Qlik Consulting

Qlik people who will also tell you when to stop using Qlik.

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.

01 — Make Qlik work

Keep it, and make it earn its keep.

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.

Performance and reload

Scripts that finish, models that respond. Incremental loads instead of nightly full reloads.

Model repair

Data models rebuilt so a new question does not need a new developer.

Dashboards people use

Rebuilt around the decision being made, not the data that happened to be available.

QlikView to Qlik Sense

The migration most shops have been deferring, done without losing the business logic buried in the old application.

02 — Move off Qlik

Or own it outright, and stop paying per user forever.

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.

What it costs to stay

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.

Rebuilt as software you own

Delivered with AI-assisted development, the same way Affari builds everything else. One-time build, no per-seat renewal.

The logic comes with it

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.

03 — Who does the work

Two people, and one of them has been your side of this.

Michael Fabrico, Practice Director at Affari Associates.
Practice Director

Michael Fabrico

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.

Jennifer Noyce, Qlik Engineer at Affari Associates.

Jennifer Noyce

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.

04 — Rates

$125 an hour. $150 for the plumbing.

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.

Send us a dashboard and a licence renewal date.

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.
