Throughout 2020, a challenging year for so many in our community, Qlik remained laser-focused on delivering groundbreaking and transformative innovations across our portfolio.
2020 underscored the importance of real-time data and decisions to allow organizations to gain insights faster and navigate unforeseen business challenges. The events from this past year also helped accelerate the migration to the cloud for many organizations, and the need to improve data pipelines to achieve active data consumption to stay ahead. To support these trends, Qlik continues to significantly advance our technology offering and platform innovations across Data Integration and Data Analytics.
We pushed boundaries in business intelligence with our robust cloud enhancements, intelligent alerting, best-of-class visualizations, and market-leading augmented analytics. Qlik proved to be the fastest-growing Data Integration company in the space with deeper partnerships and integrations with leading technology vendors such as AWS, Microsoft, Google – among others. We also gained impressive industry recognition from Snowflake and Microsoft and continued to expand our footprint with the acquisitions of Knarr and Blendr.io. Together, Qlik can now deliver new levels of data pipeline automation and insights for businesses to achieve greater success in a data-driven world.
As part of our effort to continue the momentum and acceleration of business value in the cloud, Qlik is modifying the Product Release cycle in 2021 to align with evolving customer preferences and our product strategy. Qlik continues to prioritize SaaS in product development efforts, and as such, we are adjusting our release cycle to improve how we deliver capabilities to the cloud in a fast and agile way. This year we will move to a fully continuous release cycle to operate and deliver more capabilities to the cloud for faster time to market and value to our customers. New and exciting capabilities in Qlik Sense SaaS will be communicated right in the product and personalized to the user, to help maximize awareness and enhance the experience for our customers.
Today, we are thrilled to announce the following two new capabilities to be delivered later this first quarter, to further support our customers’ migration to the cloud.
Other changes to our release cycle include quarterly releases of our client-managed solutions, following a similar approach to previous years, but driving greater development efficiencies across our data analytics and data integration platforms. These changes will allow our cloud offerings to evolve at a faster pace, while continuing our investments and innovations in a predictable delivery cycle for client-managed solutions.
