As February is traditionally the month to show you care about somebody you love, we are giving some love to our Qlik Data Integration Client-Managed portfolio with several Service Releases.

Qlik’s entry at the Gartner Analytics and BI Bake-Off 2023 focused on this year’s theme around flooding and its impact globally across a variety of aspects like population and agriculture at risk.

The popular Data Visualization Showcase re-launched this week. Updates include several new visualizations and tips, plus additional resources highlighting Qlik’s unique and powerful data visualization capabilities. 

Qlik is pleased to announce the initial release of a business glossary which will be available to all Qlik Cloud Analytics customers as part of their existing subscription.  Built upon the Qlik Cloud Catalog framework, users can now access a single, easily-accessible repository of business terms and descriptions.  This ensures that everyone in the organization has the same understanding of key business terms.

Attention all Qlikkies and innovation seekers! It's time to proudly present the latest upgrade to Qlik Application Automation. The year's first major release is off to a flying start with new connectors, feature enhancements, and more templates that improve your development productivity. So put your seat backs and tray tables upright, buckle up, and sit tight as you embark on the next leg of you data and analytics automation journey.

Now you can take advantage of features previously released Qlik Cloud, now available in client-managed.   Our newest release of Qlik Sense includes expanded Augmented Analytics capabilities, new visualizations, and added connectivity.

Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access now supports SAP SQL and SAP BW connectors, providing an encrypted connection to Qlik Cloud via Data Gateway. This enables Qlik Sense SaaS applications in Qlik Cloud to securely access and analyze SAP SQL and SAP BW data that resides behind your organization's firewall, without compromising your enterprises' network security.

As you may know, Qlik recently launched Qlik Cloud Data Integration, and we had customers ask us about how they could benefit from both offerings. Our traditional on-premise, client-managed offering is still the same. The Qlik-managed solution offers an expanded set of use cases, including process orchestration, cloud sources, and more. Specifically, client-managed Qlik Compose and the new Qlik-managed Transformation Service are complementary offerings.

The growing volume of data coupled with increased business use cases for analytics has created problems for data teams, especially around modeling, transforming, and interpreting data. Enterprises seek to democratize data pipeline development so more people in different data roles can participate in that process and do it in a way that's manageable, scalable, and robust.

Data teams are looking to automate their data lakes, data vaults, and data marts and choose a solution that helps them manage the end-to-end data lifecycle. Other teams prioritize greater flexibility with fit-for-purpose transformations that automate data marts without creating a data vault.

Happy New Year Qlik Community!

Throughout the 2022 Holiday season, we highlighted our data visualizations in the annual December tip-a-day on LinkedIn. Because this has been such an impactful, and positive experience for our followers, here is a summary of all the tips we shared.

Qlik Cloud Government releases two features into the platform: Customer Managed Keys  for enhanced data encryption and GeoOperations for advanced mapping and geographical analysis.
