    Official migration program offering partner support, training, resources, and flexible licensing options for a smooth transition.

Qlik Analytics Migration Tool (QAMT) – An In-Depth Look

The QAMT is the centerpiece of any Qlik migration. It helps organizations efficiently transfer existing content to the cloud in a structured way:

  • Export & analysis of content and metadata from QlikView, Qlik Sense Client-Managed, or NPrinting
  • Automated conversion of QlikView apps (.QVW), Qlik Sense apps (.QVF), or NPrinting templates into Qlik Cloud assets
  • Repeatable workflows with migration plans, projects, and jobs
  • Incremental migrations by user group, department, or application
  • Testing, validation, and rollback features for maximum security

Thanks to its clear structure and automation, QAMT makes the migration process efficient, transparent, and highly scalable.

iVIEW Data Automation Framework – Strategically Securing Your Migration

While QAMT paves the technical migration path, the iVIEW Data Automation Framework ensures the strategic and content-driven success of your transformation.

Learn more about iVIEW

  • iVIEW Library

    • KPI and variable management: Automates the migration of QlikView and Qlik Sense expressions into centralized master items for Qlik Cloud.
    • Governance & reusability: All KPIs, calculations, and definitions are stored centrally – consistent, documented, version-controlled, and fully auditable.

     

  • iVIEW Dataflow

    • Low-code ETL automation: Creates, controls, and documents data-driven processes with minimal manual effort.
    • Transferable & transparent business logic: Existing data flows are migrated to Qlik Cloud and modernized, with version control to ensure full auditability.

Especially in complex enterprise environments with QlikView + NPrinting or Client-Managed Sense, iVIEW is the key to sustainable consolidation and governance.

Key Takeaway

  • QAMT delivers structure, security, and automation to your migration process – making it ideal for seamless technical execution and strong governance.

     

  • The iVIEW Framework (Library & Dataflow) complements the toolset with essential strategic layers: KPI governance, ETL automation, low-code approaches, and reusability.

     

  • Together, they create a powerful synergy: QAMT enables a seamless move to the cloud, while iVIEW consolidates and optimizes your content, standards, and processes.

iVIEW Dataflow - The Optimized Path to Qlik Cloud

In the context of migration with the Qlik Application Automation Migration Tool (QAMT), data access also plays a key role. Alongside the Qlik Direct Access Gateway, which loads data into Qlik Cloud via the pull principle, iVIEW Dataflow offers significant advantages with its push approach and can also be implemented as a full replacement for the Qlik Data Transfer Client, which will reach end-of-life in 2026.

iVIEW as replacement for the Qlik Data Transfer

Data is filtered, anonymized, optimized, and compressed in advance – before it reaches the cloud. This reduces data volumes and cloud capacity costs while improving performance, data protection and ROI. Existing Qlik load chains from Qlik Sense Client-Managed can be directly adopted and prepared for migration.
