Gartner has once again named Qlik a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, a position we have held for a decade. In that time, the landscape around data integration has shifted. Hyperscalers are moving up, large vendors are tightening their stacks, and acquisitions are reshaping customer choice. For CIOs and CDOs, that consolidation changes the question. It is less about who sits where in the quadrant, and more about how much control you still have over your own data and AI strategy.

In today’s product landscape, analytics isn’t just about showing insights. It’s about moving data into the tools where work actually happens, so that users can make informed decisions in context. Users expect analytics to integrate with their systems, whether that means sending a lead to a CRM, creating a Jira ticket, or triggering a workflow downstream. As product owners, that means one thing: your analytics experience should enable seamless data flows across systems.

Modern data platforms combine automation and generative AI to make data operations for every use case more accessible and scalable than ever.

This sentiment is increasingly common across organizations that acknowledge AI’s rising influence but haven’t yet aligned their training, expectations, or workflows with the new reality.
