Accelerating ISV Growth with Qlik and AWS

Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) must continuously differentiate their offerings to thrive in today’s competitive SaaS market. Customers have high expectations and often carry a healthy dose of skepticism when a new vendor claims to deliver “the best solution” for productivity, cost savings, and revenue growth.

To break through this status quo and deliver true value, ISVs need to provide smart, scalable, and secure solutions—faster than the competition.

That’s where Qlik and Amazon Web Services (AWS) come together. Together, they provide ISVs with the cloud infrastructure, data and analytics platform, services, and partnership support required to build, deliver, and scale modern, data-driven applications.

By combining Qlik’s leading analytics and data integration capabilities with AWS’s powerful cloud infrastructure, ISVs can embed intelligence directly into their products, streamline data operations, and accelerate time to market—while minimizing the overhead of managing complex data pipelines, analytics environments, and AI workloads.

A Robust Foundation Built for ISVs

With Qlik on AWS, ISVs get a SaaS platform designed to quickly innovate and scale without compromising performance and security:

  • Data Integration – Ingest, transform, and unify data from multiple sources, including SaaS apps, on-prem systems, and streaming feeds.

  • Real-Time Analytics – Deliver comprehensive insights instantly, powered by Qlik’s unique analytics engine and AI capabilities.

  • Embedded Intelligence – Integrate dashboards, analytics, and AI assistants directly into product workflows using robust APIs and a modern, no-code embedding framework.

  • Enterprise-Grade Governance – Ensure compliance and security with AWS’s trusted cloud foundation and Qlik’s fine-grained security and governance controls.

  • Solution Scalability – Confidently scale analytics and AI capabilities across Qlik’s global SaaS footprint, built on AWS’s ecosystem.

This enables ISVs to deliver far more than static dashboards; they can offer intelligent, context-aware data exploration that drive adoption, engagement, and long-term growth.

Partners Helping Partners to Grow

Besides the integrated technology stack, AWS and Qlik have dedicated teams focused on ISVs, collaboratively helping them to succeed. Through this collaboration, ISVs gain the best of both worlds, leveraging expertise and services from both partners to:

  • Migrate Efficiently – Modernize from legacy systems without disrupting customers.

  • Scale on Demand – Handle rapid growth and traffic spikes without re-architecting.

  • Enable AI Quickly – Deploy predictive and generative AI features without standing up additional infrastructure.

  • Real-time Data Access – Reduce refresh and load times dramatically, improving customer experience.

For ISVs, this means continuous support for shorter development cycles, faster time to market, and more focus on building the product features that truly matter.

Continuous AI Innovation Made Easy

Innovation is embedded in the DNA of both Qlik and AWS, with AI at the center of it. From automation and predictive AI to generative and agentic AI, innovation is seamlessly integrated into current solutions and future roadmaps.

Through the AWS Marketplace “AI Agents and Tools” category, ISVs can easily access Qlik Cloud Analytics and its extensive AI capabilities, deploying predictive and conversational insights, analytics, and automation securely at scale.

Key benefits include:

  • Automated indexing and retrieval – Surface the right data at the right time.

  • Natural language interaction – Let end users simply ask questions and receive instant answers.

  • No-code predictive models – Forecasts and predictive insights driving users’ action

  • Security-first AI – Maintain compliance while unlocking new automation and intelligence capabilities.

This creates exciting opportunities for ISVs to differentiate their products with intelligent, automated user experiences. Many ISV partners are already experiencing the benefits of this partnership and growing their businesses with us.
