GetInData in 2020 - our achievements and challenges in Big Data environment

The end of 2020 has come, and it's time to stop for a moment and look back. The past year was not the easiest one and presented us with many challenges, but we managed to emerge victorious from them. So, we decided to introduce you to our best moments of this year, because we want to share everything we have accomplished. So take some time and make this journey with us, and contend with us for the days gone by. Through the past year, we have managed to:

  • Fulfill our mission of sharing knowledge in the field of Big Data solutions: we organized the another edition of the Big Data Technology Warsaw Summit (check awesome presentations from BDTWS 2020 here
  • create webinars throughout the whole year (below in the text you will find the most interesting of them),
  • encourage our employees to give a talk / speak at international conferences (like Flink Forward or Data Science Summit)
  • filled our blog with valuable content that can be used by both Big Data specialists and those who want to understand how Big Data solutions can help grow their business.
  • we achieved Partner Expertise in Google Cloud Analytics (that’s quite a big deal!)
  • Silicon Canals - European Technology News placed us in the ranking as one of 10 top innovative tech #startups from Warsaw you should know about in 2020!
  • earn new reviews on Clutch, check them out!
  • contribute to Debezium open source project.

Of course, it’s not all! Throughout the year, we shared interesting facts and news from the world of Big Data on our social media channels (this is another reason to follow our activities). It is also hard to count the number of internal training sessions. Taking care of our clients, we organized cyclical meetings and webinars! Thanks to this, the cooperation was perfect at every stage of projects.

Below you will find a list of our publications, webinars and conference talks and we encourage you to relive the most interesting moments of GetInData 2020 with us.

P.S And one more thing - we promise you that we have not rested on our laurels. Soon we will present new projects and ideas that will help in sharing knowledge about Big Data - we believe that data management is the future of not only the business itself but also a large part of our lives. 

GetinData Webinars:

Here you will find the webinars that we conducted in 2020. First, we chose two that you enjoyed the most and we collected the best feedback about it. We encourage you to watch them, and if a topic is of particular interest to you, don't hesitate to write to us!
