On November 18, 2024, we were part of this year's Agenda Europe 2035 conference, which took place under the motto “Challenges and trends of digitalization and ICT for a secure and competitive future in Europe” at the virtual Vienna City Hall. Thomas Petrik, Managing Director & Head of Technology Consulting at Sphinx, shared interesting perspectives in his online presentation “A smart solution is more than the sum of its parts: Efficient and secure digitalization starts with a holistic view” with the online audience.

Keep it simple - according to this simple philosophy, a smart infrastructure can be realized with maximum fulfillment and minimum complexity. How such successful digitalization can be implemented in practice was illustrated using three specific example scenarios from customer projects:

  • DWH / Analytics Stack: As a “best of service” option, the fully integrated solution tech stack RED (Rapid Exploratory Data Analysis) from Sphinx, Exasol and MicroStrategy combines many different BI components in a single solution.
  • Renewal of the ERP system of an SME: The further development of an ERP system towards a macroservices architecture reduces the complexity of processes - specialized systems require less tuning and lead to a massive reduction in code. The migration of the new ERP system is also significantly cheaper.
  • Replacing VMware: In view of the massive increase in VMware license costs, many companies are facing problems. In the course of a changeover, it is advisable not only to replace the hypervisor, but to think holistically. Our BlueBoxx solution offers an open, cost-transparent and highly secure alternative without vendor lock-in in the form of an “open infrastructure”.

We are delighted to have been part of this exciting conference on Europe's digital future - many thanks to the organizers of Agenda Europe 2035!
