Qlik Accelerates Move to Cloud with New Analytics Migration Tool

Complimentary migration tool available through Qlik and certified partners—accelerating cloud adoption and modernizing analytics environments

Qlik^®, a global leader in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence, today announced the acquisition of the Qloud Cover Migration technology from Stretch Qonnect, a long-standing Qlik Elite Solution Provider. This automated solution, to be branded as the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool, eliminates the complexity of migrating from QlikView^®, Qlik Sense^®, and NPrinting^® to Qlik Cloud^®—a persistent barrier to cloud adoption. It will be made available through Qlik at no cost to customers or through our Qlik-certified partners.

This acquisition gives Qlik customers and partners access to a proven, enterprise-grade migration engine—purpose-built for the Qlik ecosystem. While the shift to Qlik Cloud unlocks agility, faster innovation, and AI-driven capabilities, migration remains one of the most costly and disruptive hurdles. For many, it’s not about if they’ll move to the cloud, but how. Qlik Analytics Migration Tool delivers that how—with speed, structure, and scale—turning the first mile of modernization into an advantage, not a barrier.

“Too many organizations want to modernize, but they’re stuck—held back by the complexity and risk of migration,” said Roberto Sigona, Chief Operating Officer at Qlik. “This is about clearing that roadblock. We’re not just making it easier to move to the cloud—we’re making it practical, responsible, and immediate. Customers shouldn’t have to choose between keeping what works and gaining what’s next.”

The newly acquired migration tool provides full automation across the entire Qlik modernization process. It supports both QlikView and Qlik Sense environments and is designed to handle large-scale, complex deployments. Key benefits include:

• Faster, smarter scoping of migration projects: Automatically extracts metadata from client-managed environments and helps users design and implement the corresponding Qlik Cloud structure — removing guesswork from planning and reducing assessment cycles.
• Reduced effort and error in re-platforming: Automatically migrates Qlik objects like applications and data connections to Qlik Cloud, including making adjustments to legacy syntax, file paths, and custom logic.
• Flexible migration paths for every customer: Enables guided workflows for both self-service users and certified partners, with support for phased or full cutover strategies.
• Streamlined dashboard migration with visual continuity: Accelerates the transition of visualizations into Qlik Cloud, retaining layout intent and reducing rebuild effort.
• Lower migration risk with built-in validation and control: Provides rollback, backup, and content verification—ensuring safe transitions without jeopardizing continuity.

To further accelerate adoption, Qlik is also offering a complimentary Qlik Cloud tenant for customers who do not yet have one. Available at no cost until their next renewal, this tenant provides a ready-made environment to begin migrations, run proofs of concept, and explore Qlik Cloud’s full capabilities. Customers can request access through their Qlik representative or partner contact.

“We built this solution to solve a problem we kept seeing in the field—migrations that took too long, cost too much, or stalled entirely,” said Martin Sahlin, CEO and Founder of Stretch Qonnect. “It’s been proven across industries, in real-world deployments. Now, with Qlik bringing it to the full customer base, it’s ready to make a much bigger impact.”

Tightly integrated with Qlik Cloud APIs and governance models, the tool accelerates transitions while maintaining control, accuracy, and business continuity.

“Migrating to Qlik Cloud was a strategic priority for Lundbeck, and this tool gave us a structured, reliable way to make that move at scale,” said Stine Thomasen, Senior Manager for Business Intelligence, Lundbeck. “We were able to modernize thousands of analytics assets across global teams while maintaining continuity and control. It’s enabled faster insight delivery, better alignment, and a stronger foundation for innovation in how we use data.”

Designed to scale through Qlik’s global partner network, the migration capability helps certified partners deliver modernization faster and at lower cost. It turns complex projects into repeatable, high-quality offerings. For customers with in-house resources, a self-service option provides the same structured guidance—making cloud transitions accessible to any team.
