The Chief Data officer Summit was held in San Francisco on May 22nd & 23rd 2014. EURA NOVA‘s attendance purpose was to assess companies’ current Big Data challenges and to define an efficient positioning strategy in this highly competitive market. The following article depicts companies’ current expectations regarding Big Data, the approach they adopted and the challenges they face.
Testing the Tesla Model S
EURA NOVA recently tested the usually praised Tesla cars (The Model S P85 in our case). While we were impressed by the engineering work behind such a vehicle, some of its aspects convinced us that the near 100k € price point can’t be justified, in particular on the Belgian market with its volatile fiscal rules. Flashback on a very fun testing session!

Event Based Marketing for the Telecommunications Industry
What is Event Based Marketing?
Event Based Marketing (EBM) that frequently is also referred to as Event Driven Marketing (EDM) or Trigger Based Marketing, is the discipline within marketing where commercial and communication activities are based upon these relevant and identified changes in a customer’s individual needs. It tends to identify key events in the customer’s life-cycle and trigger the most appropriate actions at the right time.
Choosing a language for your development project: our criteria?
In our previous articles « why language choice doesn’t matter for your development project » and « why language choice does matter for your development project », we have taken absurdly strong positions in favor and against the selection of a specific development language for a given project.
Why language choice does matter for your development project?
This post points out the reasons that make choosing a language for a specific project relevant. Of course, you can find online articles that explain “Why language choice does not matter for your development project”. In the end, the choice is yours!

Demystifying Context Awareness
You got it, in this blog we are talking about CEP and Event Stream Processing (ESP). In recent years, we have seen a lot of interest in “context-aware” applications or, if you prefer, detecting in real-time interesting contexts. But, if you look at tech blogs or even at IT vendors you can sometimes see ESP, CEP or pattern matching engines for this kind of applications. So what? If I need to be able to react in Real-time to interesting situations (business wise) by processing Streams of Events which one should I use? Are they the same? If I do complex things when I process my event stream do I really do Complex Event Processing? Then, does it mean that I need a CEP ?” These are really interesting questions that I will try to answer in this post.

The GPU Technology Conference is one of those events where cutting-edge technology meets industrial players who are either see an opportunity to invest in the future trends or are able to match actual problems with the new abilities enabled by the technology. It is the place where the recent developments in the domain of GPU computing get presented, along with a showcase of all the challenges that the GPU technology has resolved so far. For a company such as EURA NOVA, this is the place where existing solutions meets new challenges that require innovation.
Big Data in Health Care
Data reuse in health care is a vast topic, one problematic being the anonymization of the data themselves. This is such a complex problem that it’s usually the one in the spotlights, but it is useful sometimes to remind ourselves why working out the data is needed. Let us imagine briefly that we have solved the matter and reflect only on the opportunities and solutions Big Data technologies bring.
