To begin, following the success of the Dashboard Bundle released back in November, we are now launching the Visualization Bundle, which includes seven of the most popular visualization extensions from our open source community. These additional chart types dramatically improve how our customers can visualize data. More to come throughout the year with new and exciting advancements via our bundled extension strategy.
Two weeks ago, we ran the annual market trends webinar. As I’m dealing with the aftermath, or “postmortem”, I’m still overwhelmed by the response to it. It clearly struck a chord (or nerve), as displayed by record attendance numbers, and the sheer interaction on and offline. There were far too many questions – over 300 – to cover off in a blog.
According to the Smith School of Business, 41% of business leaders reported that they rely too much on intuition (also known as the infamous "gut feel") and not enough on data.
Back in 1972 the late, great Lou Reed released “Perfect Day”, a slow, dreamy ballad capturing a couple’s perfect day in the park. The song makes me think how strong relationships can make every day perfect. Strong relationships are built on trust.
Qlik is at the forefront of bringing augmented intelligence even further into analytics, helping business users scale their ability to explore and surface key insights from all their data. As we expand the role and use of analytics through our customer organizations, we know that making it easier for users to interact with data is essential to both increased adoption and higher data value.

Catch-phrases like “data is the new oil” are popping up everywhere, and rightfully so. Data is an extremely valuable asset, and organizations everywhere and across all industries are trying to capitalize on their own asset of data. One-way companies are trying to gain value from their data is through democratization.
Last June, we released the first phase of multi-cloud deployment options for Qlik Sense Enterprise – our first in a series of steps in delivering unparalleled flexibility and choice in how you deploy analytics across public and private clouds, and on-premise.
From augmented intelligence to multi-cloud deployment, here's a look back at our path to innovation in 2018.
New year, and time for the annual trends webinar. It’s the third time I have the honor to present it. As always, it takes a village to create this, and I’m thankful for all the people who chipped in. I’d like to highlight in particular Murray Grigo McMahon. His blog on data as an ecosystem, as well as great discussions, was a big source of inspiration, and will feature in the trends. This year, the title of the webinar is “The Dawn of Postmodern Analytics”.
