An event like this really gives you a view on creative ways you can use the same technical solution to achieve different goals.
Maria Claudia Bragheri, Nestlé
Last year, when we first saw Query Manager being presented by the BBC team, we said: this is exactly what we need. This is what the event is about, is to inspire, and we got the inspiration from other clients that were using the products.
Vitor Notaro, BBC
We listened to the experiences of another company who has already done what we intend to do now, which was valuable for us, as we don't want to reinvent the wheel. That's why it's really worthwhile to hear about those experiences.
IT Director
Without this type of event, I don't think I would have been able to have the confidence to go ahead with my migration. I started asking questions, taking notes, brainstorming, and thinking of what method to apply.
Vincent Bismack, Menzies
