Under the Radar: What should we know about data analytics software firm Qlik’s Asia business and its recent moves to expand in the region?

Money Matters with Hongbin Jeong and Chua Tian Tian

Converting complex data landscapes into actionable insights that can drive strategic business outcomes.

That’s the work of our guest for today, Qlik.

Founded in 1993, Qlik is a software company that focuses on data integration, analytics and artificial intelligence, providing enterprise grade artificial intelligence and machine learning powered solutions that work with diverse data sources.

The firm serves over 40,000 global customers including some of the brands that we interact with on a day-to-day basis.

Take for instance, Dominos Pizza. In this scenario, Qlik built a comprehensive data tracker to streamline Dominos Pizza’s 85,000 data sources into a single view of its customers and global operations.

Another example would be how Qlik worked with Urban Outfitters to reduce the time taken to complete store level reporting from hours to minutes. But who does Qlik work with right here in Asia? What should we know about its business and the opportunities present in the region?

Meanwhile, Qlik is also an interesting company to look at right now because it is expanding through both organic and inorganic means.

It had in November 2024 announced the launch of a new cloud region in Mumbai to enhance its global cloud infrastructure and meet growing demand for local data storage and advanced AI capabilities. But what are the opportunities in India and how far would a deeper presence in India benefit regional ASEAN markets?

The firm had also in May 2023 acquired data management vendor Talend, but how has it integrated the firm into its business, and how has the acquisition benefitted Qlik more than one year down the road?

On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Chong Yang Chan, Managing Director, ASEAN & Greater China Region, Qlik.
