Qlik Data Products for Analytics is how you turn raw data into something people can actually trust and reuse. It’s built right into Qlik Cloud Analytics and is designed for analytics teams, data producers, and even AI initiatives. Instead of everyone rebuilding datasets over and over, teams can publish curated, governed, analytics-ready data products that include business context, quality checks, and our patented Qlik Trust Score. People discover them in a marketplace, plug them straight into dashboards, apps, or AI workflows, and move fast with confidence. The big value? Less duplication, lower cost, faster app development, and insights you can actually trust.

95% of AI pilots are failing. Here's why the other 5% are winning. While most organizations scramble to retrofit compliance into their AI implementations, leading finance teams are building it in from the start—and gaining a major competitive edge. Three insights that caught my attention: → Vendor solutions succeed at 2x the rate of internal builds (67% vs 33%)—your team's expertise matters more than you think.

Calling Katalon a hybrid testing platform means it brings manual, automated, and AI-generated testing together in one unified system. Katalon is built to help teams design, run, manage, and report on all three types of tests side by side, giving clear visibility into coverage, quality, and release readiness without forcing teams to choose just one testing approach — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon.

In this episode, *Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana* and *Asanka Abeysinghe* demystify what “agents” really are and why architects should care. They walk through core concepts and terminology—agents, agent loops, prompts, context, memory, RAG, tools, MCP, and skills—and discuss how agents observe, act, and evaluate. The conversation compares agents to traditional systems, explores where agents fit in modern architectures (including solo agents, agent-to-agent patterns, and multi-agent setups), and looks at orchestration challenges.

Teams that get the most out of TrueTest are those handling frequent releases, supporting multiple applications, and testing complex, end-to-end workflows. It is especially valuable for larger testing teams that need to automate at scale, collaborate across members, and avoid maintenance overhead while keeping up with continuous in-sprint testing and regression needs — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon.
