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...

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 d... Show MoreThe 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.

Welcome Back Blerim Emruli as a 2026 Qlik Academic Program Educator Ambassador!

Show MoreWithin 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.

Upcoming changes to how CSS for custom Qlik Analytics themes is handled

Show MoreQlik is introducing changes to how custom themes in Qlik Analytics applications are handled, which may impact your CSS-styled themes if they include unsupported CSS modifications. This also applies to other means of modifying the CSS, such as the sheet input box, the Multi KPI CSS input, or any other 3rd party extension that allows CSS input.
These changes will impact both Qlik Cloud Analytics and Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
For more information about custom themes, see Uploading and managing themes.
Why are these changes being made?
These changes improve how theming works in Qlik Analytics applications, which will enable us to deliver better-looking dashboards and generally enhanced theming.
What is being changed?
We’re restructuring theme settings:
- Removal of base card CSS overrides
- A theme with the _cards:true setting gets the base styles imported as JSON into the theme
- Removal of extra title padding for objects without title in a cards theme
- Replace the following with theme JSON settings:
- padding: applied on object level; the gap between border and object
- margin: applied on sheet level; the gap between objects
And we are adding new themes:
- Foundation (default)
- New Horizon
How can I verify if my themes are affected?
- Open any app that uses your custom theme and append the following to the URL: /feature/CLIENT_TLV_1804_LESS_CARDS
This will enable the flag to run your themes with the changes before they are released. - Verify that everything looks as you expect it to
- Review your browser's developer tools for any eventual JavaScript errors
Future-proof your themes
We’ve compiled a list of supported styling options for you that can already replace the need for custom CSS. See Obsolete CSS modifications.
Additionally, see the table below for an overview of the new theme properties that you can use in your theme instead of CSS. You will first need to enable the /feature/CLIENT_TLV_1804_LESS_CARDS flag to see them in effect in the application.
Theme Option Path in theme JSON Example Sheet background sheet.backgroundColor
"sheet": { "backgroundColor": "#f2f2f2"
}Sheet margin sheet.margin
"sheet": { "margin": "10px"
}Object paddings object.padding
"object": { "padding": "20px" // or "10px 10px 5px 10px"
}Borders
object.borderWidth
"object": { "borderWidth": "1px"
}object.borderColor
"object": { "borderColor": "#d9d9d9"
}
object.borderRadius
"object": { "borderWidth": "3px"
}Shadows object.shadow.boxShadow
"object": {
"shadow": {
"boxShadow": "0px 4px 10px 0px", "boxShadowColor": "#d9d9d9"
}
}object.shadow.boxShadowColor
"object": {
"shadow": {
"boxShadow": "0px 4px 10px 0px", "boxShadowColor": "#d9d9d9"
}
}To give you more context: Document Object Model (DOM) selectors in custom CSS are not a supported pattern. While they can be helpful for customizing the look and feel of applications, the DOM is subject to change at any time. To provide your feedback, raise tickets on the Qlik Ideation portal when you need custom CSS customization. This helps prioritize supported customization options to add to the platform.
What action do I need to take and when?
Qlik Cloud will see the changes on or after June 1st, 2026, while Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows will be aligned in the November 2026 release.
While we do not expect your themes to be affected, we recommend testing them at the earliest. See the How can I verify if my themes are affected? section.
If you have any questions, we're happy to assist. Reply to this blog post or take your queries to our Support Chat.

