Qlik® announced it has successfully achieved Google Cloud Ready – BigQuery Designation for both its Qlik Sense® cloud analytics solution and Qlik Data Integration®, increasing customer confidence to combine multiple Qlik solutions alongside Google’s BigQuery to help activate more impactful data.
“Data is foundational to digital transformation, and businesses are increasingly utilising a range of partners and applications alongside BigQuery to turn this data into value,” said Manvinder Singh, Director, Partnerships at Google Cloud. “The Google Cloud Ready – BigQuery designation indicates that Qlik’s multiple integrations and connectors with BigQuery deliver excellent value and results for customers, and can help businesses more seamlessly and quickly bring timely and relevant data from multiple sources into BigQuery for analysis.”
Google Cloud Ready - BigQuery is a partner integration validation programme aimed at boosting consumer trust in BigQuery partner integrations. Google engineering teams assess partner BigQuery integrations in a three-phase process:
-
Execute a set of data integration tests and compare results to benchmarks.
-
Work closely with partners to remedy any gaps.
-
Enhance documentation for shared customers as part of this programme.
“This new designation is another milestone in our continued efforts to help customers embrace the power of Active Intelligence with real-time and relevant data and modern cloud analytics,” said Itamar Ankorion, SVP Technology Alliances at Qlik. “This designation, in addition to Qlik’s alignment and participation as an inaugural partner in the Google Cloud Cortex framework, is testament to the power of combining Google and Qlik solutions to expand customers’ use of data in the cloud for impact.”
Qlik Sense is a modern cloud analytics solution that enables individuals of all skill levels to transition from passive to active analytics, making data-driven decisions and taking action when it counts. Qlik Sense is a component of the Qlik Active Intelligence Platform® powered by Qlik Cloud®, which includes a powerful associative engine, intelligent alerting, robust collaboration, AI-driven augmented analytics, mobile and embedded analytics, and automatic action triggering.
Qlik Data Integration automates real-time data streaming, refinement, cataloging and publishing between multiple source systems and Google Cloud for customers like Gordon Food Service and Breuninger. Qlik drives agility in the analytics process through automated data pipelines that provide real-time data streaming from the widest set of source systems (including SAP, Mainframe, RDBMS, Data Warehouses and more) and automates the transformation to analytics-ready data across any cloud platform, including Google Cloud.
“With Qlik Data Integration, we can now replicate data from any on-prem database including SAP HANA, Oracle and SQL Server into the data lake hosted by Google Cloud and BigQuery. For the most part, we have sub-second latency,” said Kyle Partlow, Software and Analytics Team Manager, Gordon Food Service.
Qlik has shown that Qlik Data Integration and Qlik Sense meet a fundamental set of functional and interoperability standards when integrating with Google's BigQuery by receiving these designations. Customers can use this distinction to identify and trust that Qlik Sense and Qlik Data Integration function effectively with BigQuery or save time assessing them if they aren't already utilising them. As part of the initiative, Qlik will have more opportunity to establish cooperative roadmaps with Google Cloud partner engineering and BigQuery teams.
