Following its acquisition of Talend last year, the Qlik has launched Qlik Talend Cloud, an integrated solution aimed at enhancing data trust and accessibility for enterprise AI applications. This new platform merges technologies from both Qlik and Talend, providing a comprehensive suite for data integration and AI value creation, according to the company.
The combined solution offers AI-augmented data integration capabilities for users across all skill levels, ensuring data integrity and accelerating AI deployment. The company claims it sets a new standard in data quality and reliability.
“Qlik Talend Cloud is built for enterprises that want to leverage AI at scale,” said Drew Clarke, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Data Business Unit. “By integrating the latest AI advancements with our trusted data solutions, we help businesses transform raw data into strategic assets. This reduces the risks associated with enterprise AI adoption.”
The platform’s design prioritises data trust by offering a unified package of data integration and quality capabilities, enabling data engineers and scientists to deploy AI-augmented data pipelines effectively. This reduces the risks typically associated with enterprise AI adoption, ensuring data is reliable and trustworthy.
The company said that the key feature of Qlik Talend Cloud is its expanded connectivity, supporting over 400 SaaS data sources through significant AI enhancements in its connector factory. This broad connectivity facilitates the seamless integration of diverse data sources, which is crucial for generating comprehensive business insights.
According to the company, the platform also integrates smoothly with Qlik analytics, streamlining the transformation of raw data into actionable business outcomes. This ensures that businesses can quickly and efficiently convert data into valuable insights, driving better decision-making processes.
Flexibility is another key aspect. The platform supports cloud-independent and technology-agnostic deployment, reducing technical debt and future-proofing AI adoption strategies. This flexibility ensures that businesses can adapt to evolving technological landscapes without incurring significant additional costs, said the company.
Qlik Talend Cloud caters to all user profiles by offering optimized low-code and pro-code options. This feature enhances productivity by allowing both business users and IT specialists to work more efficiently with the platform, regardless of their technical expertise.
