Four years hands-on in Qlik, mostly Qlik Sense, and three Qlik deployments as a CIO. He has been the one approving the licence, defending it to a board and renewing it, which is usually where these conversations start.
One of us deployed Qlik at three companies as a CIO and signed the renewals. The other has built in QlikView and Qlik Sense for years. Both US based, at $125 an hour. We are not a Qlik reseller, so when the honest answer is to keep what you have and fix it, that is what you will hear — and when it is to move the work onto something you own outright, we build that too.
Most Qlik problems are not Qlik's fault. A model that grew sideways for six years, reloads that take all night, dashboards nobody opens because nobody trusts the numbers. That is work, not a migration.
Scripts that finish, models that respond. Incremental loads instead of nightly full reloads.
Data models rebuilt so a new question does not need a new developer.
Rebuilt around the decision being made, not the data that happened to be available.
The migration most shops have been deferring, done without losing the business logic buried in the old application.
Qlik licensing is the reason most of these conversations start. If the reporting matters more than the tool, it can be rebuilt as an application you own, with the dashboards inside the system that produces the data rather than bolted alongside it.
An honest read of your licence, user count and renewal against what replacing it would cost. Sometimes staying wins. We will say so, and we have no reason not to.
Delivered with AI-assisted development, the same way Affari builds everything else. One-time build, no per-seat renewal.
Years of business rules live inside those dashboards. Extracting them is most of the work, and it is the part a generic developer gets wrong.

Extensive in both QlikView and Qlik Sense, with deep enterprise BI experience across reporting, dashboard development and the data architecture underneath.
You get these two from the first call to the last. No account manager, no handoff to whoever is free.
Qlik work is $125 an hour. Back-end data warehouse and SQL work is $150. The large Qlik consultancies bill two to three times that for the same work, and bill it through a partner relationship with its own reason to recommend more Qlik. No minimum retainer, no offshore handoff after the sales call.
That is usually enough to tell you whether this is a repair job or a replacement, and we will tell you which before you have spent anything.
