PlatformManager: Qlik Application Lifecycle Management and Governance for South African Teams
RIC Consulting implements and supports PlatformManager, a leading Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution for Qlik environments.

As a specialist Qlik partner in South Africa, RIC helps organisations configure PlatformManager to reduce risk, improve collaboration, and ensure reliable, controlled deployments.

Whether your team is remote or distributed, PlatformManager ensures developers work within a controlled, centralised environment improving collaboration while reducing errors and duplication.
Gain complete visibility into your BI environment. Track every change, understand dependencies, and maintain a full audit trail so you always know what changed, when, and why.
