What is Qlik?

Qlik is a platform for data integration, analytics, and AI: you connect and unlock data from all your sources, monitor its quality, and turn it into dashboards, predictions, and AI answers. Everything runs on a single reliable data foundation, with a unique associative engine that surfaces connections in your data that other tools miss. This means AI assistants such as Claude or Copilot can also work securely on your Qlik data, within your existing permissions and governance. E-mergo has been a Qlik Elite Solution Provider and business partner for dashboards, data strategy, and the move to Qlik Cloud for 20 years.

Reliable data as the foundation

Reliable data as the foundation

Good AI starts with good data. With Qlik Talend Cloud, you unlock data from a wide range of sources and make it available for analysis and AI, all within a single platform. By automating your data warehouse and data lake, you save the time otherwise spent on manual work, and with real-time and near real-time data flows, you always work with up-to-date figures. Built-in data quality, trust scores, and governance ensure that the data you use is accurate and traceable: the foundation you can build AI on without surprises later.

An engine that understands context

Under the hood runs Qlik's associative engine: the difference between an AI that gives isolated answers and an AI that truly understands your data. The engine brings all your data together, surfaces connections and blind spots that query-based tools miss, and calculates at the speed of thought, even with large data volumes and many users. Users explore their own data in Qlik Cloud Analytics, discover patterns, and turn insight into action: automating reports, sharing them with colleagues, and connecting them to other applications.

AI and agents that work with you

Qlik is built to feed AI with data you can trust, and to go beyond simply providing answers. With Qlik Answers, you ask questions about your own reports and knowledge sources and get a well-founded answer with source citations, without hallucinations. Through the Qlik MCP server, you let AI assistants and agents such as Claude or Copilot work directly on your Qlik data: querying data, gathering insights, and even carrying out actions, within the governance and permissions you've already set up. That's an important difference from a language model let loose on a standalone data export: such a model only sees part of your data, doesn't know the underlying connections, and doesn't calculate figures but guesses based on text. With Qlik, AI works via the associative engine on your entire, up-to-date data foundation, with real calculations instead of guesswork, and the permissions you've already set up simply continue to apply. This way, AI works on your reliable figures, not on a standalone export. We're happy to help you set this up securely.

Our approach with Qlik

Data only delivers value once everyone in your organization can trust the answer. We support you in setting up your Qlik environment, from data integration with Qlik Talend Cloud to dashboards and AI with Qlik Cloud Analytics, and in doing so we look not only at technology but also at data quality, governance, and adoption within your organization. For a migration or new implementation, we start with a readiness scan of your current situation and jointly determine the roadmap from there, with access control and data quality in place from day one.

E-mergo has been a Qlik Elite Solution Provider for 20 years and is certified to standards such as ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and NEN 4400-1. We actively transfer our knowledge, so your team can keep building on its own and isn't dependent on us for day-to-day management.

Case: Vopak

Since 2016, Koninklijke Vopak, the world's largest independent tank storage service provider, has worked closely with E-mergo. By now, we've developed and manage more than 50 Qlik Sense dashboards, covering everything from jetty processing times to safety and finance insights. Besides building dashboards, we monitor the architecture and handle upgrades and management. "That first dashboard acted as a flywheel for what followed," says Edwin van Pelt, Global IT Service Delivery Manager Data & Analytics at Vopak.

FAQ

  • Is Qlik a BI tool or an AI platform?

    Qlik started as a BI tool, but has since become a fully integrated data and AI platform. With Qlik Talend Cloud you handle data integration and data quality, with Qlik Cloud Analytics you get dashboards, predictive analytics, and generative AI, all on the same reliable data foundation.

  • What's the difference between Qlik Talend Cloud and Qlik Cloud Analytics?

    Qlik Talend Cloud connects, transforms, and monitors the quality of your data from all your sources. Qlik Cloud Analytics turns that data into dashboards, insights, and AI answers. They work together on one platform, but you can also start with just one of the two.

  • What is Qlik Answers?

    Qlik Answers lets you ask questions about your own reports and knowledge sources in plain language. You get a well-founded answer with source citations, based on your own trusted data rather than a standalone export or the open internet.

  • Can I work directly on my Qlik data with ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot?

    Yes, via the Qlik MCP server you connect AI assistants and agents directly to your Qlik environment. They can query data and retrieve insights within the governance and permissions you've already set up in Qlik.

  • Does Qlik also work on-premises or hybrid?

    Yes. You can choose a full SaaS solution in Qlik Cloud, or a hybrid setup where your data stays where it needs to, with the cloud of your choice.

  • I'm still working with QlikView or on-premises Qlik Sense, can I switch?

    Certainly. We guide you step by step through the move to Qlik Cloud, including bringing along existing dashboards and setting up data quality and AI capabilities.

  • Why should I use Qlik instead of letting an LLM loose directly on my data?

    A language model working directly on a standalone data export only sees part of your data, doesn't know the underlying connections, and doesn't calculate figures but guesses based on text. That leads to hallucinations and an answer you can't properly verify. Qlik applies AI to your entire, up-to-date data foundation via the associative engine: connections are actually calculated rather than guessed, and Qlik Answers always gives you an answer with source citations. What's more, the permissions and governance you've already set up simply continue to apply, so an AI assistant never sees more than a user would be allowed to see themselves.
