Acceleration Economy is on location at QlikWorld in Las Vegas this week. In this video, practitioner-analysts Wayne Sadin and John Siefert share some of their top impressions from the event. Qlik is on the Acceleration Economy Top 10 Shortlist of Data Modernization Enablers.

Highlights

01:15 — John shares his highlights from his interview with Qlik CEO Mike Capone. First is the focus and energy going toward co-creation partnership strategies and how those are focused on customer outcomes. The company continues to innovate from inorganic (acquisitions) sources as well as from inside the organization. Qlik is delivering a level of innovation that outpaces many other firms and organizations. It’s working with customers and partners to deliver new functions: 80% of product deliverables are coming from customer requests.

02:59 — Wayne shares highlights of his meetings with customers, including Merck and JBS. Merck is using Qlik technology to speed up clinical trials and get more accurate information faster. This not only saves lives, it also saves money. “If I’m sick and you get the medicine to me three months earlier, because the trial went well, that’s a life saved,” Wayne says.

Which companies are the most important vendors in data? Check out the Acceleration Economy Data Modernization Top 10 Shortlist.

04:12 — JBS is a meat producer. If it can produce grocery products more effectively and efficiently, as well as fix supply chain problems, then it’s solving data-driven problems and feeding the world.

05:46 — In Merck’s case, there’s also an opportunity to speed the commencement of trials, attract diverse populations to participate in trials, and ensure that they get the right study group to get the right answer. John and Wayne learned that this work is a very important part of the end of the drug development pipeline.

07:19 — Today’s keynote address detailed Qlik’s 30-year history and how its work has aligned over the years with many major developments in the information technology world, spanning a time from the introduction of Netscape’s Navigator browser through to ChatGPT coming out in recent months.

08:32 — Wayne emphasizes the point that “it’s not about data, it’s about quality data turning data into information, which is data plus context.” Qlik acquisitions have revolved around data governance, ingestion, quality; the upcoming Talend acquisition gives the company even more powerful tools.

09:06 — John says company execs made clear that customers don’t have to utilize Qlik end to end. It will support different data sources, analytics engines, and ingestion tools.

09:35 — Qlik also addressed its integration of automated machine learning (AutoML), which uses artificial intelligence to suggest the best tool or the next question to ask. CIOs and leaders need to be aware of the risk of data leakage, especially in a world with ChatGPT, where there’s an AI model to find every bit of data that ever leaks out of your organization or gets published. That’s a scary prospect for any business that may need to compete with less sophisticated tools.
