Since the unveiling of Qlik Cloud Government in Q3 of 2021, the releases of new innovations and technologies into the platform haven’t slowed down one bit.

With our most recent and significant release to date, Qlik Cloud Government now offers the most comprehensive SaaS platform across data integration, analytics, and automation that is FedRAMP and DOD Authorized. The newly authorized elements are available in Qlik Cloud Government today and include Qlik Cloud Data Integration, Qlik Application Automation, Direct Query, Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access, and more! These added capabilities increase the unique power of Qlik Cloud Government to securely support the end-to-end data lifecycles of our U.S. Public Sector customers. This is an incredible feature set enables our customers to take advantage of everything cloud like decreased operational costs, but also everything Qlik. Meaning our U.S. Public Sector customers who need the security of FedRAMP compliant SaaS offerings and also want the power of Qlik Cloud can now have it all within Qlik Cloud Government.

Government organizations have historically had big barriers in their way when wanting to deploy new technology and modernize operations. The ability to gain approvals for procuring hardware or moving data to systems would always take a long time in the ATO (Authorization to Operate) process. But FedRAMP has accelerated that lifecycle tremendously. What would have previously taken 12+ months can now be achieved in six or less. The trust in cloud software offerings certified via FedRAMP has opened up incredible opportunities for technological growth for U.S. Public sector organizations, which can now embrace new software and be able to move at the pace of their data and field new mission capabilities practically overnight.

Here at Qlik, we’ve put together an incredible SaaS solution in Qlik Cloud Government that helps our customers get the most of what cloud has to offer while also remaining compliant. Through leveraging data integration to build enterprise data fabric and real-time movement across data landscapes, coupled with the power of analytics and automation, our customers can easily meet the ‘right now’ demands of their missions.

This latest release of products into Qlik Cloud Government showcases our investment into the platform for our U.S. Public Sector customers to support their end-to-end data life-cycles.

  • Qlik Cloud Data Integration centralizes data operations and accelerates the discovery and availability of real-time, analytics-ready data by automating data streaming, refinement, and cataloging.

  • Application Automation offers a no-code studio to build workflows that automate processes and tasks across your organization and simplifies SaaS integrations without needing to be an expert in APIs.

  • Direct Query and Direct Access offer a wider spectrum of accessing and analyzing data securely whether stored behind your firewall or in a cloud database.

Qlik Cloud Government is also in the process of being approved by StateRAMP and very much like FedRAMP, this accreditation offers a mature security framework that accelerated cloud adoption for State and local governments, public education institutions, and special districts. We will continue to raise the bar and empower our customers to shift from a passive form of business intelligence into an active analytical environment that delivers real-time information in the moment to drive missions forward.
