The Business Value of Moving to Qlik Sense Cloud
Imagine clocking an average of 209% ROI in just three years simply by implementing Qlik Cloud Analytics. Fact is that the figure is no longer imaginary. On the contrary, this figure represents a significant shift in the way major businesses use analytics today. Especially since modern firms must not only be able to access data but also turn it into immediate value, with agility and at scale.
In this blog, we explore how moving to Qlik Sense Cloud delivers that value pivot (led by SquareOne Technologies and Qlik). This piece will highlight the provider background, the cloud analytics platform, its AI-infused demo, the core business benefits, and the migration approach you should consider.
Unifying Data, Insight, and Innovation with Qlik and SquareOne
For over 16 years, SquareOne Technologies has been leading from the front where the Middle East’s digital transformation landscape is concerned. Over the years, we’ve empowered more than 600 enterprises to handle data, automate workflows, and gain visibility across the length and breadth of their operations. Supported by eight technology partners and a team of 230+ specialists, SquareOne helps organisations move from data chaos to clarity through trusted analytics solutions.
Our long-standing alliance with Qlik, a global analytics leader serving 40,000+ customers with over a billion dollars invested in R&D, further strengthens this foundation. Recognised by Gartner and Forrester as a leader in analytics and data integration, Qlik continues to shape the future of cloud-based intelligence.
The webinar was headlined by Jeelani Khursheed (Head of Analytics & AI, SquareOne Technologies) and Ashwath Raj (Senior Solutions Architect, Qlik), who offered deep insights into how this collaboration is redefining enterprise analytics across the region. SquareOne offers Qlik Sense solutions in the UAE and Qlik Sense services in Saudi Arabia, helping businesses access tailored cloud analytics capabilities.
Qlik Cloud Analytics – Beyond Dashboards
Driven by the Qlik associative engine, Qlik Cloud Analytics is steadily shaping the new age of decision intelligence. Users can now explore data freely and discover interrelationships that were not apparent or decipherable by conventional tools. This third-generation cloud analytics platform unifies data from SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, Snowflake, and even semi-structured or unstructured sources, offering a 360-degree business view without an infrastructural burden. Delivered through SaaS, it ensures scalability, automated updates, and optimised performance.
Qlik Cloud Analytics provides unlimited user-capacity licensing that enables leaders, analysts, and teams to obtain insights that ensure they remain accessible, accurate, and actionable. Enterprises can also leverage Insight Advisor Qlik Sense to generate AI-assisted suggestions and accelerate decision-making.
AI-Powered Insights in Action
In the webinar, Qlik showcased how its AI-driven analytics and predictive modelling radically transformed the user experience. A live demo featured a supermarket chain analysing a 24% surge in produce demand, where Qlik Cloud AI automatically detected anomalies, issued alerts, and explained root causes within the dashboard.
Through natural language queries, users simply asked, “Which products are high in demand but low in stock?” and received real-time visual insights backed by transparent data lineage. The session also highlighted Qlik Predict, a no-code machine learning tool that allowed users to test scenarios, forecast demand, and update live dashboards instantly.
The Business Benefits of Moving to Qlik Sense Cloud
Transitioning to Qlik Sense Cloud is more than a technical shift; it’s a strategic move toward business agility. A Forrester study has reported that enterprises adopting Qlik Cloud Analytics achieved 209% ROI in three years, 35% faster analysis, 50% quicker data preparation, and up to $2.1 million in legacy cost savings.
Beyond the metrics, organisations gain transformative benefits through a scalable cloud architecture, a data-capacity model with unlimited user access, and AI-driven decision-making that accelerates the path from insight to action. Its SaaS delivery lightens operational load while providing support for structured and unstructured data that empowers every department (from finance to HR) to work from a unified source of truth.
By embracing Qlik Sense Cloud, organisations accelerate performance, strengthen collaboration, and build a culture rooted in data-driven intelligence and agility. Businesses in the Middle East are now steadily exploring Qlik Sense solutions in Qatar to extend these advantages regionally.
