Tech company Sioux has joined forces with Romanian software developer Qubiz. The two parties have been working together for some time now, but are now going one step further. The fruitful cooperation is now entering its next phase with the opening of a centre of expertise in Romania. Sioux is co-owner of this joint Big Data centre.
Ron Willems, who is responsible for the electronics and software division, says that knowledge and skills on Big Data are essential: “Our customers are in the process of making the transition to Industry 4.0. Machines are connected via the Cloud, critical information must be accessible 24 hours a day via secure channels and service must be provided remotely. In Qubiz, we have found the perfect partner to strengthen our expertise in this area.” According to Sioux, cooperation between the companies offers quality and flexibility, while the engineers of Sioux remain the trusted point of contact for the customers.
Big Data
“Data is available on an increasingly large scale within the industry.” says Janne Brok, manager at the mathematics engineering division of Sioux. “In addition to challenges related to algorithms and analytics, our customers need support in the infrastructure and application domain. Together with Qubiz, we can take care of the complete scope of big data projects for our customers. The integrated multidisciplinary approach of Sioux and Qubiz will make the difference here.”
