It’s time! In August we announced Qlik Sense Cloud Business will transition to Qlik Sense Business. Now, Qlik Sense Cloud users can begin to migrate content and users to Qlik Sense Business with a Qlik Sense Business Subscription. The video above and attached PDF can guide you through that process.

 

Qlik Sense Business, Qlik’s newest SaaS offering, brings the power of Qlik’s third-generation analytics platform to groups, teams, and businesses that want to quickly get started operationalizing analytics and making data-driven decisions. All users get unmatched analytical power, with unique associative exploration and search, AI-powered insight suggestions, and app creation and data prep.  Qlik Sense Business is built on the same cloud-native architecture and highly-scalable cloud service as Qlik Sense Enterprise, ensuring the same consistent, seamless, and powerful experience for all users of cloud editions of Qlik Sense.

All Qlik Sense Cloud users (Business and Basic) must migrate their content to Qlik Sense Business by December 15, 2019, or it will be lost.

Here's what you need to know to prepare:

Qlik Sense Cloud Business Customers on Annual Subscriptions

You will receive two emails this week guiding you to set up Qlik Sense Business. The first email will explain the product change and how to set up Qlik Sense Business.  The second email will include a unique link to set up Qlik Sense Business.  Once you complete the set up process, Qlik Sense Business will be automatically configured to the same number of users and renewal date as your existing Qlik Sense Cloud Business subscription.  You can then begin moving content and adding users to complete the migration. 

You’ll have access to both Qlik Sense Cloud Business and Qlik Sense Business through December 15, 2019 to ensure ample time to smoothly transition your content and users.

If you didn’t receive your set-up email or the link in the email expired, please log a support case.

Qlik Sense Cloud Business Customers on Month-to-Month Subscriptions and Qlik Sense Cloud Basic Customers

Next month you will receive emails with information about how to sign up for a Qlik Sense Business free trial and a limited time offer for 50% off your first annual subscription of Qlik Sense Business (month-to-month subscriptions will not be available). Be sure to follow the instructions in that email to ensure you receive the discount.

Once you sign up for a Qlik Sense Business subscription, you will also have access to both Qlik Sense Cloud Business and Qlik Sense Basic through December 15, 2019 to ensure ample time to smoothly transition your content and users.

Hello,

Is there an update on the date on which the DropBox connector will be available? It seems like we should at least have a date so that we can plan our conversion.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hello,

Any update? It seems like you must have some kind of project plan with DropBox on getting the connector up and running. Could you please share a target date with us, your customers?

I have to agree, after investigating Qlik Cloud Services / Qlik Business Cloud, connectivity of flat files appears to be poor. Only option appears to be manually uploading, or using AWS S3 connector?

Hi Guys - thanks for all the comments and questions. I am being told that Dropbox should be in place shortly before the end of this year.

At this time - the solution provided by Steve is the best option.

No, the workaround proposed by Steve is broken now (read to the end of the thread). And the workaround doesn't support Excel files nor QVD files in any case.

And why should we believe the proposed schedule from your development team? In August when you announced Qlik Sense Business, it was just a couple of months away, and here we are, two months later, and we're still a couple of months away.

I suggest  that for the customers using DropBox, you postpone the forced cut-over date / shutdown date of the old system for one month after the DropBox connector is available, so your customers can test it and migrate what they have, rather than being forced to pay to develop new connectors.

Hello gentlemen! I've read a lot of comments that Dropbox connections aren't working, that's critical, because we use that a lot. If we are talking about migration such a tool should be ready before the turnaround date.