Show MoreAngelika is based in the Netherlands and teaches at the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam (HVA). She remains the driving force behind the Minor in Data & Analytics, where she seamlessly embeds Qlik into her curriculum. Her mission is clear: to empower students with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to find their own path in the ever-evolving data and AI landscape. This year we even have a Guest lecture from Igor Alcantara Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP live in Amsterdam, where he will be attending live and give a lecture about Qlik Predict and Qlik Answers. The power of the Qlik Community stands out where we all can work together and help students to grow in the field of Data &AI.
In 2025 and 2026, Angelika focused on developing various trainings through her work with the BDC Academy and for her projects at the Union where she works as an advisor and trainer. Her teaching philosophy continues to reflect her signature motto: “Think big, act small, scale fast”—encouraging her students to start smart and aim high. She’s also writing her second book with former Chief Learning Officer at Qlik Kevin Hanegan which will be a second version of the book Data Literacy in Practice which was launched on the 30th of November 2022 and has been sold over 5000 times across the world.
Angelika’s impact speaks for itself—nearly 40% of her students are now working in data-related roles, with some even leading IT departments where Qlik plays an integral role. Her classroom is a launchpad for real-world careers, and her students’ success stories are a testament to the practical and inspiring education she provides.
A true data advocate, Angelika believes that Data & AI Literacy is more vital than ever. In her words:
“Analytics is no longer a 'nice to have'—it’s a must. A Data & AI strategy, trusted data, and strong governance must be part of every organization’s roadmap. Only then can Data & AI thrive and deliver meaningful insights.”
She continues to challenge her students and organizations and her students to look at AI as a subset (advanced) of Data Literacy, as true AI Literacy requires Data Literacy, therefore it can't be seen as separate areas.
Angelika's dedication goes far beyond the classroom. She recently collaborated with her customer Van Oord on a powerful Qlik app that was spotlighted on the qlik.org platform by Julie Kae. This same project earned Van Oord the Transformation Award at Qlik Connect—a real-world success story that she proudly shares with her students as a source of inspiration and motivation.
When asked why she continues to serve as an Educator Ambassador, Angelika answered simply and sincerely:
“I just love the program. It gives my students the opportunity to get excited about Qlik Sense—just like I did—and bring that knowledge into the companies they work for.”
We’re proud to have Angelika as part of our community and look forward to another impactful year of collaboration. Her work continues to bridge academia and industry, building the next generation of data-literate leaders.

Show MoreQlik is improving how the Qlik Cloud platform handles themes and extensions. As part of this transition, existing themes and extensions are being moved to a new service.
What does this mean for me?
While the migration has been ongoing in the backend for some time, we are now surfacing a Migration status column in your Qlik Cloud Administration center. This status message will help you identify whether you need to take action or if the theme or extension has already been migrated successfully.
The column is temporary and will be removed once the migration work is completed.
How the migration works
Starting from last year (November 17th), themes and extensions are automatically migrated to the new service if:
- They are being newly uploaded
- They are actively in use, meaning an end user has opened the sheet using the theme or extension
What about inactive themes and extensions?
To protect customer-owned content, Qlik will not migrate unused themes or extensions. A migration will only trigger if they are:
- accessed, which triggers migration to the new service, or
- you manually confirm them for migration
What action do I need to take?
Review your themes and extensions and identify those that have been inactive since November 17th, 2025:
- Log in to your Qlik Cloud tenant
- Navigate to the Administration Center
- Open either your Extensions or Themes
- Scroll to the right to find the new Status column
Possible Migration status values:
- Not migrated: The theme has not been migrated.
- Queued for migration: The theme has been queued and will migrate during the next scheduled migration run.
- Migration in progress: The theme is currently being migrated.
- Migrated: The theme has been successfully migrated.
Will the unused themes and extensions be deleted?
Unused content will be removed if it is not accessed or migrated by June 30th, 2026.
If you have any questions, we're happy to assist. Reply to this blog post or take your queries to our Support Chat.

Purpose This app is an interactive sales analytics dashboard designed to monitor business performance, explore trends, and support data-driven decisions. What it shows Key KPIs: total sales, number of customers, sub-categories, and average unit price Sales breakdown by region, state, and city Product-level insights (quantity sold, top-performing items) Category and sub-category performance Time trends (yearly and quarterly sales) Interactive filters for category and region to drill down into data
Discoveries
📊Sales Performance Insights The North region appears to have the highest sales, closely followed by West and East, while South is slightly lower. Overall sales are strong (over 109M), indicating healthy business performance. 🏙️ City-Level Trends Surat (~11.9%) and Bangalore (~10.3%) are among the top contributing cities. Cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Pune contribute fairly evenly (~9–10%), showing a well-distributed market. 🗺️ State-Level Insights Karnataka leads in state-wise sales (~15M), followed by Telangana and Maharashtra. There is a cluster of high-performing southern and western states, suggesting strong regional demand.
Impact
: 🚀 Revenue Growth Impact Strong performance in top regions and states (like North and Karnataka) means you can double down on high-performing markets to drive faster revenue growth. The slight dip in 2024 highlights a need for corrective strategies (promotions, new products) to avoid stagnation. 🎯 Market Strategy Impact Well-distributed city contributions reduce risk, but top cities (Surat, Bangalore) offer opportunities for targeted campaigns and expansion. Underperforming regions can be improved with localized marketing and pricing strategies. 📦 Product Strategy Impact High-value products (e.g., laptops) contribute significantly → focus on premium product positioning and upselling. Low-performing items (e.g., accessories with low sales) may lead to inventory inefficiencies, so consider bundling or discontinuation. 💰 Profitability Impact A high average unit price (~10K) suggests strong margins, but optimizing the product mix can further increase profitability. Better alignment of demand vs. supply reduces holding costs and wastage. 👥 Customer Impact With relatively fewer customers generating high sales, there’s an opportunity to: Increase customer base (acquisition campaigns) Boost retention and repeat purchases (loyalty programs) 📈 Decision-Making Impact Leadership can make faster, data-driven decisions using this centralized dashboard. Enables proactive actions instead of reactive ones (e.g., spotting declining trends early).
Audience
Sales managers, business analysts, and marketing teams use the app to track performance and identify trends. Executives rely on it for quick, data-driven decisions to drive growth and strategy.
Data and advanced analytics
The app uses structured sales data (customers, products, regions, and time) to generate insights. It applies advanced analytics like trend analysis, regional comparison, and KPI tracking to uncover patterns and support predictive, data-driven decisions.

