What is Qlik?
Qlik is an end-to-end data platform. It pulls data from your source systems, cleans and governs it, then lets your team analyse it through dashboards or natural-language AI. After acquiring Talend in 2023, Qlik now covers the full pipeline from raw data to decision in one platform.

The core Qlik products:
-
Qlik Cloud Analytics. The SaaS analytics platform. Dashboards, self-service exploration and AI-powered insights.
-
Qlik Sense. The on-premise version of the same analytics platform.
-
Qlik Talend Cloud. Data integration, quality and governance. Moves data from sources into Qlik or any cloud warehouse.
-
Qlik Answers. Generative AI assistant that answers questions in plain English from your governed data.
-
Qlik Predict. Predictive AI and AutoML for forecasting and machine learning use cases.
The technical differentiator is Qlik's associative engine, which loads your data into memory and indexes every relationship between fields. That lets users explore freely instead of following pre-built query paths, which is why Qlik tends to win in complex or multi-source data environments.
When to use Qlik
Qlik makes sense if:
Your data lives across multiple systems (ERP, CRM, databases, spreadsheets).
You need real-time insights, not yesterday's numbers.
You want integration, quality and analytics in one platform.

Ometis has been an excellent partner. They have resources available and reliable, and they are upfront about costs.
Laura Howard
Manager Data & Analytics at Ingersoll Rand -
One of the most knowledgeable and friendly consultancies I've had the pleasure to work with over 35 years in the ERP and BI arena. As a consequence, we've stayed with Ometis for over 10 years.
John Griggs
Business Systems Manager at Branston -
I actually feel like Qlik is my baby at Pizza Express. I had emails from the CEO and others praising how it helps them see sales immediately and fix issues today rather than learning tomorrow. It’s helping the company make money and making people’s working lives better in restaurants, which are core to the business.
Dan Williams
Head of BI at PizzaExpress
"UK businesses are sitting on more data than ever, but with smaller analytics teams. The platforms that win this decade are the ones that give business users genuine self-service without giving up governance. Qlik does that better than most, which is why we still pick it for complex environments."
