Beyond that, Alexander loves to work in interdisciplinary teams, which combine their best to create extraordinary solutions for our customers.
Besides the fact that Qlik Sense has been on the market for almost a decade now and Qlik SaaS has become the new shiny platform going way beyond the scope of data visualization, there is still a large share of customers running QlikView installations. Since these customers are always at risk for discontinuing Qlik, the question of how to move them successfully to Qlik Sense and Qlik SaaS is of utmost importance for the medium- and long-term commercial success of Qlik. By the example of a Managed Tax Analytics solution Deloitte operates for a large international consumer goods producer and retailer, this session will provide insights on: 1) How external shock Events like Brexit or COVID create windows of opportunity for change beyond the pure necessary 2) How internal dynamics and operating modes of Qlik partners can make them agents of change or stagnation 3) The crucial relevance of the Qlik technology partners to face the massive competition from more significant BI vendors.

I work as a Qlik Developer at Ikano Bank, where I've been working for approximately 1 year. This is my first time working with Qlik and I'm excited to be part of Ikano Banks transformation from Qlikview to Qlik Sense SaaS. Previously I have some Power BI experience which I believe provided me with good experience to easier get into the Qlik world.
With Qlik Sense SaaS, we found the right motivation for ourselves as well as the arguments for investing and taking a leap on our analytics journey. An organization wide cloud- and SaaS first strategy was in place and had paved parts of the path already. When we listen to our users and see what we can achieve today we can say with confidence that we made the right decision. We have a plan and a goal for our SaaS journey, but as we learn, and the platform evolves the path to it and the concept of what Qlik Sense will mean for us and our organization constantly evolves.

- Data Mart Product Manager and Data Mart Business Analyst- Procurement Business Unit Controller
- Procurement Controller [80%] & Part-Time Student
Easy accessible data, executive management reporting and a large userbase on Qlik Sense – all this is the result of years of tuning by the Procurement Controlling department of Siemens Smart Infrastructure. Starting at a diverse tool environment, the efforts to create a monthly report cost the department an immense amount of precious working time. Different interfaces and passwords, not user friendly masks and lack of standardization was the battles the users had to face every month with high manual effort.
All this manual labor was transformed step by step by automatizing the data collection, integrating Qlik Sense, training the users and establishing a guided analytics dashboard with a state of the art functionality. Supported by the SI IT DataMart the data resides in a secured cloud environment powered by automatized data access and complex data models in the background. The results are solid. Siemens realizes four key criteria with their units dashboards:
• Their ease of use by standardization and a single source of truth as well as a connection of multiple sources
• High user acceptance through high quality information, trust in the app and data preparation and time saving for all users
• Efficiency through automatic updates, and single point of entry to all applications
• Cost: No time loss for adapting to different tool user interfaces, saving time to focus on operational tasks to generate business value.
All of this, the Journey and the end result will be shared in this breakout session, a guided and gripping development with the best in class use case to take away.
