Empowering a data-driven future

Since its launch in 2022, the DataMiner Empower event has become a pivotal gathering for DataMiner DevOps engineers worldwide, offering them the chance to explore the latest innovations in the DataMiner xOps platform. Through hands-on exercises and real-world use cases, the event empowers participants to discover new ideas and strategies that will help them stay ahead in the fast-evolving, data-driven landscape.

“We are at an inflection point,” explained Bert Vandenberghe, CTO at Skyline Communications. “The data-driven world is not just evolving—it is revolutionizing everything. The way we innovate, the way we create, and the way we extract value from data is being reshaped at an unprecedented pace. The overwhelming attendance at Empower was a clear sign that the world is ready to accelerate. But to keep up, organizations need the right tools, strategies, and mindset in place.”

“Our Empower movement is all about breaking down barriers, democratizing technology, and giving people the tools they need to move faster, iterate smarter, and innovate without limits,” added Bert Vandenberghe. “The future belongs to those who can transform unique data and controls into game-changing value. With the DataMiner xOps platform, we’re making that future a reality.”

Community-driven innovation

A central theme at the event was the role of the DataMiner Community—a growing network of users, DevOps experts, and partners who collaborate to solve the most pressing technological challenges of today. This community-driven spirit came alive at DataMiner Empower through immersive sessions where real-world questions and use cases shaped the discussions. Attendees also had the chance to celebrate excellence with the prestigious DataMiner Awards, recognizing standout achievements in the community.

“Community is the heart of DataMiner,” said Wouter Bogaert, Community Ambassador at Skyline Communications. “Our xOps platform provides the technical foundation, but it’s the community and collaboration that truly drive change. The Empower event is just one example. We host events around the globe—offering everything from inspiration to hands-on learning. And with our Dojo Community platform, DataMiner users can learn at their own pace, get their certification, and tap into a network of peers for advice and support.”

xOps: the next frontier

A standout feature of the event was the spotlight on Skyline’s xOps initiative—a revolutionary shift in how organizations manage operations. Designed to be agile and data-driven, xOps empowers businesses to unlock the full potential of their data and controls, completely transforming how they innovate and scale.

“In a world where adaptability is key, agility is everything. The most agile team is me, myself, and I—because with the right tools, individuals and teams alike can rapidly move from concept to execution,” said Bert. “DataMiner is purpose-built for this, allowing organizations to design, build, and deploy solutions in an iterative, high-speed cycle. It’s a go-to technology stack for organizations embracing agility, innovation, and data-driven transformation.”

The event highlighted cutting-edge xOps features like CI/CD & catalog services, low-code applications, user-definable APIs, and DataMiner Object Modeling, showing how these tools help organizations supercharge their digital transformation and stay ahead in a competitive landscape.

Since its inception, the DataMiner Empower series has rapidly expanded across continents, reaching thousands of industry professionals. These events have quickly become a critical platform for organizations eager to lead in the data-driven age, with the DataMiner xOps platform driving their success.
