Qlik Open Lakehouse General Availability
Differentia Consulting Expands Services To Include Open Lakehouse
Qlik partner draws on 17 years of experience to support Apache Iceberg-based data implementations
Stokenchurch, England – 16 September 2025 – Differentia Consulting, an AI-enabled business intelligence specialist and Qlik partner since 2008, today announced expanded service offerings to support enterprises implementing Qlik’s newly available Open Lakehouse solution. With the general availability of Qlik Open Lakehouse providing real-time, AI-ready data on Apache Iceberg, Differentia Consulting is well-positioned to guide organisations through migration, implementation and optimisation of this technology.
Drawing on its work with Qlik solutions across ERP environments including SAP and JD Edwards since 2008, Differentia Consulting brings experience in data integration, analytics, and AI implementation to help organisations address data challenges that can limit AI initiatives.
“Qlik’s Open Lakehouse addresses issues we regularly discuss with clients – the need for trusted, current, and accessible data for AI success,” said Nakul Mehta, Architect at Differentia Consulting. “Many of our clients have been managing fragmented data, vendor lock-in, and the costs of maintaining multiple data copies. Qlik’s Apache Iceberg-based solution, combined with our implementation experience, provides organisations with greater flexibility in tool choice whilst maintaining performance and governance.”
Differentia’s Open Lakehouse Implementation Services
Differentia Consulting has developed an approach to Qlik Open Lakehouse implementation that addresses enterprise requirements:
Strategic ‘Assess & Plan and Design‘: Drawing on 23 years of ERP and data consulting experience to evaluate existing data architectures and design migration strategies to open table formats.
Multi-Engine Integration: Guidance on implementing multi-engine workload access across Analytics ML and AI tools whilst maintaining governance and security.
AI-Ready Data Foundations: Services to ensure data quality, lineage, and cataloguing meet requirements for AI and machine learning initiatives.
Cost Optimisation: Methodologies to work towards the infrastructure cost reductions, Lean IT, and query performance improvements demonstrated in Qlik’s preview programme.
Addressing Common Data Challenges
The announcement comes as enterprises recognise that their AI initiatives can be constrained by data architecture limitations. Traditional approaches often result in data silos, lengthy time-to-insight, and vendor lock-in that restricts analytical tool choices, and drives up cost.
“We regularly see how data fragmentation can impede AI initiatives,” continued Mehta. “Organisations invest in AI tools and talent, but find their data isn’t sufficiently accessible, current, or trustworthy to deliver expected value, at a cost point that delivers ROI. Qlik Open Lakehouse provides a different approach to this challenge.”
Service Portfolio
In response to market demand and the new capabilities available through Qlik Open Lakehouse, Differentia Consulting is expanding its service offerings to include:
- Open Lakehouse Migration Services: Support for transitioning from proprietary data warehouses to Apache Iceberg-based architectures
- Multi-Cloud Data Strategy: Guidance on implementing bring-your-own-compute models across AWS, Azure, and other cloud platforms
- AI Implementation Support: Packages combining Qlik Open Lakehouse for business orchestration, automation and ML model development
- Real-Time Analytics Solutions: Implementation of CDC-based pipelines with automatic Iceberg optimisation for operational intelligence, into query tools feeding Qlik Analytics.
