In the AI era – the need for enterprise-wide data—from every operational system—available for instant analytics is real. Microsoft Fabric has fundamentally simplified the modern data estate, centering everything around the flexible, unified power of OneLake. A cornerstone of this platform is Mirroring, a low-latency, low-cost solution designed to break down silos. But for data engineering pioneers, the most exciting development is Open Mirroring.

In a previous blog post, we introduced one of the most significant advancements in Qlik Predict to date — multivariate time series (MVTS) forecasting, bringing enterprise-scale accuracy and context to complex prediction problems. But MVTS is only part of the story. Over the past few months, we’ve continued to enhance Qlik Predict with several powerful updates designed to make predictive AI more trustworthy, fair, and connected for our customers.

The IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Data Integration Software Platform 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc, October 2025) notes, “Qlik delivers a comprehensive, cloud-agnostic data integration platform that spans real-time ingestion and replication, batch ETL/ELT, data quality, data productization, and governed self-service access for analytics and AI.” In the past, data integration was largely about moving information from A to B: ingestion, transformation, loading.

During London Tech Week, our CEO, Mike Capone, joined CNBC to talk about the UK’s position in the global AI landscape, and why this is a moment the country should not waste. His message was simple. The UK already has many of the ingredients for leadership in AI. The question now is how fast it can move from innovation to scale.

The enterprise AI landscape is transforming rapidly. On November 4th, Snowflake Intelligence—a breakthrough agentic AI platform built on the Cortex AI suite—ushers in a new era of business insights. With support for natural language querying (NLQ) and generation (NLG), organizations can interact with their data conversationally, unearthing real-time intelligence directly from complex, multimodal sources.

Accurate forecasting is one of the hardest problems for analytics teams. Demand shifts, supply chain constraints, and external factors like weather or pricing often interact in ways that simple models cannot capture. With the release of multivariate time series forecasting in Qlik Predict, business analysts can now model how multiple variables evolve together over time, directly inside Qlik Cloud, without writing code.

Apache Iceberg has rapidly become the leading open table format for modern data lakehouses, enabling organizations to combine the cost-effectiveness of data lakes with the reliability and performance of data warehouses. However, successfully implementing and managing Iceberg tables at enterprise scale requires understanding both the technical fundamentals and the operational complexities involved. This guide walks through the essentials of working with Iceberg tables, from creation to optimization.

Your teams don’t buy features; they buy outcomes. Speed to insight, trusted AI, lower TCO. That’s the lens for our Qlik Product Recap, a curated view of what’s new across Qlik and why it matters. We loved meeting many of you at Qlik Connect, and you’ll see several features we highlighted there plus everything we’ve shipped since, organized by the outcomes they enable. While Qlik Connect is a great moment to showcase innovation, it’s only one waypoint.

Real-time analytics has become a cornerstone of modern enterprises. Businesses are no longer satisfied with waiting hours or days for insights—they demand answers in seconds. The rise of AI, machine learning, and generative AI has only accelerated this need, putting immense pressure on data platforms to deliver reliable, scalable, and flexible architectures.

In Europe, trust is everything, and the bar is set by law. GDPR, the AI Act, NIS2, DORA, and the Data Act shape how data and AI must operate. Leaders need to show where data lives, who can touch it, and how it moves, and they want cloud speed and flexibility without giving up control, so sovereignty and transparency must be built in from day one.