Show MoreIn Belo Horizonte, Brazil, the best ideas don't stay in the classroom. For Priscila, they never did. We are proud to welcome Priscila back as a Qlik Educator Ambassador for 2026.
At Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, she teaches MBA and postgraduate students across some of the most vital disciplines in modern business: data-driven culture, data governance, AI for business, and market intelligence. Her students are not fresh graduates finding their footing. They are analysts, managers, and executives who arrive carrying real, unresolved problems from real organizations and Priscila has built her classroom to be the place where those problems finally meet their match.
"The classes become very dynamic," she says, "because we can discuss real problems brought by the students themselves."
That energy is not a happy accident. It is the result of years spent equally inside lecture halls and inside the organizations her students go home to every evening, someone who has lived both worlds deeply enough to bridge them.
A Curriculum Built to Last
Priscila has spent recent years building something more purposeful than a course catalog. Three ideas now sit at the heart of everything she teaches: data quality, data governance, and data and AI fluency. Not as boxes to check, but as a framework her students carry into every analysis, every dashboard, and every decision they will ever make.
Her reasoning is both simple and powerful. Analytics and artificial intelligence only generate real value when the data underneath them is trustworthy and well governed. Without that foundation, even the most brilliant insight collapses. So in her classroom, Qlik is not the finish line, it is the environment where students learn to do something far more valuable than building visualizations. They learn to question them. Sessions frequently use datasets with intentional quality problems, challenging students to diagnose, clean, model, and interpret. They go further still learning to understand predictions, evaluate risks, and identify the optimizations necessary to use AI responsibly and effectively. It is demanding work. It is also the kind of work that transforms a good analyst into an indispensable one.
"What usually makes the difference in interviews is that they can demonstrate not just tool knowledge, but analytical maturity. They can explain how to organize data, structure analyses, and transform information into decisions."
That is the standard Priscila holds her classroom to and the standard the market is increasingly hungry for. Beyond class hours, she actively encourages her students to pursue the Qlik Academic Program's structured learning paths and certifications, giving them a way to build deeper, independently verified fluency that follows them into every organization they join.
Where She Is Taking It in 2026
Priscila's vision for 2026 is as clear as it is ambitious. She wants every student, regardless of course, to leave with a transferable framework for working responsibly and confidently in data and AI-driven environments. Data governance remains at the core because analytics initiatives don't fail for lack of technology. They fail for lack of structure, ownership, and clarity. She is building those foundations directly into her curriculum.
And generative AI? No longer a future conversation.
"The market no longer values only those who can build dashboards. There is growing demand for professionals who understand data quality, modeling, governance, and business context."
Her courses are being designed to produce exactly the professionals the market is looking for but struggling to find.
The Story That Says It All
One story, more than any other, captures what Priscila is truly building.
A student arrived from a completely unrelated background, drawn to data but without a clear path forward. During a Qlik project, he dug into a real dataset from his own company and uncovered critical inconsistencies in a commission process, the kind of deep, invisible problem that organizations live with for years because no one has ever had the tools or the courage to surface it. He surfaced it. Shortly after, he was invited into a more analytical role within the organization.
He told Priscila that what changed wasn't learning a tool. It was learning to structure problems and think with data.
"And for me," she says, "that is exactly what we are trying to build in the classroom."
Not just skilled analysts. Confident, curious thinkers who make organizations better.
A Bridge That Flows Both Ways
Priscila recently brought a Data Literacy program to a healthcare company in Minas Gerais and discovered that one of her own graduate students was already working there. The university and the market, finding each other without anyone planning for it. A reminder that the seeds planted in the classroom have a way of growing in the most unexpected places.
That is the kind of connection the Ambassador Program makes possible at its best. "Everything I have lived and built with Qlik," she says, "makes me continue to believe it is the best tool for the purpose I promote." Her students enter organizations already fluent, already confident, already equipped to contribute from day one. And through the program's global network of educators, Priscila keeps pushing her own boundaries, drawing inspiration from peers across countries and institutions who share her belief that education can and should change how people work.
Every Semester, a New Chapter
Last year, Priscila published her book on Data and AI Fluency — Estratégias e Práticas para trabalhar e viver em um mundo dirigido por dados — a field guide born not from theory, but from years of classrooms, boardrooms, and every honest conversation in between. It now anchors her teaching, returning to the room each semester as a living document that her students immediately recognize as their own professional reality, finally given language and meaning.
The loop is rare and powerful. Teach from experience. Reflect deeply enough to write it down. Then teach again from what the writing revealed. Each cycle sharper. Each cohort more prepared. Each student a little more ready to go out and change something.
That is what an Educator Ambassador looks like.
Congratulations, Priscila. We are proud to have you back and we cannot wait to see what you write next.

