “Gems of Mentor India” by the Atal Innovation Mission under NITI Aayog for mentoring school students and encouraging them to develop digital and innovation skills aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.

  Outside the classroom, he enjoys gardening and reading classical literature. Manikant is particularly interested in philosophical reflections about life and society. Whenever possible, he enjoys taking long drives with school friends on weekends, which gives him time to reflect and reconnect.

  Manikant says, “I feel truly honored to be recognized as a Qlik Educator Ambassador after many years of advocating analytics education. Through this role, I look forward to connecting with educators across the world, learning from global best practices, and contributing to the promotion of data literacy. Empowering people with the ability to understand and use data is one of the most important educational missions of our time”

  We welcome Manikant to the Educator Ambassador Class of 2026 and wish him all the best.

  Edited 9th of April, 2026: added clarity on when exactly intervals will be converted and to what value

  Starting January 12, 2026, the 30-second interval option will no longer be available in the Qlik Automate scheduler. 

  This update prepares Qlik Automate for a future upgrade that will bring enhanced scheduling capabilities that are consistent with other Qlik products, including:

  • Support for specific days and dates
  • Configurable time windows

   

  How will this affect me?

  All automations using the 30-second interval will continue to work and run on the 30-second interval for now.

  On or after April 20, 2026, automations that still use a 30-second interval will be migrated to a 1-minute interval. For example, 35 seconds will become 1 minute, 88 seconds will become 1 minute, and 90 seconds will become 2 minutes.

   

  What actions do I need to take?

  Please review your automations that use 30-second intervals to ensure they will function properly with a 1-minute interval. 

   

  Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or address our experts directly in the Qlik Automate forum.

  Qlik, Guatemala, and a Lesson He Learned Twice: Welcome Gabriel Geovanni Navassi...

  Walk Into His Classroom

  Students walk in thinking business intelligence isn't for them. It belongs to the data scientists and tech specialists.

  Then something shifts.

  They start exploring data on their own. Asking real questions. Finding insights that matter. That moment when someone realizes they can actually think analytically, changes everything.

  Gabriel teaches Business Intelligence, Data Mining, Analytics, Operations, and Negotiation at Universidad Mariano Gálvez and Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, always connecting theory to real challenges in business and management. At San Carlos, he recently expanded into teaching People Analytics in their HR master's program, a role that's grown his reach considerably.

  But Gabriel doesn't teach software. He teaches confidence.

  "I increasingly teach analytics not only as a technical subject, but as a decision-making capability that any professional can develop," he says.

  His classes are hands-on. Students work with real scenarios: HR datasets for hiring decisions, performance metrics for strategy, problems they'll actually face at work. They compare Qlik, Tableau, Power BI, and Excel, not to memorize features, but to understand what each does best.

  Qlik holds a special place in his teaching. "It's so easy to work with that students use it for their own first findings in data." The accessibility matters. No technical walls. No endless setup. Students get to the insight fast, and that's when confidence builds. For the working professionals in his classes? Qlik becomes real competitive advantage in their current roles.

  The Lesson He Learned Twice

  Gabriel carries one hard-earned piece of wisdom he shares with every student:

  When you first use Qlik at your job, don't use it for your most important decision.

  Here's why: People get distracted by the shiny new tool. They notice the interface, the visualizations, the novelty. They're not thinking about what the data actually means. That divided attention weakens your credibility.

  Gabriel learned this the hard way, twice. Early in his career, he presented Qlik findings for critical decisions, and people got caught up watching the tool instead of listening to the analysis. 

  So now he tells students: use Qlik first for lower-stakes presentations. Build familiarity. Once people trust it, then bring it to your most important decisions. By then, they'll see past the software and actually hear what your data is saying.

  What's Coming in 2026

  Gabriel is launching a professional development program for alumni. Not a one-time graduation experience, but a real pathway for people to come back and keep learning.

  He's starting with Data Literacy and using Qlik as the entry point. "I chose Qlik for the introduction in the first stage of the program specially because it is an excellent choice for Data Literacy." Qlik's simplicity makes it the perfect gateway for professionals returning to sharpen their skills. No barriers. No intimidation. Just clarity.

  His vision for 2026 extends beyond that too. He's weaving generative AI into his teaching, so students understand how emerging tech enhances analytical thinking. He's building learning experiences that stay hands-on, tied to real challenges, focused on actually turning insights into action.

  "I have continued growing as both an educator and a consultant, especially through projects related to training systems, curriculum design, and capacity-building for institutions." For Gabriel, this work is personal.

  Why He Became an Ambassador

  Gabriel's decision to join the program is natural.

  "I genuinely believe tools like Qlik can change the way people learn, think, and make decisions. As a professor, I have always wanted my students to go beyond memorizing concepts and actually experience what it means to explore data, discover patterns, and generate insight."

  He also sees something bigger in the role: a chance to represent educators across Latin America. To show that analytics education isn't just a North American story. It's transforming classrooms in Guatemala and far beyond.

  Welcome, Gabriel

  What makes Gabriel's story worth celebrating isn't credentials or course counts. It's that he redesigned his life around what matters, and he's using that clarity to open doors for others—students discovering analytics for the first time, alumni reconnecting with the field, and a region filled with educators like him who are transforming how Latin America thinks about analytics and data.

