Modernise your analytics seamlessly with Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense is the modern analytics solution available on-prem or on the Qlik Cloud Platform; It makes it easier for your employees to gain insights from your business data. By adopting Qlik Sense you will be truly making the most of the modern analytics era!
However, it doesn’t have to be an either/or situation. QlikView remains a great tool, and you don’t have to choose between it and Qlik Sense. In fact, you can get the best of both worlds and access both through a unified license agreement. By deploying Qlik Sense on the Qlik Cloud platform, with unified licensing, you can reduce infrastructure costs and access both solutions side by side. This provides you the opportunity to utilise everything Qlik Sense and the broader Qlik Cloud platform have to offer, whilst expanding your BI potential and reducing costs.
Qlik Sense is the modern business intelligence tool that supports the entire analytics life cycle. It is attractive, more intuitive, easier to understand and use. It provides governed, self-service analytics, modern visualisations and dashboards that give you the power to tell a story with your data.
- Qlik Sense can be integrated into your website or intranet, so employees can use the tool in an interface they are familiar with.
- Qlik Sense is a self-service analytical tool which allows your employees to pull data from multiple sources, create their own reports, and look at data from new perspectives.
- Both QlikView and Qlik Sense build on Qlik’s associative engine, which helps you find unexpected relationships in your data. Qlik Sense also provides you with answers to questions you didn’t know you needed to ask.
Align your QlikView and Qlik Sense Licensing
If you already have QlikView, the great news is your investment won’t be wasted if you opt to move to Qlik Cloud. You can reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by consuming both solutions on the Qlik Cloud platform and unifying your licensing. This means you can access both products from the Qlik Cloud Hub and publish content to Qlik Cloud from your QlikView servers. You can cut infrastructure costs, whilst making it simple for users to access all your analytics in one place and keeping your governance in check. You can also reuse the data models and analytics from your QlikView data layer, saving you time and resources.
FREEDOM OF CHOICE
With aligned licensing you can modernise your analytics at your own pace. You can choose to keep some applications in QlikView and build new ones in Qlik Sense, or you can move from QlikView to Qlik Sense completely. Either way, by aligning your licensing you get to experience the benefits of Qlik Sense in the way that suits your business.
PARALLEL TOOLS
If you have a complex IT environment with multiple applications, then using QlikView and Qlik Sense side-by-side may be a smart option. Unified licensing means you can maintain your complex solutions in QlikView, while building new applications in Qlik Sense.
ONE AT A TIME
You can choose to migrate one application at a time, giving users time to get used to the new interface and a new way of working. While this approach involves less of an upfront investment, it means a longer period running both products.
ALL AT ONCE
Taking a Big Bang approach means the entire QlikView platform is migrated to Qlik Cloud at the same time. While this is a major project, it is quick and efficient, and you won’t be using double tools for long if you don’t want to. Migrating all applications at once also gets everyone kick started on Qlik Sense on the Qlik Cloud platform.
Whatever approach you take, Climber will help you modernise your analytics seamlessly!
