Prior to the migration, the manufacturer's data ecosystem was constrained by architectural and software limitations:
‍

• Outdated User Experience: The legacy features in QlikView hindered the delivery of a modern, intuitive analytics ecosystem for business users.  

• Lack of Augmented Intelligence: Advanced capabilities like AI-driven Insight Advisor, NLP-powered global search, and intelligent chart suggestions were unavailable, limiting interactive data exploration.  

• Sluggish Operations Analytics: Inefficiencies in the existing data model caused significant delays in Operations dashboard load times, reducing overall responsiveness.  

• Broken Reporting Pipelines: Frequent failures in NPrinting jobs, caused by an inefficient scheduling approach, created ongoing challenges in reliable report distribution.  

‍

We engineered a strategic migration and data model enhancement plan to transition the enterprise to a high-performance Qlik Sense On-Premise architecture.  
‍

Key capabilities include:

• Large-Scale Data Asset Migration: Migrated 400 QVDs from QlikView to Qlik Sense consisting of 35 extractors and 8 transformers, paired directly with extensive data model enhancements.  

• Dashboard Bifurcation Strategy: Implemented a strategic approach to bifurcate the monolithic Operations dashboard into 3 specialized applications: Logistics, Finance, and Operations.  

• Precision Data Model Pruning: Driven by the dashboard bifurcation, irrelevant tables were eliminated from the data model, directly leading to a massive reduction in load times.  

• UI/UX Enhancements & NPrinting Optimization: Successfully migrated the HR, MD, and Purchase dashboards along with 10 NPrinting reports, applying a 10% facelift for an improved user experience.  

‍

The Qlik Sense On-Premise migration radically improved operational efficiency and the executive user experience:  
‍

• 83% Faster Dashboard Loads: Achieved an 83% reduction in dashboard load time, greatly enhancing the daily user experience.  

• 67% Faster Development Cycles: Secured a 67% reduction in time for new development by utilizing the Insight Advisor & Chart recommendation features in Qlik Sense.  

• 12% Quicker Report Delivery: Realized a 12% reduction in report distribution time to end users through optimized NPrinting scheduling.  

• Streamlined Operations: The organization significantly improved efficiency by reducing latency, accelerating new development, and ensuring reliable report distribution.
