“Informative, rewarding, enjoyable and overall excellent.”
The IET NI local network recently hosted a very successful technical visit to the BT Riverside Tower in Belfast, receiving excellent reviews from attendees.
BT is a global provider of communications solutions and IT services with annual revenues of more than £800m, with close to 3,000 employees in Ireland. BT Technology, Service and Operations employs over 200 IT graduates in Belfast designing and building BT’s global networks, systems and services.
The visit began with an introductory presentation followed by demonstrations on active projects. The group heard directly from those who are working on these projects and developing solutions which will used in the BT Sport, BT Broadband and BT TV products. On display was cutting edge technology being progressed in the areas of big data and behavioural learning.
The tour was well attended and the keen interest presented by those attending was reciprocated with a willingness by the hosts to explain the fantastic developments being made.
The local network would like to thank all the staff at BT who made the tour possible, particularly Alastair and the demonstrators for leading and facilitating attendees.
