More and more of our customers are making the jump with on-premise to cloud migration for all things Qlik. There’s a lot of good reason being that, but at the same time, something we’ve started to see a need to tackle recently is the perception that PlatformManager and Qlik Cloud don’t go together. We cannot stress enough how this isn’t the case.
We’ve been working hard to make sure that all the things you know and love about PlatformManager are still available when you migrate. Better still, it can be a big part of facilitating a migration in the first place – saving you time and money. Let us explain.
The Importance of Qlik Cloud in Modern Data Solutions
Any business that wants to move a chunk of data, the apps that data feeds, and really anything else stored digitally on-prem, knows how scary migration can be. It doesn’t matter if you’re the CTO or a lead dev, the idea of anything you need access to going up in smoke during a migration is a nightmare. Thankfully, with such a large shift toward cloud-based apps and server support, most businesses have processes in place to minimize the risk of data loss. But that doesn’t mean the process is a walk in the park.
The move to cloud-based infrastructure is not just a trend – it’s quickly becoming the cornerstone of modern data management. There’s a reason businesses of all sizes are looking to the cloud to streamline their operations, especially when it comes to managing vast amounts of data. Cloud infrastructure offers a range of key benefits that on-premise solutions simply can’t match.
If we’re talking about Qlik, the best example of a potential mismatch between your old on-prem setup and your shiny new cloud configuration is the data that feeds into all the apps that your BI teams use. No data means no BI output, which means no data-based decision-making. Or, potentially even worse, the wrong data is used, meaning decision-making is based on incorrect information.
During a migration to the cloud, PlatformManager can actually be used as a tool to make sure that when you move the apps, you still know what they’re connected to. No business of any size moves everything on a single day, so we’ve found a way to help support phased migration so that your BI teams never go a minute without the tools they need.
This is such a useful feature that we’ve seen some of our customers actually build their Qlik sense migration services around the functionality. Not only is that a huge compliment for us, but proof that just because you’re headed to the cloud doesn’t mean we can’t help. In fact, it’s quite literally the opposite of that!
If you need any other convincing, find out from Qlik themselves why Qlik Cloud can make such a big difference.

Benefits of Cloud-Based Infrastructure in Data Management
First and foremost, scalability is a major driver for cloud adoption. When your data needs grow, your infrastructure can grow with it – no need to invest in expensive new hardware or wait for installations. This means you can scale your storage and computing power on demand, whether you’re experiencing a temporary spike in usage or long-term growth. The same is true with Qlik Cloud Cloud, as it removes the physical constraints of on-premise IT infrastructure.
Another critical benefit is cost efficiency. By moving to the cloud, companies can drastically reduce their capital expenses. Rather than investing in costly on-prem hardware and dedicated IT teams to manage it, cloud services work on a pay-as-you-go model. You only pay for the resources you actually use, which frees up budget for innovation rather than maintenance.
Additionally, cloud infrastructure offers fantastic disaster recovery and security features. With data being stored remotely and backed up regularly, you eliminate the risk of data loss from hardware failures or physical disasters. Cloud providers also prioritize security, offering encryption, multi-factor authentication, and compliance with industry standards, which can give your business much greater peace of mind.
Qlik Cloud is only going to get more uptake. Whether you’re about to make the leap, or you’re thinking about how you could make it happen – we’re here to help provide you with a platform that supports Qlik Sense migration services.
