Qlik Expands Real-Time Data Integration and Cloud Analytics Services for Snowflake

Qlik® today announced multiple new and enhanced capabilities that will help customers maximize the value of their investment in Snowflake Data Cloud. These services expand the ability to both seamlessly feed Snowflake with near real-time data and more easily access data in real-time and action it for decision making across the enterprise.

“Customers are looking to augment their investment in Snowflake with services that accelerate the access and availability of near real-time data for modern analytics,” said Tarik Dwiek, Head of Technology Alliances of Snowflake. “We are excited about Qlik’s latest SaaS platform integrations with Snowflake, which can make it easier for customers to leverage near real-time data through Snowflake to improve decision-making across the organization with up-to-date insights.”

“Since the start of our collaboration with Qlik and Snowflake, we’ve seen some immense results. By moving the database to the cloud and having it work with Qlik’s automated solutions, we can unlock new data sources in our data warehouse within five days, instead of 20, and create new incremental data marts in days rather than weeks. We also achieved a 75% cost reduction on ETL development,” said Maikel Jaspers, BI Engineer at Ewals Cargo Care. “Now not only can we run reports more efficiently, but we can also fulfil more requests. This has given us more agility, and ultimately makes the entire company much more effective, something we’ve been striving to do for a very long time.”

Qlik enhanced its Cloud Analytics Services for Snowflake with two new features that help customers drive more value from near real-time data when deploying Qlik’s cloud platform with Snowflake. Direct Query enables users to automatically generate pushdown SQL to query Snowflake on demand from within Qlik Sense. This combines the ability to optimize Snowflake queries with immediate access to the most recent data, while allowing for the creation of best-in-class visualizations and dashboards in Qlik Sense. Qlik’s FinOps and query optimization analytic applications expand on Qlik’s existing Snowflake usage dashboards and provide CDOs and data leaders with a comprehensive understanding of what is driving Snowflake usage and how to best optimize Snowflake workloads to improve the user experience.

Qlik also released new and enhanced Qlik Cloud Data Services capabilities for Snowflake, including:

● Real-time change data capture and movement to Snowflake including major databases, SAP, mainframe and SaaS applications.

● Data warehouse automation for model-driven code generation, which dramatically reduces the time, cost, and risk to realize the full potential of Snowflake.

● Reverse ETL to replicate enriched data from the Snowflake platform back to the operational systems of record.

At QlikWorld, Qlik’s recent customer and partner event, industry leaders such as ABB, Best Buy Canada, CSS, Harman, Novartis, SDI and Urban Outfitters showcased how they leverage Qlik solutions with Snowflake to activate data for insights and action.

● ABB demonstrated how they combine Qlik Data Integration to feed Snowflake with SAP and other data sources to unlock the hidden value of data at scale and help create deeper insights faster.

● Best Buy Canada showed how they partnered with Accenture, Qlik and Snowflake to accelerate the delivery of the initial phase of a multi-phased data ecosystem modernization journey in the cloud.

● CSS outlined how they built a modern cloud data lakehouse with near real-time data ingestion and fully automated creation of analytics structures for rapid business insights by using Qlik Data Integration with Snowflake.

● SDI showcased ZEUS, their MRO technology platform, which digitizes a portion of the supply chain by leveraging Qlik and Snowflake to uniquely summarize activity for any supply chain manager.

“We’re seeing continued customer success and growth in demand to leverage Qlik and Snowflake together to advance cloud data analytics strategies,” said Itamar Ankorion, SVP of Technology Alliances at Qlik. “These recent new features and enhancements, including Direct Query capabilities and Cloud Data Integration Services, are part of our continued investments to innovate and help customers accelerate time to value and drive more insights and action from their data.”

SEGA Chooses Qlik to Advance Popular Mobile Games with Data Analytics

Qlik announced that it has helped SEGA Corporation to become more data-driven. The leading gaming company streamlined its mobile game business with Qlik Sense®, generating faster and deeper gamer insights to better engage with mobile phone gamers.

In recent years, SEGA has recognized the increasing importance of the mobile game business. To improve its mobile games, SEGA depends on data to continuously understand evolving gamer needs and enable business and development teams to make informed decisions. Analysts for each game title have to conduct complex analyses, spanning vast amounts of game data and external data from various sources, including social media and advertisements, to improve games.

Analysts generate many routine reports to fulfill these analytical requirements, which often require system engineers to create algorithms that incorporate new analytical indicators and external data. This manual approach made it difficult and time-consuming for analysts to gain insights flexibly and promptly.

SEGA introduced Qlik’s solutions, including Qlik Sense, to bring in multiple data sources and automate the creation of routine reports. With Qlik, analysts can independently collect, process, and analyze the required data. They are also able to incorporate data from external sources without writing complex algorithms.

Analysts can now automatically generate 450 different reports, reducing the average analytics workload by 170 hours per game title. Qlik’s ability to integrate and standardize data frees up analysts’ time and allows them to focus on solving more complex tasks. They are also able to yield gamer insights more quickly, detect problems earlier, verify hypotheses, plan improvements and change direction according to market trends.

Masaki Takeuchi, Section Manager of Business & Data Analysis Section, Business Planning Department, Game Contents & Service Business Division at SEGA explains:

“With Qlik, we free analysts from the routine work of preparing data reports and enable them to spend more time solving complex analysis challenges. By extracting better insights from more data sources faster, our employees can better understand market movements and evaluate game performance from multiple perspectives. We now have a data analytics environment where we can more actively work on the next big game hit.”

Hiroshi Imai, Country Manager of QlikTech Japan K.K., said: “We are pleased to help SEGA conduct data analysis more efficiently, leading to new game insights. Through Qlik’s Active Intelligence vision, Sega can benefit from real-time information that triggers immediate actions, further developing SEGA’s data-driven corporate culture for even more exciting games.”
