I often talk with clients about how knowledge sharing is one of our core values.

They’re often curious to hear whether we walk the talk or if we’re all empty promises.

So, as a resolution going forward, I’ll try to write down regularly what we do from Xebia Data. Brace yourself: long post ahead!

Since January, here’s a concise list of our knowledge-sharing activities:
