Qlik has been hard at work the past year transforming its customer success and support organization to truly align with customer needs in a SaaS first world. Today at Qonnections we announced a series of enhancements that put the customer at the center of everything we do at Qlik.
It’s a big day here at Qlik – we officially welcome Attunity into the fold after the formal close of our acquisition. Over the past year we’ve been executing on a vision of what customers truly need from their analytics partner – an enterprise-level data management strategy that fuels enterprise-wide analytics.
April is an exciting time at Qlik as we build momentum towards Qonnections 2019 and later in the quarter, the global Qlik Analytics Tour. These great events will showcase Qlik Sense April 2019 – which is now available! This release sets us apart from the competition with significant advancements to our multi-cloud capabilities – including a new enterprise SaaS deployment option, as well as innovative advancements to our market leading AI capabilities.
Last month we brought together two data experts for a webinar discussion on best practices and approaches to implementing analytics and defining data roadmaps.

There’s recently been an important debate taking place on LinkedIn around the topic of relational databases, joins and how that impacts a user’s experience with analytics.
Ever find yourself in your closet searching for an article of clothing or trying to squeeze one more hangers on the rack? I took the better part of the afternoon on Saturday to clean out my closet. It made me realize a few key things. I am a pack rat and this clean up exercise took way longer than I thought. I anticipated the exercise taking 30-45 minutes tops. How hard could it be?

A few years ago, Qlik ran a campaign called the Whole Story. The related video is still posted (fun fact: It was filmed in Qlik’s office near San Francisco).
