AI • INSPIRATION DAY

At SMART4Solutions, we’ve been delving into the world of AI and the latest trends for quite some time. Oracle continues to lead the way, as we saw during Larry Ellison’s recent keynote "Oracle’s Vision and Strategy" at Oracle Cloud World.

To further inspire our team and friends, we’re hosting an AI Inspiration Day this Friday, October 11th, packed with exciting sessions. We kick off with AI Fundamentals, followed by a showcase of AI tools targeted at software development. We end the day with a Mini-Hackathon. Everything is focused on practical applications and innovation within Oracle APEX.

We are so happy with our new family member. Welcome aboard Siyu! “I now thrive in the IT field, having completed a traineeship and joining SMART4Solutions, where I tackle complex challenges using both high and low code, optimizing efficiency. Outside of work, I find happiness in nature hikes and cozy moments at home with my partner and our two cats!”�

We asked Thomas Hartman, one of our younger developers, about his first experience at the APEX World '24 after two wonderful days; “My first dive into the conference world was an interesting experience! It was nice to see familiar faces from the NVWA (one of our clients) and speakers whose photos I had seen online many times before. The presentations were often broad in scope and focused more on new features than on in-depth knowledge. It felt like a sneak peek into the world of Oracle APEX — promising, but sometimes superficial. And let's talk about the catering—it was well organized. In short, APEX World was a rollercoaster of encounters, introductions, and gastronomic pleasures. I look forward to next year!”

Recently, our entire family attended a training on requirement management. Wim Decouterse, the Learning & Development Expert from CTG, led the session. We gained valuable insights into the dynamics between IT and business. Most importantly, we learned how to build a communicative bridge among all stakeholders involved. Now, onto the exam. To be continued.

IT’s about Taking care of eachother!
When it really matters, it is crucial that we are there for each other in emergency situations. That's how we feel at SMART4Solutions. This applies not only to our family members but also to our fellow human beings. Taking a CPR and AED course (EH2100) is an essential part of that, of course.

As many of you know, HrOUG hosts one of Europe's most spectacular Oracle APEX conferences every year. It's not just the breathtaking backdrop of Croatia that makes it special, but also the promising lineup of top-notch speakers. This year, we're excited to be part of it once again. Our very own Oracle Ace Director, Richard Martens, will be presenting on 18th and 19th and he's bringing Jordy Kiesebrink along as a co-speaker. Jordy, who has recently joined the SMART4Solutions team, has already secured a spot in the HrOUG program.
See you there!"
