Skybridge
A commercial Office and web analytics suite that connects Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and browser-based reporting workflows to through shared licensing and reusable integration packages.
What it is
Skybridge is a suite of Office add-ins, web reporting tools, and administration surfaces for bringing Cloud analytics into everyday business workflows. It covers Excel, PowerPoint, Word, browser reports, licensing, telemetry, and tenant-level configuration.
The goal is to make Qlik content reusable where reporting actually happens, instead of treating Office exports as disconnected static artifacts.
Architecture
The suite is organized around shared packages for Qlik integration, , Office bridging, licensing, and host-specific applications. That keeps common concerns such as authentication, object discovery, selections, storage, and entitlement checks out of individual add-ins.
Around the add-ins sit the parts a customer never sees: provider operations, content-library management, tenant setup, and documentation that has to hold across every host.
Design choices
Licensing and feature access are part of the architecture. Feature flags and entitlement checks live in the same platform as the add-ins, because a suite spanning Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and the browser cannot decide entitlement separately in each host and stay consistent.
Automated testing carries a lot of weight here. Office hosts, browsers, and Qlik tenants each introduce their own integration risk, and PowerPoint is the worst of them, so that is where the regression coverage is concentrated.
Current state
Active. The current work is hardening for production across the Office hosts, the licensing admin, and the Qlik integration paths.
