Customer Voices & Future Vision: Catalyst BI at the Qlik AI Reality Tour

Qlik AI Reality Tour 2025: Shaping the Future of Data with Qlik Cloud 

The Qlik AI Reality Tour 2025 brought together data leaders, analysts, and innovators from across the UK and Catalyst BI was proud to once again sponsor this flagship event. 

For our customers, it was more than just another industry conference. It was an opportunity to experience how Qlik is redefining the analytics and AI landscape, helping organisations unlock the full value of their data with Qlik Cloud. 

Customer Spotlight: DAC Beachcroft’s Experience 

One of our long-standing customers, DAC Beachcroft, attended the event, with Senior Data Analyst Daniel Turner sharing his thoughts: 

“Having previously attended the Qlik Data Revolution tour back in 2019, I was very interested to see how much Qlik have developed their products since then, and I can sincerely say that I was very impressed with some of the innovations they will soon be delivering with Qlik Cloud. 

Getting to see a lineup of new features firsthand and how other organisations are able to deploy them – from the development of their automated machine learning product into Qlik Predict, to the data quality tools brought in with Talend, and the incorporation of agentic AI with Qlik Answers – has only led me to come back to my colleagues to emphasise that we should be upgrading to Qlik Cloud as quickly as we can. 

The added plus of their free migration tools will only help in bringing our existing QlikView, Qlik Sense and NPrinting estate as soon as we have our infrastructure ready to move to Qlik Cloud and start leveraging our data across the business for more than just dashboards. 

The event was a great success and the most important Qlik event to attend in the UK each year.” 

Why Qlik Cloud is Accelerating 

Daniel’s reflections capture what so many organisations are realising: Qlik Cloud is more than a platform upgrade, it’s a gateway to advanced analytics, AI-driven insights, and enterprise-wide data transformation. 

From Qlik Predict to Talend-powered data quality, and the groundbreaking Qlik Answers agentic AI, the tour highlighted just how far Qlik has evolved to empower businesses with scalable, secure, and intelligent solutions. 

Catalyst BI’s Perspective
