Qlik Cloud Data Integration Lets You Build an Enterprise Data Fabric
Qlik has announced the launch of Qlik Cloud Data Integration, an Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service (eiPaaS) that it says will deliver a real-time data integration fabric to connect enterprise applications and data sources to the cloud.

The platform is a set of SaaS services designed for analytics and data engineers deploying enterprise integration and transformation initiatives. The services work together as a data fabric that unifies, transforms, and delivers data across an organization via reusable data pipelines.
Qlik Cloud Data Integration provides the fabric to align and deliver any relevant data, be it on-premises or the cloud, to applications and systems through any delivery option with real-time movement and advanced transformation.
Qlik says this makes data easier to find, govern, and deliver.
Under the hood, the solution relies on a common set of cloud services that integrate with every major cloud platform, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure Synapse, Databricks, and Snowflake.
It also provides strong metadata management and data lineage so that it is clear where data came from and how it was transformed, increasing trust in data, and consequently increasing its use. Finally, a no-code visual interface and prebuilt templates let data engineers automate workflows to quickly build new cloud applications and data APIs.
Improving the access, real-time movement, and advanced transformation of data between sources and systems across the enterprise is crucial to organizations realizing the full power of their data, says James Fisher, chief product officer at Qlik.
On this front, Fisher says Qlik Cloud Data Integration helps create that real-time fabric between any data source, target, and destination, leveraging the power of the cloud to enable everyone in the enterprise to act with certainty through data.
“Cloud data integration technologies and services are a critical component of managing data pipelines and downstream analytics use cases in the modern data environment,” said Stewart Bond, vice president of Data Intelligence and Integration Software research at IDC.
“Qlik’s set of technology services provide users with data access and integration capabilities across hybrid and multi-cloud platforms, enabling management of modern data to activate data and analytics,” said Bond.
Qlik Cloud Data Integration is now available. Additional information is available from Qlik here.
