On September 14th and 15th, 2020 Paris hosted simultaneously two great events for the European Big Data panorama: the BIG DATA PARIS and the AI Paris Convention.

THE PARTNER

Before COVID-19 emergency, Knowage decided to join this event with a partner that could be the reference point for the French Market: Synaltic.

Synaltic is a genuine Data Specialist, that offers a new perspective on information systems that are more and more “Data Driven”. Relying on strong partnerships and the expertise of its employees, Synaltic assists its customers at every stage of data development by focusing its offer on four major themes: Data Governance, Data Intelligence, Data Exchange and Data Platform.

Knowage and Synaltic are collaborating for more than 10 years fostering the widespread of the open source business intelligence through France. One of the last collaborations is the participation of Knowage Labs to the Online Data Festival powered by Synaltic during the lockdown.

THE EVENT

Knowage and Synaltic became co-exhibitors at Big Data Paris, joining the event with the common aim to promote Knowage capabilities to help companies to deal with Big Data and the related market challenges.

The booth has been thought and dressed to greatly represent both companies and their relationship: Synaltic as reliable and experienced system integrator on the French market, Knowage as the business intelligence solution chosen to help customers to manage Big Data and perform advanced analytics.

Since in September the event was launched as “hybrid” (100% physical and 100% digital), Synaltic was charged of being present at the booth and manage the first contact with participants, while Knowage Labs managed the virtual booth available on the digital platform of the event. Moreover, the partners decided to enrich the visitors’ experience at their booth (both physical and digital) with a full schedule of speeches and demoes.

Speeches and demoes covered different topics related to Big Data management and analysis: source collection, data governance, big data visualization, location intelligence, advanced analytics, presentations of Knowage and Synaltic. Speeches were hosted both in person at the booth and online through a Zoom meeting available for everyone.

>> Here the recordings of these speeches.

THE TAKEAWAYS

Big Data Paris gathered more than 11000 visitors (51% physical and 49% digital) in this first edition as hybrid event. Knowage and Synaltic were able to collect new contacts and empower already existing collaborations through the physical and the virtual booth as well as through the online speeches. New contacts will now benefit of a deeper Knowage presentation and will be supported by the expertise of Synaltic in their adoption of Knowage.

In the end of the experience, joining such an event with a partner like Synaltic, proved to be a great business enhancer and an added-value for event visitors too.

Every day, a huge number of companies appreciate the benefits they derive from Open Source, now in terms of not only budget but also solidity, openness, a developmental dynamic and independent decision-making (…). Today, the paradigm has changed in that these companies now see how they can make use of these technologies and innovations to serve their business, while contributing to a better world. “Open Source: Innovation for good” is the journey we are offering you with this new edition of the Paris Open Source Summit, exploring the best Open Source technologies and innovations and how they can be used. “
