Qlik Cloud Analytics brings analytics, dashboards and AI together in one platform. Explore your data, uncover insights and use AI to find answers faster, spot patterns and make better informed decisions.
Qlik Partner since 2013
Qlik Cloud Analytics brings analytics, AI, predictive capabilities, reporting and automation together in one platform. It gives people different ways to work with data, from exploring dashboards and finding unexpected changes to asking questions, looking ahead and turning insights into action.
But having more technology available does not automatically lead to better analytics. Your data, applications and business logic still need to work properly underneath it.
At Bitmetric, we help you build that foundation, get more from the Qlik investment you already have and decide where newer analytics and AI capabilities can genuinely add value.
Qlik Cloud Analytics is the foundation for Qlik’s analytics capabilities. It combines interactive analytics with AI, predictive analytics, reporting, automation and embedded experiences in one cloud platform.
For users, that means there are now many more ways to interact with business data. They can explore dashboards, ask questions in natural language, discover changes they were not actively looking for, create predictions and connect insights to processes elsewhere in the business.
You do not need to use every capability. The right Qlik environment is the one that gives your users the information they need without creating unnecessary complexity or cost.
Qlik Cloud Analytics brings these capabilities into the same analytics environment. They can be used independently, but the real value comes from choosing the right combination for your users and business processes.
Create interactive dashboards that make business data easier to understand and explore.
Qlik’s associative analytics engine allows users to investigate relationships across their data instead of following a fixed path through predefined reports. Combined with the right data model and application design, this gives users the freedom to investigate what is happening and understand the detail behind the numbers.
Give users a conversational way to work with business information.
Qlik Answers allows people to ask questions in natural language and receive answers grounded in the information available to Qlik. This can make analytics more accessible to users who know the business question they want to ask without necessarily knowing which dashboard, filter or visualization contains the answer.
Important changes are not always the ones somebody remembered to look for.
Qlik’s discovery capabilities can help identify meaningful changes, anomalies and outliers in your data and bring them to the user’s attention. This gives people a starting point for investigation and can help surface developments that might otherwise remain hidden inside a dashboard or dataset.
Use patterns in historical data to understand what could happen next.
Qlik’s predictive capabilities can help organizations create and use machine learning models for use cases such as forecasting, customer behavior, demand and risk. Predictions can then become part of the wider analytics experience rather than sitting in a separate data science environment.
Qlik is expanding analytics beyond AI that simply responds to a question.
Agentic Analytics introduces specialized AI agents that can help users investigate information, discover changes, work with predictions and move through analytical tasks. These capabilities can work together with Qlik Answers to create a more conversational and connected analytics experience. The aim is to shorten the distance between finding something important in your data, understanding what it means and deciding what should happen next.
Connect analytics to the processes that happen afterwards.
Qlik Automate can connect Qlik with other applications and workflows, helping organizations automate repetitive tasks, distribute information and respond to events in their data. This means an insight does not necessarily have to end with someone looking at a dashboard. It can become the starting point for another process.
Interactive dashboards are not the right format for every user or every situation.
Qlik’s reporting capabilities make it possible to create and distribute structured reports using the same analytics environment. This can support recurring management reporting, operational reporting and information that needs to be distributed to people who do not spend their day working inside Qlik.
If you need more control over how reports are built and distributed, Mail & Deploy is an add-on that works alongside Qlik.
Bring analytics into the applications and experiences where people already work.
Qlik analytics can be embedded into portals, applications and other digital experiences, giving employees, customers or partners access to relevant information without requiring them to move between separate systems.
Think of these capabilities as different ways of working with the same business data rather than separate pieces of technology. A dashboard can show that sales are declining in a particular area. Discovery capabilities can identify an unusual change that deserves attention. A user can investigate further using Qlik Answers and explore the information through natural language.
Predictive analytics can help determine what may happen if the trend continues. If something needs to happen as a result, automation can connect the insight to another workflow or system. Reporting can distribute the information to stakeholders, while embedded analytics can make relevant insights available inside another application. You may not need every step. What matters is creating an analytics environment where the capabilities you do need work together.
Qlik loads data from your source systems through its connectors. If you need to keep a data warehouse up to date, Qlik Talend Cloud handles that part.
Data from different systems is combined into one model that contains your business logic and definitions. This step takes the most work, and it determines whether the dashboards and AI answers built on top can be trusted.
Users work with the same model in different ways: dashboards to explore it, Qlik Answers to ask questions in plain language, discovery features to flag unexpected changes, and Qlik Predict for forecasts.
Reports and alerts reach the people who need them, analytics can be embedded in other applications, and Qlik Automate turns an insight into the next step in another system.
We have been working with Qlik since 2013. During that time, we have worked across different generations of the platform and helped organizations build, migrate, optimize and support their Qlik environments.
That experience gives us a practical view of new technology. We are interested in what Qlik’s latest analytics and AI capabilities can do, but even more interested in whether they make sense for your organization.
Before adding something new, we look at your current Qlik environment and how it is being used. There may already be opportunities to improve performance, simplify applications, make better use of existing capabilities or solve the business problem without introducing additional technology.
Saving customers money is something we are good at. We look at capacity, subscriptions, application performance, architecture, and how Qlik is being used to identify where resources or budget may be going to waste. The goal is not simply to make Qlik cheaper. It is to make sure you are spending money on the parts that actually deliver value.
We do not recommend AI simply because it is available. We first make sure your existing analytics environment can give you the results you need. When AI can genuinely improve what you can do with your data, we help identify the right use case and make sure the foundation is ready to support it.
Our consultants work with Qlik every day across architecture, development, migrations, performance optimization, analytics, automation and support. We can help with a new Qlik Cloud environment, improve an existing one or work alongside your internal team when you need additional expertise.

