Migration from QlikView to Qlik Sense

For a client in the chemical industry we handled a migration from QlikView to Qlik Sense.

The client decided on the upgrade path to be able to take advantage of the improved capabilities of Qlik Sense compared to QlikView. These include enhanced data mining and analytics, Augmented Intelligence and AI-enabled insights.

Trilations was called upon to facilitate this migration. Our consultants performed an in-depth analysis of the setup and the use of the current QlikView apps. They  defined user groups based on apps used in common. Based on these user groups a migration path with minimal business impact  was defined. During this analysis phase any new reports to be created based on the technical possibilities of the new platform were identified and described.

In a second phase the apps were converted to Qlik Sense per user group. The original QlikView SAP data extraction and transformation was kept intact in order to validate the converted apps.

In a third phase the data extraction was adapted and migrated to Qlik Sense. NPrinting reports were also migrated in this phase.

After the initial migration the new reports and dashboards identified during the analysis phase were developed and put in production.

By completing this project our client was able to achieve a significant increase in efficiency without any impact on productivity during the migration itself.
