Qlik Managed Services

Qlik Managed Services; Qlik Sense and QlikView Managed Services

Qlik is being adopted as both a strategic and a business-critical application. Companies need to sustain the ability to be flexible and maintain the availability of their Qlik estate, whilst keeping the associated costs of IT support services to a minimum.

Flexible, onshore, customised service plans, offered by the hour, to manage and enhance your Qlik data analytics and Qlik data integration platform.

Differentia Consulting offers a “one-stop-shop” for everything Qlik. Our range of services can help you create and deliver against your BI vision, including your: data pipeline, data integration, reporting, and agile analytics objectives. Whilst maintaining the daily operational requirements and supporting the integrity of the solution.

Available by the hour, we work in partnership with your IT, data, and analytics teams to provide cost-effective services as required. We do this by providing you with a flexible Qlik Managed Service plan with three product offerings. These three offerings are based on how much you require us to manage; so we can meet your needs and investment criteria. Across all service plans, you will receive the same level of excellence from our Qlik experts. The only difference between plans is how much of your Qlik estate you want us to manage and deliver, and the amount of flexibility you require during the engagement term.

Service plans

Gold: Full application management, development & support, technical and cloud hosting services (optional).
Silver: Planned activity. For clients that need, for example, more of our development services but want to retain some management of their Qlik estate.
Bronze: On-demand access to all of our Qlik services.
