Are you struggling to unlock the full potential of your data across various systems and databases? Qlik has some exciting news for you. In a recent announcement, Dez Blanchfield caught up with Dan Potter, the VP for product marketing at Qlik, to introduce the Connector Factory – a groundbreaking initiative aimed at helping organisations harness the power of their data.
Addressing the Data Integration Challenge
Dan Potter explains that the challenge of unlocking data goes beyond traditional databases. With the proliferation of hundreds of databases and thousands of SaaS applications, organisations are faced with the daunting task of moving and shaping data for their analytics initiatives. The Connector Factory is Qlik’s strategic response to this challenge, with the goal of providing a thousand connectors to solve the myriad of data integration needs that customers encounter.
A Solution for All Industries
One of the key questions surrounding the Connector Factory is whether it is a niche fit or applicable across all industries. According to Dan Potter, the core databases and SaaS applications cater to a wide range of industries. Qlik’s strategy is to prioritise the databases and applications that are most commonly used by their customers while also addressing critical niche applications and legacy systems with API interfaces.
Seamless Integration into the Qlik Platform
From an integration standpoint, the Connector Factory is not an add-on or side element. It is seamlessly integrated into the Qlik platform, serving as a core foundational piece that provides immediate benefits to organisations using Qlik for data integration, analytics, and application automation.