  Because this is the story of Latin America's analytics future. It's happening in classrooms in Guatemala. It's happening with educators like Gabriel who refuse to accept that world-class analytics education happens somewhere else.

  Gabriel isn't slowing down. He's expanding.

  The real work is just beginning.

  Welcome Back Alexander Flaig – Qlik Educator Ambassador for 2026!

  The impact of this approach is already clear.

  “Since our last conversation, another student landed a role in data governance after engaging with the data literacy content in the Academic Program”, Alexander shares. “They found the Qlik learning experience fascinating — and it directly influenced their career direction”.

  It’s a simple but powerful example of how exposure to real tools and real concepts can open doors — especially in emerging areas like data governance.

  While Qlik remains a core part of the curriculum, Alexander is now taking things a step further.

  He’s redesigning his course from the ground up — with AI at the centre.

  “I’ve already started integrating more AI into the course, and the next iteration will be a full redesign”, he explains. “It’s something I want to refine through experience, but I believe it will fundamentally change how students learn analytics”.

  His goal is clear: to develop business analysts who can work with AI — while still understanding the logic behind the tools they use.

  He also brings an honest perspective on the challenges facing higher education today.

  “There was already a growing gap between what universities teach and what the job market needs. Now, with AI, we’re seeing something even bigger — knowledge itself is becoming more accessible, and some entry-level roles are starting to disappear”.

  Rather than seeing this as a threat, Alexander sees it as a necessary shift.

  He compares it to aviation:

  “Modern planes rely heavily on autopilot, but pilots still need to know how to fly. In the same way, students need to understand analytics tools — even if AI handles part of the process”.

  That balance — between automation and understanding — is becoming central to how he teaches.

  New focus: Agentic analytics and what comes next

  Looking ahead, Alexander expects analytics to evolve alongside wider changes in the economy.

  “With the rise of agentic systems, we’ll likely see new types of KPIs focused on automated or agent-driven processes. This will also lead to the emergence of ‘agent analytics’ as a field”.

  By introducing these ideas early, he’s not just teaching students how to use today’s tools — he’s preparing them for what’s coming next.

  Alongside his teaching, Alexander has also taken on a new role within the university as an AI Ambassador.

  Here, he acts as a central point of expertise, supporting how AI is introduced and managed across programmes.

  “One of my key priorities is helping ensure programmes become ‘AI-proof’ — either by integrating AI effectively or by designing ways to manage its use in academic settings”.

  After a strong experience last year, returning to the Qlik Educator Ambassador programme was a natural next step. Through this role, Alexander continues to expand awareness of Qlik in academia while deepening his own expertise.

  With a clear focus on AI, a commitment to practical learning, and a forward-looking approach to education, Alexander represents a new generation of educators — those who are not just adapting to change, but actively shaping it.

  Within the Master’s Program in Information Systems, Blerim`s students enrolled in the mandatory Business Intelligence course explore the foundations of data-driven decision-making. The course introduces a broad spectrum of business intelligence concepts, including technologies, applications, and processes that allow organizations to gather, store, access, and analyze data effectively. A strong emphasis is placed on practical applications, enabling students to work with real-world datasets and develop analytics applications that support decision-making and generate actionable insights. For example, by integrating data from sources such as Inside Airbnb, students build interactive apps that uncover patterns, explore trends, and provide meaningful recommendations based on data.

  Hands-on learning is central to Blerim’s teaching philosophy. Rather than relying solely on theoretical explanations, his courses encourage students to work directly with data, perform data exploration, design analytical workflows, and develop solutions to real-world challenges. This approach allows students to strengthen both their analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities while gaining experience with tools commonly used in industry.

  Blerim mentions that students also have the opportunity to earn industry-recognized qualifications that complement their academic studies. Through partnerships with analytics platforms such as Qlik and KNIME, his students can gain valuable credentials that enhance their professional profiles.

  Blerim also emphasizes the importance of connecting academic learning with industry practice. His courses regularly incorporate real business cases and insights from practitioners to ensure students gain exposure to real-world analytics challenges. He points out that guest lectures and workshops play an important role in this process. Recently, Stavros Orfanoudakis from Qlik delivered a workshop in the Business Intelligence course, sharing insights on the evolution of modern data platforms—from traditional data warehouses to open Lakehouse architecture. The session explored current challenges in data integration and demonstrated how organizations manage data on a scale.

  “The lecture sparked strong engagement from students, many of whom continued the discussion even after the session ended, highlighting their interest in modern analytics architectures and industry practices.” Blerim says.

  Beyond the classroom, Blerim is also actively involved in the global Qlik community. In 2025, he attended the Qlik Luminary Meetup 2025 in Lund where members of the Qlik ecosystem such as MVPs, Educator Ambassadors and Luminaries gathered to exchange ideas and discuss the latest developments in analytics. During the event, Blerim contributed as a subject matter expert in one of the workshops, collaborating with fellow educators, partners, and analytics professionals.

  Through his continued involvement in the Qlik Academic Program, Blerim remains committed to preparing students for a future where data literacy, analytics, and artificial intelligence play an increasingly central role in decision-making. By combining academic foundations with hands-on analytics projects, industry collaboration, and qualifications he continues to equip students with the skills needed to succeed in the evolving data-driven economy.

  We are proud to have Blerim Emruli as a longstanding member of the Qlik Educator Ambassador community and look forward to seeing the continued impact of his work at Lund University and beyond.
