Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last week saw UK Business Intelligence software developers Connexica attend the unique two-day Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence Summit in Amsterdam. This year one of the events platinum sponsors was Systemation who are the official reseller and distributor of CXAIR throughout the Benelux region.

One of the highlights of the event was an informative Case Study presentation by Bernt van Raamsdonk – Smit the Regional Finance Director of GrandVision, who showcased their experiences of rolling out CXAIR throughout their global organisation within the optical retail industry. The presentation included a live demonstration of CXAIR showing how the product has been used to provide financial and performance information to their extensive network of stores.

The event is an international conference with top rated speakers from the field including Mike Ferguson, Claudia Imhoff, Rick Van der Lans and Colin White. The topics of the conference ranged from Business Intelligence as a whole to Social Media Analytics to Big Data.

Following the event Systemation held a CXAIR user group session where a series of informal presentations were made to many of the existing Benelux CXAIR customers including a follow-up presentation by Bernt Van Raamsdonk – Smit of GrandVision and a CXAIR Roadmap presentation by Connexica Managing Director Richard Lewis. The evening was finished off with a meal at the Mercure Hotel and proved to be a great success.
Both days were well-attended and provided key insight into the current trends in Big Data, Hadoop, NoSQL and Real-time operational intelligence.

Managing Director of Connexica Limited says of the event,

“I found the presentations extremely interesting, well researched, and well presented. The event went a long way to confirming my own views of the current trends and direction with regards to Big Data. This includes the challenges users and businesses have in delivering solutions that can cope with the scale of Big Data, and the usability challenge of delivering real insight to the user through simple to use analytical solutions over increasingly large data sets.
In many ways this supports the direction we have taken with CXAIR and provides a clear roadmap as to where to take the product in the immediate future.”

Of Systemation, Richard Lewis says,

“Sponsoring this event is another example of the commitment Systemation have in promoting CXAIR to the Benelux region. Their continued professionalism, enthusiasm and drive to push CXAIR forward is great to see and is reflected in the growth of their user and partner base. ”

Sales Manager of Systemation Kees Gelderblom says of the event,

“Both the conversations we had with those attending the Adept event as well as the comments from users at the Dutch CXAIR user conference confirm to us what a strong product Connexica has developed. The power of search with the insight of business intelligence proves its value for our Dutch customers over and over.”
