Qlik announced the launch of its new cloud region in Singapore, strengthening the company’s commitment to support its growing customer demand for innovation in Asia Pacific (APAC).
Following Qlik's continued investment in Singapore since 2011, the new cloud region marks the company's second cloud region in APAC and the fourth globally. Qlik also has cloud regions in Australia, Ireland, and the US.
Qlik says the new cloud region will enable organisations, large and small, across multiple industries to store and deploy data for analytics locally at scale, delivering optimal operational performance and data compliance with cost savings of the cloud. This will allow customers to be able to drive more value from their data, shifting their data approach to Active Intelligence, a modern BI approach that provides actionable insights from continuously up-to-date information.
Geoff Thomas, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific & Japan, Qlik, said: “Digital transformation is an imperative for businesses wanting to thrive in today’s era of constant change, with the move to the cloud being a crucial enabler.”
“The strategic placement of a new Qlik cloud region in Singapore will help us better meet customer needs for Qlik Cloud® while complying with stringent local data residency requirements. The new cloud region will also support the country’s Smart Nation plans to boost digital adoption in local businesses to further build resiliency, innovation, and competitiveness.”
Qlik customers like Essilor, a leader in ophthalmic optics and visual health, have welcomed the new cloud region in Singapore. Essilor said that analytics applications hosting in Qlik's cloud region increased performance and robustness, driving smarter, data-informed decisions that meet customers' needs.
