Automated Qlik to Power BI/Fabric Migration: Conversion

Vortex is an end-to-end, AI-powered solution for Qlik to Power BI/Fabric migration, blending intelligent automation & AI with deep expertise to transform migration risk into modernization strategy. This engagement delivers Phase 2: Conversion—where Vortex automates both front-end report migration and back-end data architecture modernization to accelerate your transformation and reduce manual lift. (see image below)

Vortex is the only solution that automates both the report layer and the data layer of BI migration. On the front end, Qlik dashboards and visual logic are transformed into structured Power BI templates—preserving layout and accelerating report readiness. On the back end, complex Qlik load scripts are converted into modular SQL layers aligned with Microsoft Fabric’s architecture. This eliminates weeks or months of manual rebuilding while reducing risk, accelerating validation, and delivering future-ready analytics foundations.

Convert all your Qlik reports and data with automation—typically in 2 weeks Our AI-driven automation reduces manual work by 70%, converting all of your Qlik apps in the time it would take a developer to manually convert one app of medium complexity.

We can often secure Microsoft-backed funding to help reduce the cost of this engagement, subject to approval.
