This year we celebrated the 1Oth Anniversary of our company with an exclusive edition of our renowned Big Industries Academy set in the stunning location of Montenegro.
Big Industries was founded in 2014 during the height of the Big Data craze. While the buzz around Big Data was loud, few grasped how to harness its power. Big Industries not only comprehended the intricacies of the technology but also foresaw the transformative impact it would have on businesses.
Traditional companies that were sticking to outdated systems found themselves unable to keep up with the competition from innovative digital rivals. In response, Big Industries aimed to empower Belgian businesses embracing Big Data, enabling them to stand toe-to-toe with Silicon Valley giants.
Our initial collaboration was with Cloudera, the creators of Apache Hadoop – a pivotal platform that significantly contributed to the global popularity of Big Data. Its ongoing relevance is why we remain dedicated to supporting our valued Cloudera clients to this day.
Significant shifts have occurred since 2013, with the widespread acceptance of the cloud and a growing interest from companies to harness its capabilities. Big Industries has forged new collaborations with AWS, Microsoft Azure, Databricks, Dbt Labs and Confluent, while also closely monitoring the developments on the Google Cloud platform.
BIG Industries strives to exceed the role of a mere consultancy firm for our customers and elevate beyond just a job for our team members. Through constant refinement of our core values and their seamless integration into our operations, we have successfully cultivated a culture that goes above and beyond in all aspects of our endeavors.
Our company values are:
Be generous in sharing your knowledge. What goes around comes around. Sharing is caring and by sharing our wisdom, we are able to collaborate better as a team and create a closer bond with one another.
At Big Industries we sponsor an environment where people dare to get out of their comfort zone, step up, build their expertise and become a go-to trusted advisor for all things data-driven.
We are one big team, where there is trust, where we help each other, where we feel at home, where we have fun and are enthusiastic about what we do. And what we value most is showing respect and gratitude to one another.
Every quarter, we step away from the corporate setting to expand our horizons through team-building activities for our entire staff. These sessions kick off with a group gathering where consultants showcase their projects, highlighting the challenges they aim to overcome. By delving into the technical intricacies and outlining their project vision, they open the floor for input from fellow team members and consultants. This collaborative approach fosters fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, which often prove beneficial across various projects.
Another important aspect of our team-building activities is fostering a sense of unity and enjoyment among our team members. We always strive to organize activities that resonate with everyone, promoting a strong bond within the team. Given the intense focus that comes with being IT professionals, we opt for outdoor activities to help us connect with nature and rejuvenate our spirits.
Big Industries was established during the pinnacle of the Big Data frenzy, and our commitment to continuous evolution is evident. We grow hand in hand with technology, ensuring that our clients consistently have access to the most informed and cutting-edge solutions available.
Evolving means growing, also in numbers – and that’s why we’re looking for additional people to join our team. We have lots of interesting projects ahead of us, and we’re always looking forward to the next challenge. Want to join and strengthen our team?
