Why should a lecture be interesting? 

Let’s have a look at the real life example of a railways company in the need of more timely and reliable information, to better manage their wagons. Wagons that travel tens of thousands of kilometers, often beyond Slovak borders, not connected to internet, with no power supply. When a big part of the available information comes from external sources, or is missing. We will have a peek to see how the process digitalization helps to solve these challenges.

Managers need a reliable and timely information to be able to manage a company or an institution. The need for the information is as natural, as is natural the lack of its availability. There are several possible ways, how to get the information you need: fast, but expensive and less reliable; precise, but slow and expensive; or cheap but unreliable.

Or can we use the technological advances to collect the timely and useful information and to process it further to enable and support the effective decision making? This can be all possible with the help of the magic tools hidden behind such words as IoT and analytics.
