Consulting
Qlik.
QlikView and Qlik Sense, On Premise or Cloud: from the data sources to the dashboards. Consulting led by a Qlik Luminary, for companies across Europe.
What does a Qlik consultancy do?
A Qlik consultancy designs, builds and maintains your QlikView and Qlik Sense applications: it connects your data sources, develops the load script (ETL) and the data model, builds the dashboards each team uses and configures the server, On Premise or in Qlik Cloud, with its security and licences. At Digital Fox Data we do it end to end for companies across Europe.
We analyse each of your organisation's data sources and develop the ETL script following Qlik Best Practices, with a Data Layer methodology (Extractor, Entity and Functional layers) that simplifies the code, optimises load times and guarantees data quality. On top of that model we propose dashboards with controlled dimensions, metrics and variables, and we check that the volumes match the source.
On the Qlik Sense server we review Security Rules, Streams, users and the assignment of licences or tokens. We also work with Qlik NPrinting to send automatic reports by email and with Qlik Data Transfer to load local data sources into the server applications.
Our Qlik team is led by Daniel García Mejía: Qlik Luminary in 2018, 2019 and 2020, President of the Qlik User Group Iberia and 70+ Qlik projects delivered over more than 10 years in Business Intelligence.

Qlik consulting FAQ
Do you work with both QlikView and Qlik Sense?
Yes, with both, On Premise or in the cloud. They share the same associative engine, so much of the load script and the data model can be reused between them. We explain the differences and when to choose each in Qlik Sense vs QlikView.
Can you help us migrate from QlikView to Qlik Sense?
Yes. We start with an assessment of the applications that are actually used, migrate the script and the model, rebuild the dashboards with Qlik Sense best practices and configure security and licences. Qlik's conversion utilities speed up the start, but they do not do the migration on their own. Step by step in migrating from QlikView to Qlik Sense.
Can you review a Qlik project we already have?
Yes. We review the ETL script, the applications and the server configuration, detect errors and propose improvements without starting from scratch. It is our optimisation service.
Which other Qlik products do you cover?
Besides QlikView and Qlik Sense: NPrinting for automatic email reports, Qlik Data Transfer, Qlik Replicate, Qlik Compose, Qlik Talend and Qlik AutoML. If you want to ask your data questions in natural language, we explain what Qlik Answers is.
How much does Qlik consulting cost?
It depends on the number and quality of the data sources, how many applications and users there are and whether there is a migration from QlikView. We work on fixed-scope projects or with blocks of hours; Qlik licences are separate. Tell us about your case and we will propose the format that fits.
Qlik or Power BI?
It depends on your ecosystem, your data and who will use the dashboards. We work with both tools and compare them in Qlik vs Power BI: differences and which to choose.