“Bitmetric supported us in a clear and pleasant way in turning our FreshPortal data into insights into purchasing, sales, inventory levels, and margins. Thanks to the well-structured dashboards, we can easily compare different periods and adjust more quickly. Communication was clear, agreements were honored, and they actively thought along with us. The solution was also delivered exactly on time.“

You may already have more capability available than you realize. Before investing in something new, it is worth understanding whether your current environment is giving you everything it should. There may be opportunities to improve performance, reduce costs, simplify the environment or make better use of capabilities you already have.
And when there is a strong case for AI, predictive analytics, automation or another Qlik capability, we can help you introduce it with the right foundation underneath it.

No. Qlik doesn’t use your data to train AI models outside your tenant. Where your data is processed is a separate question; see the next question.
Not by default. Your data is stored and processed in your tenant’s region. Some AI features, such as the agentic Qlik Answers experience and Discovery Agent, only work after a tenant administrator turns on cross-region inference. With that setting on, a request can be processed in another AWS region when the model isn’t available in yours or capacity is limited, and the result is sent back. Qlik states that no data is stored or cached in the processing region. For tenants in Qlik’s EU regions (Ireland and Germany), processing stays within EU member states. If that doesn’t meet your compliance requirements, leave the setting off; the legacy Qlik Answers experience keeps working within your own region. Qlik publishes the processing locations per region and gives at least 30 days’ notice before they change.
Qlik states that it complies with the EU AI Act. It classifies its general-purpose AI features, such as Qlik Answers, as limited risk, and narrower features as minimal risk. Qlik also says its AI offerings are not designed for high-risk purposes under the Act. Keep in mind that Qlik’s compliance covers Qlik as a provider. If you use AI features in your own processes, your organization has its own obligations under the Act. See Qlik’s Trust & AI page for its full statement.
No. For many organizations, most of the value still comes from a solid data model and dashboards that people actually use. We first check whether your current Qlik environment gives you what you need. AI makes sense when there’s a specific use case and the data underneath it is reliable.