Move from reactive monitoring to proactive insight
Business data changes constantly. Metrics shift, patterns evolve, and important signals often hide within complex combinations of dimensions. Teams simply don’t have time to check every chart every day, meaning by the time you notice an issue, the window to act may already be closing.
Traditional alerting doesn’t solve the problem either. Rules-based alerts rely on rigid thresholds, predefined logic, and ongoing maintenance. They only detect the changes you expect to see.
But what about the changes you didn’t know to look for?
Enter, Discovery Agent:
Discovery Agent autonomously monitors your data to identify meaningful changes the moment they happen. Instead of relying on manual dashboard checks or rigid alert rules, Discovery Agent works behind the scenes to scan your Qlik Cloud applications and surface the insights that matter most.
It automatically detects signals such as:
- Spikes and sudden drops
- Meaningful trend shifts
- Record highs or lows
- Changes in baseline behavior
- Forecast divergence
- Potential data quality issues
Read all about it in our innovation blog: Introducing Discovery Agent.
Ready to get started? Discovery Agent is now available in Qlik Cloud Analytics, bringing proactive, AI-driven monitoring directly into your analytics workflows.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Ravi Aavula from the Department of Data Science, Anurag University, Hyderabad, India as the Qlik Academic Program Educator Ambassador for 2026.Dr Ravi was introduced to Qlik while searching for effective data visualization tools to support data science and analytics courses. When he explored the Qlik Academic Program, he found it very useful because it offers free access, learning materials, and certifications for students and educators. This encouraged him to start using Qlik in his teaching.
As an Educator, Dr Ravi believes in imparting students’ practical skills along with strong theoretical knowledge. His focus is on helping students understand real-world applications of data analytics so that they are better prepared for industry careers.
Dr Ravi has been introducing and teaching content from the Qlik Academic Program in data analytics and data visualization courses for the past few years.
His opinion about Qlik Sense is that it is easy to use and very powerful. It allows students to explore data, find patterns, and create dashboards quickly. In Data Science, visualization is very important to understand and present insights clearly, and the software supports this effectively.
In terms of integrating the program resources in his classroom, Dr Ravi has included the academic program in the following ways :- Lab sessions
- Guiding students to build dashboards
- Encouraging students to complete academic program training, qualifications and certifications
- Distributing assignments and mini projects using real datasets.
In terms of other activities with educators and students, he has conducted workshops, training & Faculty Development Programs ( FDPs) such as:
- Student workshops on data visualization
- Hands-on training sessions on Qlik Sense
- Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) on Data Analytics
- Training programs for Qualifications and Certifications
According to Dr Ravi, students who learned through the Qlik Academic Program improved their resumes and gained confidence. Some performed better in interviews because of the hands-on experience they gained with an industry leader.
“We experienced that knowledge of analytics technologies like Qlik supports students in securing internships and job opportunities in data-related roles”, says Dr Ravi.
At the University level, Dr Ravi promotes the use of the academic program in the Department of Data Science and other departments like Computer Science Engineering, AIML and Management. He encourages faculty members to adopt practical analytics tools in their teaching.

