Qlik’s Leadership in Data Integration, Recognized by Gartner

Qlik has once again been recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Data Integration Tools, marking the tenth consecutive time the company has achieved this position. This long-term recognition reflects Qlik’s consistent focus on open, trusted, and scalable data integration foundations that support modern analytics, lakehouse architectures, and artificial intelligence initiatives.

At CRMT, we work closely with organisations facing increasing data complexity, fragmented systems, and growing demands from analytics and AI. As a certified Qlik partner, we offer Qlik Talend Cloud as a core data integration platform to help companies build reliable, future-ready data foundations.

Open and hybrid data integration for modern architectures

Data architectures are evolving rapidly. Organisations are moving toward hybrid and multi-cloud environments, open lakehouse models, and AI-driven use cases. Qlik Talend Cloud is explicitly designed for this reality.

The platform combines data integration, data quality, and governance in a single environment, enabling organisations to move beyond siloed pipelines toward governed, reusable data products. This approach is essential for companies that want to scale analytics and AI while maintaining control over data quality, lineage, and costs.

From our experience at CRMT, this open and hybrid architecture is one of the key reasons Qlik continues to be recognised by Gartner year after year.

From fragmented pipelines to trusted data products

Qlik Talend data integration capabilities address several critical challenges we encounter in real-world projects:

Real-time and bulk data movement
Log-based change data capture and high-performance bulk loading support both real-time and batch use cases. This is particularly important for cloud migrations, hybrid environments, and analytics platforms that depend on timely and reliable data.

Rich transformation and broad connectivity
Qlik Talend Cloud provides mature transformation capabilities and a broad library of connectors, enabling organisations to integrate data from ERP systems, cloud applications, databases, and streaming sources into consistent, analytics-ready datasets.

Governed data products for lakehouse and AI
The platform supports open lakehouse architectures using open table formats such as Apache Iceberg. This allows organisations to define, govern, and publish reusable data products for analytics, applications, and AI, without vendor lock-in.

AI-ready data pipelines
Qlik is investing heavily in AI-driven capabilities, including agent-based approaches to building and managing data pipelines. The objective is to reduce manual effort, improve monitoring and reliability, and accelerate time-to-insight for analytics and AI initiatives.

How CRMT helps organisations succeed with Qlik Talend Cloud

Technology alone does not deliver results. The real challenge lies in aligning data integration with business priorities, existing systems, and long-term architectural decisions.

At CRMT, we support organisations end-to-end:

• Designing modern data architectures based on open and hybrid principles
• Implementing Qlik Talend Cloud for data integration, quality, and governance
• Connecting source systems, analytics platforms, and AI use cases
• Ensuring scalability, reliability, and long-term sustainability of data foundations

Our focus is not on tools in isolation, but on helping organisations build data environments that work in practice and support better, faster decision-making.

A strong signal for the future of data integration

Qlik’s position as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Data Integration Tools is not about a single feature or release. It reflects a clear long-term direction focused on open architectures, trusted data, and platforms that can adapt as analytics and AI continue to evolve.

For organisations looking to modernise their data integration landscape, this recognition reinforces why Qlik Talend Cloud, combined with the right implementation partner, provides a strong foundation for the future.
