QlikTech Japan announced a new business strategy on 18 September, and Executive Officer and President Konno Yoshihiro (今野 芳弘) stated that the company is not focused only on BI. The company outlined plans to expand its analytics SaaS and data integration businesses and double its business scale in the Japanese market over the next 5 years.
The company presented “agentic intelligence” as its new vision, aiming to turn data into a driving force for AI through AI, data integration and data analytics, thereby accelerating strategic outcomes for customer companies. A survey of 232 decision-makers at Fortune 500 and Fortune 2000 companies found that although enthusiasm for AI strategies was high, implementation was lagging. The company positioned closing this gap as a growth opportunity.
Revenue from analytics SaaS and data integration has grown 3.5-fold and more than 3-fold, respectively, over the past 3 years. Its initiatives for FY2027 will be built around 3 pillars: (1) strengthening AI agent enablement, (2) growing and expanding analytics SaaS, and (3) strengthening data integration. These efforts will support the acquisition of new customers, migration of existing customers and the pursuit of large-scale data migration projects.
Specifically, the company will embed AI capabilities across all products and evolve them into an AI agent-enabled platform, while making its data foundation trusted by AI agents. It will promote the use of on-premises products for large-scale data migration projects in the financial and public sectors, and strengthen integration with ERP systems, Snowflake and Databricks. It also plans to expand its partner ecosystem and pursue partnerships with major cloud companies.
