Jourier's Data Hub sits between IBM Db2 and Qlik. IBM Db2 data flows into the layer continuously (real-time CDC where supported, webhooks and polling otherwise), gets modeled to your business, and surfaces in Qlik as a clean dataset your team can build operational reporting, KPI dashboards, and data-quality monitoring on top of.
For teams that want more than a packaged BI experience, the same Data Hub feeds a bespoke data application coded in React and TypeScript, owned by your team. Qlik runs alongside the bespoke application or in front of it, depending on what each part of the business needs.
IBM Db2 is a backend store, not an analytics surface — so the question is shape, not transport. Jourier's modeling layer translates operational schemas into analytical entities (customers, transactions, periods) without disturbing the source application's contract with the database.
On Qlik, IBM Db2 data lives in the in-memory associative engine that powers Qlik's distinct exploration model — every field is connected to every other, and selections propagate automatically. Jourier prepares the IBM Db2 layer for this — clean key fields, well-typed dates, sensible cardinality — so the associative experience reads as intuitive rather than as cluttered.
Result: Qlik reports on IBM Db2 read from a layer engineered for operational reporting, with definitions consistent across reports and across the rest of the operational stack.
Qlik is a per-seat licence model that becomes punishing as your business grows. IBM Db2 reporting locked behind Qlik means every business stakeholder needs a seat, and every change goes through Qlik's pace. Jourier's bespoke data application, coded in React and TypeScript and owned by your team, replaces Qlik for IBM Db2 on your timeline. The same Data Hub feeding Qlik today feeds the new application tomorrow.
Yes. Jourier builds a bespoke IBM Db2 → Qlik integration through the Data Hub layer. IBM Db2 data is modeled, kept current, and exposed to Qlik as a clean dataset your team can build operational reporting on top of. The same modeled tables can feed coded React applications and AI assistants alongside Qlik, so the numbers stay consistent regardless of which surface a stakeholder uses. No connector licence fees if you self-host the data layer.
Where IBM Db2 supports change-data-capture, yes — updates surface in Qlik within seconds. Where it doesn't, scheduled polling and webhooks keep the layer current at the cadence the business actually needs (5 minutes for operational dashboards, hourly for finance, daily for archival). Time to first sync is typically instant to one day. The Data Hub holds the canonical state, so reports and dashboards never read directly from IBM Db2's API.
Bespoke project, scoped to the IBM Db2 workflows that matter and the Qlik reports your team actually uses. Pricing is project-based, not subscription-based — a fixed-fee build for the data layer + the Qlik dataset, then optional managed-services if you want Jourier to run it. No per-seat licences from Jourier, no platform fees if you self-host. Qlik licences are paid directly to Qlik; we never mark them up.
You do. Pipelines, data model, semantic layer config, Qlik dataset definitions, documentation: all yours. Self-host or have us host. Hand it to another vendor whenever you want, or take it over with your own team. Jourier delivers everything as code in a repository you own, with runbooks for how to operate it. No lock-in, no per-engagement licence.
Yes. The Data Hub feeds Qlik today, and the same layer feeds open-source dashboards (Apache Superset, Metabase, Grafana), a bespoke React application, or a different vendor BI tool tomorrow. The IBM Db2 side of the integration — the pipeline, the modeling, the access controls — is unchanged when you switch front-ends. Most of our customers keep multiple consumers running in parallel during a transition window.
First sync of IBM Db2 data is typically instant to one day. A scoped engagement covering IBM Db2 plus the Qlik reports that matter usually runs four to eight weeks. Bigger transformations are split into phases, each shipping value before the next begins. Jourier handles the IBM Db2 pipeline, the modeling, the Qlik dataset, and the access controls. Your team validates the reports and trains the analysts.
Usually yes. Most existing Qlik reports become thin wrappers over the new modeled tables — the report logic stays, the data source switches from a direct IBM Db2 connector to the Data Hub. Jourier audits the existing Qlik workspace, identifies what's worth keeping, and rebuilds report-by-report against the new model. Reports that were workarounds for IBM Db2's data shape get simplified or retired.
Permissions live in the Data Hub, not in Qlik. Each Qlik user authenticates against your identity provider; the dataset that Qlik reads is filtered server-side based on the user's role, region, or department. Qlik's own row-level security still works on top of this. Result: a sales rep in Helsinki and one in New York hitting the same Qlik dashboard see different rows automatically, with the rule defined once in the layer.
