The challenge of the systems engineer and data manager
13:00 – 14:30
Abstract
The challenge for systems engineers and data managers: how do you ensure your tools continue to support you – especially when systems become more complex, capacity is scarce, and good data is crucial?
Datastorms is a platform that mechanizes (manual) processes and integrates systems. At Datastorms, we prioritize data for effective system development and management. At the same time, we never lose sight of the end user: the processes and needs of the people who work with them.
What can you expect from this interactive workshop? We’ll see how our platform goes beyond mere data management.
Datastorms organizes data-related processes in a smart and flexible way. Think of workflows that automatically respond to changes: updating linked datasets in libraries, directing actions, or informing stakeholders. No more spreadsheets as a bottleneck, but a scalable platform that thinks along, adapts, and integrates.
Integration and standards as the foundation for management
Thanks to our extensive API, Datastorms integrates effortlessly with existing tools and systems. In addition, the platform facilitates standardization: projects can work from a central library of defined objects, definitions, or templates. This accelerates system development, facilitates standardization, and enables the acceleration of ambitions.
AI and smart technology as support for human work
Finally, we demonstrate how the smart technology within the platform is used not to replace people, but rather as a solution for capacity shortages. Think of support for prioritization, analysis, and advice – within the context of your own processes. This allows teams to make a significant difference, from the tender process to delivery.
For whom?
This session is relevant for systems engineers who work with complex projects, fragmented data, manual processes, or inadequate tools.
Bio Martijn van Loenen
Martijn has been a pioneer in Systems Engineering and Information Management since 2008, focusing on complex projects in infrastructure, water safety, and non-residential construction.
He combines in-depth SE knowledge with broad IT expertise. His strength lies in structuring complex information flows and translating these processes into groundbreaking, integrated solutions that give both clients and contractors an advantage.
Based on this experience, he launched the Datastorms platform, which he uses to resolve persistent bottlenecks in systems and their communication. In this way, he demonstrably elevates collaboration and data quality in projects to a higher level.
Bio Ivar Rood
Ivar has over 20 years of experience in civil engineering and has built extensive expertise in projects involving complex infrastructure such as locks, tunnels, and bridges.
Ivar combines process knowledge with a technical background. His strength lies in translating complex issues into workable processes, focusing on demonstrability, risk management, and quality.
As a colleague at Van Loenen, he inspires the use of AI and other smart technologies to mechanize and, where possible, automate work within the field. This input has practically enriched multiple functionalities within Datastorms!
