Qlik Eliminates Barriers to Cloud Migration, Paving Way for Seamless AI Adoption

Qlik^®, a global leader in data integration, analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), recently announced strong momentum in supporting cloud migration for enterprises, allowing them to leverage AI technologies more effectively. By removing barriers to cloud adoption, the company is helping organisations leverage Amazon Web Service (AWS) cloud computing technology to unlock greater value from their data assets and achieve better analytics outcomes.

For businesses seeking to adopt AI, a successful strategy often starts with cloud migration. Moving to the cloud provides access to a stronger technology ecosystem, including emerging AI solutions that enhance analytics outcomes. Recognising this, the leading tech firm has focused on simplifying the cloud journey, offering solutions that streamline the transition and support seamless cloud-based operations.

Recent features, such as the launch of PixelPerfect reporting and anonymous access in the cloud, demonstrate Qlik’s commitment to bridging the gap between on-premises and cloud functionality, making it easier for enterprises to adopt AI-ready environments.

“AI isn’t just about implementing specific AI technologies; it’s about having the right environment to support them,” said Brendan Grady, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Qlik’s Analytics Business Unit. “Our focus has been on clearing the path for our customers to move to the cloud, which means providing solutions that remove traditional barriers. By continuing to enable new critical features in our cloud analytics offerings, we’re ensuring that our customers can seamlessly transition to the cloud and, in doing so, position themselves to leverage the best of AI.”

One example of the company’s ongoing innovation in AI is Qlik Answers™, its unstructured data AI solution, launched at Qlik Connect in June 2024. Qlik Answers has garnered significant interest among customers across a wide range of industries, including logistics, financial services, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and education. Organisations across these sectors are exploring how this innovation can help them unlock valuable insights from their unstructured data, highlighting the growing demand for innovative AI and analytics solutions.
