January 28th is Data Privacy Day, an international effort to empower individuals and encourage businesses to respect privacy, safeguard personal data and enable trust. In fact, it so important that the National Cybersecurity Alliance has a focused program for a full week. Data privacy is not just a legal concern, it concerns everyone.

Generative AI was undoubtedly the most important data moment of 2023, and created a level of excitement for our industry that will certainly continue to be felt in 2024. As we welcome the new year, I am thrilled to share that Qlik is hitting the ground running on that front: today we are announcing the acquisition of groundbreaking technology from Kyndi, an innovator in natural language processing, search, and generative AI.

Today, at Qlik, we continue our exciting journey by revealing a completely new brand and website. This transformation goes beyond aesthetics, symbolizing our dynamic evolution at the forefront of data integration, analytics, and AI. Our new identity encapsulates innovation, clarity, and agility. In the current landscape, CEOs face the challenge of harnessing AI effectively—a realm where Qlik's unique agility and independence provide unparalleled advantage.

Data has had quite the year, hasn’t it? I have worked in the data and analytics space more years than I would like to admit, but I can honestly say that it’s been one of the most exciting, wild rides in recent memory. Qlik has been along for that ride, and brought quite a bit of excitement all on its own. So I thought I would recap the five moments that really stand out for me from the world of data… and Qlik in 2023. But, hang on.

I consider myself pretty lucky: I love technology and get paid to pursue my hobby. I also get to say yes to opportunities that come my way that can increase value to my company and our clients. It was one of these opportunities that led us to adopt change data capture (CDC) technology, resulting in an added value proposition for our customers.

Qlik’s partnership with AWS provides customers with an end-to-end data integration and analytics solution for AWS. Our accelerates data delivery and readiness for analytics from a wide range of enterprise data sources. And our empowers users at any skill level to freely explore all your data and uncover hidden insights. Add to that Qlik Staige and you can find out how we can help modernize with AI.

With ever increasing data complexity, sources, and targets, enterprises are rightly trying to simplify their data stacks and workflows. Organizations want to build out their data fabrics with elements that work together, rather than spend time integrating various solutions.

Every September, world leaders, business executives, investors, NGOs, and global citizens descend upon New York City to learn and discuss progress towards building a sustainable future for all. Although there was much excitement and energy surrounding the UN General Assembly and Climate Week this year, there was very sobering news that more must be done if we expect to achieve the goals set out by the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) and Paris Climate Accords.

Have you heard the phrase “AI won't replace humans - but humans with AI will replace humans without AI”? I personally love this quote because it perfectly encapsulates the nature of the anticipated workforce shift from the rise of generative AI. As I wrote back in 2017, the power of AI is not about machines supplanting human abilities, but rather about a symbiotic relationship between humans and AI. I think the Star Trek analogy I used then is standing the test of time…
