Migrating from QlikView or Qlik Sense to Power BI requires more than a lift-and-shift approach. It involves translating complex associative logic, custom expressions, and data models into a modern, scalable platform—while preserving business logic and ensuring minimal disruption. Our Full Migration Engagement provides a structured, end-to-end solution to rebuild your Qlik environment in Power BI with maximum accuracy and impact.

Is Qlik difficult to scale or integrate with your Microsoft ecosystem?
Are legacy Qlik dashboards limiting business agility?
Do licensing or governance issues cause team friction?
Worried about migrating complex logic and extensions?

MAQ Software’s Full Migration Engagement ensures a confident transition. We customize your migration with automation, proven methods, and post-migration support.

Costs and timelines will vary based on the number and complexity of reports.
