MOVING TO THE CLOUD
BRINGING A VALUE FROM SPACE TO BUSINESS
David Balazic, CONSALTA Director (Slovenia).
Kaupo Voormansik, Researcher STACC - Soſtware Technology and
Application Competence Center (Estonia) .
Technology has become not only the enabler but the
driving force behind business development. Making
decisions of the most beneficial technology model can
be surprisingly difficult. At the session you will be able
to learn how to better exercise cloud decision-making
muscle.
Many sectors of the economy are increasingly reliant on various space
data and services in transport, logistics, telecommunications, energy,
and other applications. This presentation will give you an insight of the
latest researches in aerospace industry, data usage for industries,
businesses and society, ways and opportunities how to benefit from
space downstream data, as well as case studies in Baltics and Europe.
SECURITY
AEROSPACE & DEFENCE
IS CLOUD SECURE OR NOT?
MANAGE YOUR COMPLEX
GROWING AGE OF ASSETS
Jānis Bērziņš, SQUALIO Senior Infrastructure Solution
Consultant. Aigars Jaundālders, DPA Head of Business
Start up Group (Latvia).
Presentation will cover various aspects of cloud security - risks and challenges at Cloud environments, critical
information infrastructures, certification and compliance and analyze different solutions and best practices
for data lifecycle, application and users security.
Mike Stasiewicz,
IBM Maximo Client Technical Professional (USA).
How complex can an aircraſt be? You might say it has a body, wings and
two engines to make it fly. I challenge you to search “how much a 747
weighs at take off” and you will be blown away if you think about what it
takes to liſt that weight. Very similar I compare topic about enterprise
asset maintenance and management in industries that owns powerful
base of assets (aircraſts, railway, transport, logistics, defense ect.).
Based on case studies in various industries my presentation will give an
overview of asset management challenges and capabilities.

BIG DATA
SMART BORDERS
FINDING YOUR BALANCE: BI IN
THE CLOUD, ON PREMISES, OR BOTH
IDENTITY SOLUTIONS FOR AIRPORTS,
PORTS AND LAND BORDERS
Aldis Ērglis, Microsoſt BI Consultant (Latvia).
Pedro Alves, Vision-box Business Development Manager (Portugal).
Heard about Power BI or Microsoſt Azure? These
services can take many forms, such as cloud VMs,
database as a service, Power BI in the cloud, and a
myriad of other services. In this session, you will learn
about building Business Intelligence solutions using
Microsoſt Azure, Power BI and the Microsoſt BI stack
(on premises, in the cloud, or both). This session gives
you the foundation you need to understand when
incorporating cloud components into your BI solution
makes sense and how to get started.
The session will be based on case studies discovering the most
advanced technologies that provides a smart security and management systems for airports, ports and borders. It is a clear improvement of the experience felt not only by the passengers, but also by the
Border Control authorities. Border Control officers are now taking
advantage of highly dependable technology and transferring their
focus to security procedures with greater added-value.

THINGS PEOPLE THOUGHT
ARE NOT POSSIBLE
INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC
TECHNOLOGIES FOR SMART CITIES
Aldis Viļums, Microsoſt Technology Evangelist (Latvia).
Piotr Bardadyn, Neurosoſt Head of Sales (Poland).
Presentation where speaker goes through the set of examples
and shows how things that were not possible even couple
years ago are now easily doable. Business focus for this to
highlight the business transformation that it's enabled by this.
Through these examples also would highlight different
industries including PS, would showcase relevant technologies.
Over 20 years of neural networks development affects human
daily environment. Since more than 5 is commonly used in traffic
telematics providing better information about current situation
on roads supporting real time events analysis and management.
Intelligent Transportation Systems rely on road data acquisition.
Precise vehicle detection, its real time identification is crucial for
road engineers to keep the traffic fluent. State of the art road side
infrastructure is remotely accessible and configurable. This
presentation will show a few live examples of Artificial
Intelligence in practice, used for public safety, enforcement
solutions and providing transportation efficiency.

DAILY WORK - A ROCKET!
MOBILE IDENTITY AND BIOMETRICS
Robertas Tamosaitis,
Microsoſt Cloud Evangelists (Lithuania).
17.15 – 17.55
In five real scenarios you will be able to explore the latest
soſtware capabilities for daily work - efficient use of e-mail and
calendar, productive work with documents and reports,
collaboration with your team, creation of internal and external
websites, impressive presentations, remote HD and video
conferences and other most recent trends of fast and effective
daily work.
Today’s mobile technology is making a great impact on millions
of people and combined with the power of biometrics, it can truly
change the world. In our session we will show the case studies
how we are changing the way of security, by providing most
mobile prints and flexibility.
CLOUD APP TESTING
HUMAN
IS IT IMPORTANT OR NOT?
MODERN HUMAN RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGIES
Torsten Meyer, Applause Sr. Director EU,
Channel & Marketing (Germany).
How can I test my app on all devices? How can I test sufficient
in face off short development cycles? How do I prevent a "Shit
Storm"? How do I test my app in various international
markets? How do I get permanent user feedback into the
product development? The inclusion of "community Testing" in
the development process helps these challenges to oppose.
Meanwhile community Testing is an advanced high-tech
solution, which is used by both large corporations and smaller
startups. So even Google is testing each new version of Gmail,
Chrome and YouTube based on community testing before a
new version may be released into the market.
