Qlik announced that it has expanded its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) with the recent debut of Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS in AWS Marketplace. AWS customers can now seamlessly and easily purchase Qlik's modern data analytics platform, with Qlik's unique associative engine and sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI), to enable enterprise-wide analytics in the cloud leveraging AWS.

The launch is the latest milestone in Qlik's relationship with AWS. Over the past two quarters, Qlik has been recognized as an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, along with achieving the Amazon Redshift Ready designation for its data analytics platform and the Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Service Ready designation for its data integration and data analytics platforms.

"We are delighted to welcome Qlik to AWS Marketplace," said Garth Fort, Director of Product Management, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services, Inc. "By accessing Qlik's solutions in AWS Marketplace, customers can accelerate the migration of data and strategic workloads at scale on AWS."

Qlik's expanded relationship with AWS now includes a wide variety of certifications and designations across its entire end-to-end data and analytics platform, including:

•  AWS Advanced Technology Partner designation, which recognizes Qlik's value proposition, alignment and commitment to delivering both data integration and analytics solutions to customers on AWS
• AWS Data and Analytics Competency designation, which ties to Qlik's strengths in collecting, storing, governing and analyzing data at scale
• Amazon Redshift Ready designation, which validates the ability of Qlik's entire platform to integrate with Amazon Redshift, helping customers load and transform analytics-ready data on AWS, along with architecting and implementing analytics platforms on AWS
• AWS Migration Competency designation, which is crucial for customers looking to accelerate and simplify data and workload migrations from their legacy infrastructure to AWS

By making its solutions available in AWS Marketplace, Qlik creates a clear path for customers to adopt Qlik alongside AWS as part of their core, strategic data and analytics needs.

"Leveraging Qlik and AWS gives us the ability to bring insights to life using curated data sets displayed in publicly available tools," said Sue Cook, VP Operations & Planning of ClimateWorks Foundation. "The flexibility of AWS, when combined with Qlik Sense's ability to blend data sources in the cloud, also helps us seamlessly scale and grow the use of data across our organization. And, with Qlik's partner, IPC Global, monitoring and maintaining our AWS instances, we are freeing up valuable IT resources for value-add projects." 

"Being available in AWS Marketplace, along our AWS Advanced Technology Partner status and certifications, gives customers confidence that deploying Qlik alongside AWS can help drive more value from all their data in the cloud," said Itamar Ankorion, SVP of Technology Alliances at Qlik. "Whether it's deploying SaaS BI in the cloud, migrating analytic workloads or building real-time data integration with AWS as part of data warehouse and data lake initiatives, our unique data integration and analytics platforms can deliver for customers leveraging AWS."
