Qlik to collaborate with AWS on data and AI capabilities

Qlik, a global data integration, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) provider, has signed a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS). New investments will simplify the path towards reliable and trusted enterprise AI by combining Qlik’s solutions with AWS cloud and generative AI technologies.

"Our SCA with AWS will accelerate our customers’ ability to use data and AI to sharpen their competitive edge," said Casey George, Executive VP, Global Sales at Qlik.

"Together, we are investing to make AI more tangible and actionable, to enable companies to capitalise on their data foundations. This focused collaboration will deliver practical, industry-specific applications."

"This collaboration with Qlik helps customers to harness advanced analytics and cloud technologies more effectively in generative AI deployments," said Chris Grusz, MD, Technology Partnerships, AWS.

"Our combined efforts are focused on simplifying how businesses integrate and leverage AI for measurable gains." Qlik and AWS will collaborate on initiatives in four key areas:

Drive AI app development

The SCA will accelerate collaborative innovation that enables customers to derive value from generative AI applications including seamless integrations with AWS generative AI services, such as Amazon Bedrock, a fully-managed service that offers a choice of high-performing foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies via a single API, along with a broad set of capabilities organisations need to build generative AI applications with security, privacy, and responsible AI.

Enhance SAP data utilisation

The collaboration will allow customers to gain greater value from their SAP data by migrating their data environments, enabling modern solutions that leverage Qlik’s broad data integration capabilities for both SAP and non-SAP data sources.

Streamline data compliance

The collaboration will further enable compliance, privacy, and sovereignty requirements across additional AWS regions. This will support customer migration and innovation while enabling adherence to critical regulatory standards.

Accelerate AI adoption

Qlik and AWS will intensify co-marketing and co-selling efforts.

Through this association, HARMAN Digital Transformation Solutions is also helping our customers streamline, simplify and modernise enterprise operations and adopt AI-based differentiators”, said Nick Parrotta, President - Digital Transformation Solutions & Chief Digital and Information Officer (CDIO) at HARMAN.
