SaaS Readiness Services

In preparing for your transition to Qlik Cloud, it’s crucial to assess your apps to determine their compatibility with Qlik Cloud deployment. Qlik Cloud offers various capacity tiers tailored to diverse needs. While most apps align with our standard capacity tier, Qlik also offers expanded and dedicated capacity options for larger applications and specialized use cases. 

Key factors to consider when reviewing your apps:

  • App size
  • Reload duration and concurrency
  • Data sources
  • Third-party components – Extensions, GeoAnalytics, Qlik NPrinting, and other integrated solutions
  • Anonymous or OEM use-cases (contact us)
  • Mashups

We offer support in the evaluation process by utilizing our readiness apps to analyze client-managed environments. The SaaS Readiness app, designed for Qlik Sense, is executed on a Qlik Sense Client-Managed site by Qlik, specifically for clients contemplating Qlik Cloud adoption. These apps assess the profile of apps within the environment, categorizing them into suitable Qlik Cloud tiers. They provide insights into session usage, data connection metadata, and tasks and task cadences. These attributes play a vital role in prioritizing and assessing the complexity of your asset migration.
