Story
Alcoa is based in the United States and runs materials operations at a scale where secure data sharing cannot live in side channels. Data platform and lines of business were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed partner data exchange and hid who owned the next step.
The company runs partner data exchange on Qlik, with Qlik Cloud as the product data platform and lines of business actually open. Qlik provides analytics and data integration software, including Qlik Sense and Talend, for interactive analysis and pipelines. For Alcoa, that means data platform and lines of business can open one workflow, see secure data sharing, and let neighboring teams join without inventing a parallel stack.
Public materials confirm the companies and products. They do not always publish a single verified KPI for this pairing, so the outcome here is operational: clearer ownership, fewer stalled handoffs, and a shared record for secure data sharing.
