PHILOSHOPERS at Devoxx 2022

Devoxx, is a developer community event that takes place every year in Belgium. This year during Monday the 10th until Friday the 14th in October, the conference comprised of 5 full days of sessions where the developer community got together, networked, listened to inspiring talks from industry-leading experts, and explored the latest trends in technology. Java, Cloud, Big Data, Security, Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics, Programming Languages, Methodologies and Developer Culture made up the key topics discussed at the event.

PHILOSHOPERS once more could not be absent from such event. This year, our developers Kyriaki and Georgia had the opportunity to attend Devoxx. From conferences and deep dives, that talked about topics in detail, to tools-in-action and hands-on labs, that presented new technologies and were interactive, it was an excellent chance for them to develop professionally and grow their career by networking, learning new skills, and finding out what’s new in the developer world.

PHILOSHOPERS also never miss the chance to explore each place they go. Therefore, our developers made sure to enjoy the beautiful scenery and walk around the impressive streets of one of the largest cities in Belgium, Antwerp. The city, known as the diamond capital of the world, had a rich experience to offer.

There are a lot of interesting things about Belgium. French fries were invented there, as well as spas, cricket, and the theory of the big bang. Also, some of the world’s best painters originate from Belgium and it has the greatest number of castles per square mile in the world. Even the fact that Belgium’s national symbol is that of a urinating boy, makes it a truly unique country.

At PHILOSHOPIC we might be able to live without coffee, but we cannot imagine a world without chocolate. Our developers, as you might expect, adventured into Antwerp’s chocolate museum, and brought us back some of Belgium’s finest souvenirs – chocolate!

We look forward to next year’s Devoxx!

And who knows? You could be the next PHILOSHOPER to attend the following event somewhere around the world.

We welcome SPAR Cyprus to our CYDGX users family!

International Giant SPAR Supermarkets opened its doors in Cyprus with their first store in Larnaca, and we are very happy to have partnered up with them to offer an innovative and exciting service to their customers!

Materialising on SPAR’s  moto  of “What really matters is that your shopping experience is valuable” we have enabled consumers  to seamlessly purchase airtime top-ups, mobile internet, and  pre-paid money vouchers in a single transaction along with all their groceries at any POS checkout at SPAR – just by requesting it from the cashier!

Through the CYDGX service powered by the PREPAYXL cloud framework, SPAR can avail a wide range of digital products to their customers without any logistics, administration or inventory costs. All fully digitised! Soon, charity donations will also be added through the same innovative channel of service

Following the success of the first opening in Cyprus, SPAR plans to open another 20 stores nationwide over the next 5 years, and we can’t wait to implement more of our digital transformation services and together create more exciting experiences for the consumer!

Cyprus FinTech 2.0 – The Age of Unicorns

Cyprus FinTech Expo 2.0 took place on 13th Nov 2018 and we were there!

PHILOSHOPERS attended to engage with the local FinTech community! We felt right at home this year as the innovative use of technology towards an overall better customer experience is what our solutions deliver to the Financial Services industry, much alike our solutions for the Retail industry too, and it felt good! This message was echoed by most of the speakers and attendees as a core objective needed to win in a highly competitive landscape!

Addressing the enthusiastic crowd of 500+ new and familiar faces, our Co-Founder and Director Demetris Constantinou, introduced the FinTech & Banking Session, posing the question; ‘to bank or not to bank?’. Although Banks may generally view the FinTech Unicorns as a threat, embracing and turning into fintech hubs themselves is actually an opportunity that we see gaining traction internationally – something we like to call #Fintechgration.

Further down the line, Demetris then introduced the New Technologies session demonstrating the fundamental ABC’s of the new digital era; AI, Blockchain, Cloud, Data (and more Data..), emphasizing  that the 4th Industrial Revolution we are currently experiencing, came much sooner and bolder than ever before – technologies such as AI and the Cloud may not be so “new” however, amazing use cases surface at speeds we have not experienced before.

Keynote speaker Siam Kidd closed the conference with a great keynote point; Disrupt yourself or else be disrupted! He gave many examples of businesses that failed to do so and vanished and predicted which ones may soon be history – The only companies that will THRIVE in the new tech shift are those that aren’t scared to step outside the box and imagine the endless possibilities! When we, as PHILOSHOPIC, help businesses disrupt their legacy and successful customer loyalty and engagements programs, we certainly do exactly that; help them ride the new wave before the newcomers disrupt the industry again and get left behind or on the sidelines. The beauty of SMASH Loyalty & Consumer Engagement framework is that it can support both legacy and next-gen solutions!

It was an awesome event and a great opportunity for us to engage with the Cyprus FinTech Community – Thank you IMH for the invitation and we look forward for FinTech Expo 3.0! In the meantime we will continue to help Retailers, Distributors, Brands and Financial Services organizations meet and exceed their objectives through our technologies!
