2023 was remarkable! Join us as we bid farewell to the year by reflecting on its best moments for AnyChart in the Qlik ecosystem. At the heart of it all was our 20th anniversary — indeed, we've been innovating since 2003. And last year, new recognition came our way as we were awarded the best in data analytics and visualization.
Throughout 2023, we consistently raised the bar by launching new extensions and elevating our established solutions. Noteworthy moments included making waves at QlikWorld in Vegas with our Decomposition Tree and unveiling the AI-driven YODA — Your Own Documents Assistant during QlikWorld Tour.
Let's take a look back at the pivotal highlights that shaped our 2023!
New Qlik Sense Extensions
At the dawn of the year, we expanded the Qlik Sense ecosystem with three brand new extensions, designed to improve your visual data analytics in Qlik:
Decomposition Tree
Reimagine data exploration with this game-changer tool that never existed in Qlik Sense before, allowing dynamic breakdowns across multiple dimensions for seamless ad-hoc exploration and root cause analysis.

Circular Gauge

New Recognition
Winning the DEVIES 2023 Award for Best in Data Analytics & Visualization, marked another pivotal moment for AnyChart, reaffirming our dedication to technological excellence.

The ceremony, held in California, represented one more exciting milestone in our 20th-anniversary year.
