FAQs.
Online tutorials can be useful, but most are incomplete, outdated, or skip the parts that actually cause problems in production. Official documentation is meant as a reference, not a learning tool. It describes every option, but rarely explains the context behind those options or how to apply them in a real setup.

About Instructor.
My name is Mikhail P. Bespartochnyy, and I bring over 10 years of specialized experience in Qlik Sense infrastructure, business intelligence, and analytics. My expertise includes deploying and administrating QlikView and Qlik Sense servers, as well as developing BI solutions for hyper-sensitive data, and implementing precise and reliable record-level and field-level security.
Throughout my 6+ year career at Accenture - one of the largest global consulting firms - and 4+ years at Susquehanna International Group - one of the world's largest proprietary trading firms - I supported global teams and clients as well as built and maintained resilient Qlik infrastructures. Working in environments where even minimal downtime could cause significant business disruptions taught me the critical importance of flawless server deployments, secure and seamless upgrades, robust backup automation, and rapid disaster recovery.
I've successfully executed dozens of Qlik Sense and PostgreSQL server upgrades, migrated Qlik Sense servers to new hardware both on dedicated and virtual Windows Servers, designed automated backup strategies that safeguard data daily with minimal server downtime, built dynamic and scalable Qlik Sense security rules, and have done so much more (too much to list here).
Today, as the founder and lead consultant at howdash, I'm committed to simplifying Qlik Sense administration through practical, clarity-driven training. Drawing upon years of hands-on experience, my courses are intentionally designed to solve the specific real-world challenges that Qlik Sense administrators face daily. These targeted courses are built to help you acquire practical, immediately applicable skills.
By leveraging proven techniques distilled from my decade of experience, you'll gain essential skills to minimize downtime, reduce daily administration risks, and confidently manage critical Qlik Sense infrastructure, positioning you as a trusted expert within your organization.
The Qlik Sense Server Pro Bundle brings every step into one clear and detailed process from setup to administration.
You'll get access to four visual, step-by-step courses:
Windows Server for Qlik Sense Admins - learn how to build a full Windows Server lab environment in Hyper-V to safely test, upgrade, and experiment with Qlik Sense without risk to production. You'll set up DNS, Active Directory, and certificate services to create the home for your Qlik Sense server.
Deploy and Configure Qlik Sense - install and configure Qlik Sense on your Windows Server from start to finish. You'll set up PostgreSQL, apply SSL certificates, allocate licenses, configure virtual proxies, effectively turning a clean installation into a ready-for-use server.
Qlik Sense Security - design scalable, custom access controls for apps, data connections, reload tasks, and more so your Qlik Sense environment stays organized and easy to manage as it grows.
Backup, Upgrade, and Recover Qlik Sense - master backup, upgrade, and recovery of your Qlik Sense server to minimize downtime, prevent data loss, and confidently maintain a secure, resilient BI environment.
All courses are designed to be a powerhouse of knowledge and insights. They're designed to work one with another and give you a complete package of exceptional content that you can use immediately to learn and build corporate Business Intelligence infrastructure.
