Qlik’s Singapore cloud region will enable organisations, large and small, across multiple industries to store and deploy data for analytics locally at scale, reaping optimal operational performance and data compliance with cost savings of the cloud. Storing data in the regional cloud will also provide customers with the ability to serve end-users’ analytics needs across the region more effectively with even faster access and lower latency. Customers, including those based in Singapore such as the Singapore Management University, will now be able to drive even more value from their data, shifting their data approach to Active Intelligence, a modern BI approach which provides businesses with actionable insights from continuously up-to-date, real-time information to achieve transformational business outcomes.
