During Qlik's webinar "The Economic Impact of Cloud Analytics," Boris Evelson, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, made a very valuable statement when he spoke with Brendan Grady: "You need to bring BI to where the user lives." He mentioned that this could be Salesforce, Teams, or any other platform where the user spends time. https://lnkd.in/gAG_mYFh The same applies to BI engineers. We need to bring #DevOps to where the #Qlik engineer lives. Therefore, the new #Gitoqlok "#QlikConnect" release will bring DevOps data to your Qlik environment in a sidebar. Would you like to: * Understand the usage of the sheet you are working on. Why are you making changes when this sheet has not been used for the past four months? * Search for expressions in the complete Qlik stack and autofill your Qlik window? * Get information about referenced and generated QVD files while working in the load script? * Understand that QSDA Pro has not evaluated this app for months, and there are still open issues? * Access history information and understand Jack and Rose's changes they made a few months ago? Just post what DevOps information is key for you when you develop in Qlik and we will see if we can present this information to you. In Qlik! The Power of Qlik is amazing! The total economic impact study reveals a 209% ROI using Qlik Cloud Analytics. Deliver this value faster with DevOps! Suppose you're eager to learn more about how the new Gitoqlok' Qlik Connect' release can revolutionize your Qlik experience, leveraging zero-touch version control and QSDA Pro. In that case, we invite you to visit our magical booth 900 at Qlik Connect. We are the Wizards of DevOps! #QlikLuminaryAlumni #QlikPartnerAmbassador Info QlikConnect Ian Crosland Thomas Hopp Alex Polorotov Rob Wunderlich Martin Tombs Sarah Urbiss Michael Fawcett

Bi-directional data access between Snowflake and Fabric offers an exciting partnership. I assume this brings enhanced interoperability, reduced complexity and costs, increased access to tools and applications, and improved data insights. Excited to hear of any Snowflake announcements at the Summit. #Snowflake

It’s not hard to guess the priorities at the top of your agenda: ✔ Better decision making  ✔ Saving time  ✔ Cutting costs Moving your data analytics to the cloud can help you to achieve just that. In fact, a recent study sponsored by Qlik discovered an average enterprise organization can experience $6.4M in benefits over three years.  ☁ If you’re looking to make the move to cloud-based analytics, but need the facts and figures to convince your colleagues, don’t miss our upcoming webinar.  On April 24, I will be joined by Boris Evelson, Vice President & Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, to discuss the study. What’s more, Mikkel Hecht Hansen, Head of BI at Nordisk Film, will be revealing the impact that cloud migration has had on their value chain.  The Economic Impact of Cloud Analytics, with Forrester's Boris Evelson is on April 24 and there’s still time to register: https://lnkd.in/e6AemqUw    Will you be joining?  #Cloud #Data #DataAnalytics #DataIntegration #DigitalTransformation
