On March 11, we had the pleasure of welcoming our customers, partners and many new connections to the Vision-X-Future Data Summit in Zurich. Looking back, it was a truly rewarding day, filled with inspiring discussions and valuable insights.
What stood out most to me was the energy throughout the entire event. From the first session to the final conversations, there was a clear shared ambition: turning data into real business value. The combination of thought-provoking keynotes, practical use cases and open exchange once again showed what makes this format so valuable.

From Strategy to Execution​

A particular highlight of the day was the presentation by Alexander Korn, Solution Engineer - Cloud & AI Data Platform at Microsoft Deutschland GmbH. He clearly demonstrated how organizations can bridge the gap between modern data architectures and real business value.
In his session “Power BI works - That’s Exactly Why You Still Need Fabric”, he addressed the growing complexity of Power BI environments. Using practical examples, he showed how Microsoft Fabric improves scalability, monitoring and efficiency, and why it should be considered the new standard, not just an add-on.


Learning from Real-World Use Cases: Siemens

A central part of the afternoon was dedicated to customer success stories, featuring two presentations from Siemens. Tiago Gomes Santos, SI Data Visualization Transformation Project Manager at Siemens S.A., shared insights into their Power BI migration journey and how the collaboration with the HICO Group enabled more efficient reporting and better decision-making.

Rui Teixeira, Product Owner at Siemens S.A., demonstrated how Siemens is evolving its planning and reporting landscape with Jedox, highlighting strengthened processes and measurable impact through continuous improvements.

What stood out in both sessions was the clear focus on practical implementation. These were proven approaches delivering real value in a complex, global environment.


The Value of Exchange

Beyond the presentations, the summit once again proved how important personal exchange is. Throughout the day, we saw valuable conversations between customers, partners and experts. New connections were established, existing relationships strengthened and many ideas were discussed that will continue beyond the event. This kind of exchange is essential for driving innovation and turning ideas into real progress.

 

Thank You to Our Partners

I would like to sincerely thank our partners Qlik and Jedox for their support. Their contribution played an important role in making this event such a success.


Looking Ahead

The Vision-X-Future Data Summit Zurich 2026 was, in my view, a great success. A day full of inspiration, practical insights and strong collaboration. I am already looking forward to continuing this journey together with our customers and partners and to seeing how the ideas and discussions from this day will translate into real impact in the months ahead.
