How Skybridge Infotech Delivers Enterprise-Grade Qlik to Power BI Migrations
For many enterprises, Qlik has played a key role in their analytics journey. Over time, however, evolving business needs, growing data volumes, and deeper investments in the Microsoft ecosystem are prompting organizations to rethink their BI platforms. Power BI has emerged as a natural next step—but migrating from Qlik to Power BI is not as simple as rebuilding dashboards. Done incorrectly, migrations lead to broken logic, performance issues, and frustrated users. At Skybridge Infotech, we approach Qlik to Power BI migration as a strategic analytics transformation, not a tool replacement exercise.
Why Enterprises Are Moving from Qlik to Power BI
Organizations typically consider migration when they encounter challenges such as:
- Rising Qlik licensing and infrastructure costs
- Limited alignment with Microsoft Azure, Fabric, and Microsoft 365
- Difficulty scaling self-service analytics
- Complex governance and security requirements
- Performance issues with increasing data volumes
Power BI offers stronger integration with the Microsoft ecosystem, improved scalability, and a lower total cost of ownership—but only when migration is executed with enterprise discipline.
What Makes an Enterprise-Grade Migration Different
Many migrations fail because they focus on one-to-one dashboard conversion.
An enterprise-grade migration, by contrast:
- Preserves and improves business logic
- Optimizes data models for performance and scale
- Strengthens governance and security
- Improves user adoption and long-term maintainability
This is the standard Skybridge Infotech applies to every migration engagement.
Skybridge Infotech’s Enterprise Qlik to Power BI Migration Approach
1. Comprehensive Discovery and Assessment
We begin by understanding how Qlik is actually used across the organization.
Our assessment includes:
- Inventory of Qlik apps, dashboards, and scripts
- Usage analysis to identify business-critical reports
- Review of data sources, transformations, and dependencies
- Identification of redundant and low-value BI assets
This ensures migration efforts are focused on what truly matters to the business.
2. Semantic Model and Logic Redesign
Instead of replicating Qlik logic, Skybridge redesigns data models for Power BI best practices.
We:
- Convert Qlik data models into optimized star schemas
- Translate Qlik expressions into efficient DAX measures
- Improve query performance and scalability
- Align datasets with enterprise governance standards
The result is faster, cleaner, and more reliable Power BI reports.
3. Data Integration and Analytics Modernization
Qlik scripts often contain complex transformation logic that becomes difficult to maintain.
Skybridge modernizes analytics by:
- Externalizing transformations to Azure SQL, Synapse, or Fabric
- Reducing BI-layer complexity
- Improving refresh performance and reliability
- Supporting future AI and advanced analytics initiatives
This creates a future-ready analytics foundation.
4. Power BI Dashboard Development and UX Optimization
We focus on how users consume insights—not just how dashboards look.
Our Power BI reports:
- Follow Microsoft design and accessibility standards
- Standardize KPIs and metrics across business units
- Enable governed self-service analytics
- Improve storytelling and decision-making
Higher usability leads directly to higher adoption.
5. Security, Governance, and Performance Tuning
Enterprise analytics requires strong controls.
Skybridge implements:
- Role-Level Security (RLS) aligned with business structures
- Workspace and dataset governance models
- Performance tuning using DAX optimization and incremental refresh
- Monitoring and usage analytics
This ensures scalability without compromising security.
6. User Enablement and Change Management
Migration success depends on people, not just technology.
We support:
- Business user and analyst training
- Power BI best practices documentation
- Smooth transition for Qlik users
- Post-migration optimization based on real usage
This minimizes resistance and accelerates value realization.