Welcome back Javier Leon-Qlik Educator Ambassador for 2026!
Expanding Impact Through Teaching Javier continues to teach across multiple institutions, working with undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students ... Show MoreExpanding Impact Through Teaching
Javier continues to teach across multiple institutions, working with undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students in areas such as analytics, business intelligence, data visualization, project management, and artificial intelligence. His approach centers on making learning practical, relevant, and career-focused.
“My goal is always to help students connect what they learn in the classroom with the kinds of challenges they will face in the real world,” Javier explains. “I want them to graduate not only understanding concepts, but also knowing how to apply them using the tools and methods that organizations rely on today.”
That commitment to applied learning has helped many students strengthen their confidence, sharpen their technical skills, and become more competitive in the job market.
Continuing Research and Recent Publication
In addition to teaching, Javier continues to stay active in research. He was recently published in the Research in Business and Economics Journal for his work on neural network forecasting of U.S. imported fruit prices. His research explored how hybrid AI models can improve forecasting accuracy in complex agricultural markets, offering practical implications for decision-making, supply chain planning, and market stability.
“Research keeps me current and helps me bring fresh ideas into the classroom,” Javier says. “It allows me to show students how analytics and AI can be used not just in theory, but in meaningful applications that affect industries, organizations, and communities.”
His continued work in research reinforces his commitment to bridging academic learning with practical, high-impact problem solving.
The Power of Qlik in Student Learning
Qlik continues to be a central part of Javier’s teaching philosophy and classroom experience.
“Qlik is an outstanding platform for helping students truly understand the power of data,” he explains. “It allows them to move beyond static reports and really interact with information, ask better questions, and discover insights on their own.”
Javier emphasizes that Qlik creates powerful learning moments for students by making data exploration intuitive, visual, and engaging. It helps students experience the kind of analytical thinking that employers increasingly value, while also giving them confidence with a professional tool they can talk about in interviews and apply in the workplace.
“One of the things I value most about Qlik is how quickly it helps students get to those breakthrough moments,” he says. “They begin to see data not just as numbers, but as a story, a strategy, and a decision-making asset.”
For many students, exposure to Qlik has strengthened their understanding of dashboards, KPIs, business intelligence, and data storytelling in a way that feels immediate and relevant.
Integrating AI in the Classroom
Another major area of focus for Javier has been the integration of artificial intelligence into the classroom.
“AI is transforming the way organizations operate, so it is essential that students understand both its potential and how to use it responsibly,” Javier says. “I’ve been integrating more AI-related concepts, tools, and discussions into my courses so students can develop the mindset and skills they will need in the future.”
His students are increasingly exposed to topics such as machine learning, forecasting, predictive analytics, and AI-supported decision-making, always with an emphasis on practical application and ethical use. Rather than treating AI as a trend, Javier incorporates it as a meaningful extension of analytics education.
“I want students to see AI as something they can understand, evaluate, and apply,” he explains. “When integrated well, it makes the classroom more dynamic, more innovative, and more aligned with where industry is headed.”
By combining AI with hands-on assignments, real datasets, and business-focused problem solving, Javier helps students develop a stronger foundation for modern analytics work.
Helping Students Build Real-World Skills
Javier remains deeply committed to giving students opportunities to build skills they can use immediately in their careers. His courses emphasize hands-on learning, real-world case studies, interactive projects, and exposure to tools that support data-driven decision-making.
Whether students are learning about business intelligence, data visualization, analytics, or AI, his focus remains the same: helping them become better thinkers, better communicators, and better problem-solvers.
Why the Educator Ambassador Role Matters
For Javier, being part of the Educator Ambassador Program continues to be both meaningful and energizing.
“Being an Educator Ambassador allows me to stay connected to a broader community of educators who care deeply about innovation, student success, and the future of analytics education,” he says. “It also gives me the opportunity to continue bringing valuable Qlik resources and ideas into my courses.”
He sees the role as an extension of his mission to empower students with relevant, applied, and forward-looking learning experiences.
Looking Ahead
Javier is excited to continue building learning experiences that combine analytics, AI, and business problem-solving in ways that prepare students for long-term success.
“I’m grateful to be part of a community that values data literacy, innovation, and student growth,” he says. “The future of education in analytics is incredibly exciting, and I look forward to continuing to help students build the confidence and skills they need to thrive.”
Through his teaching, research, and commitment to practical learning, Javier continues to make a strong impact on students and on the future of analytics education.
