Famous women who coded their way to the top

International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8 every year, but this day is more than flowers and gifts. This day is about woman’s power and empowerment, about enabling their voices to be heard and giving them control over their own lives. In IT industry, we are honored to have amazing women who achieved so much more and exceeded societies expectations from them. It`s our pleasure to remind everyone of the fact that the first ever programmer was a woman!

Ada Lovelace (10 December 1815 – 27 November 1852) wrote the very first computer-program way back in 1840. She is known for her work on Charles Babbage’s proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the first to recognize that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation, and published the first algorithm intended to be carried out by such a machine.

Another impressive lady that marked our field is Grace Hopper (December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992). Her name is known not only for her programming abilities but also to the fact that she was United States Navy rear admiral. As an American computer scientist, Grace Hopper was a pioneer of computer programming who invented one of the first compiler related tools. She popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages, which led to the development of COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today.

The first programmers of the ENIAC

One of the greatest female programmers of all time was Jean Jennings Bartik (December 27, 1924 – March 23, 2011). She was one of the original programmers for the ENIAC computer, the earliest electronic general-purpose computers made. Jean Jennings Bartik remains in the history as one of the first computer programmers and a pioneering forerunner in a technology that came to be known as software.

Along with Jean Jennings Bartik, Frances V. Spence (March 2, 1922 – July 18, 2012) was part of the original programmers` team for the ENIAC. She is considered one of the first computer programmers in history. The ENIAC team was completed by Kathleen “Kay” McNulty Mauchly Antonelli (12 February, 1921 – 20 April 2006), Frances Elizabeth “Betty” Holberton (March 7, 1917 – December 8, 2001), Marlyn Wescoff Meltzer (1922 – December 4, 2008) and Ruth Teitelbaum (1924–1986).

These ladies are just a few of the best female programmers. As mentioned, the history of computing programming was marked by amazing women and, at AXON Soft, we believe that in modern society women have equal opportunities in this field. We also believe that thanks to all our amazing colleagues, we`ll have a lot more awesome software programs in the future and that ladies all over the world will continue to make a difference in this field.

Spring, the season of good deeds for AXON Soft team

At AXON Soft, our daily mission is to make a difference in someone`s life. This does not refer just to their professional life, but also to contribute to the well-being of those around us. And if we take into consideration the fact that every three seconds someone needs blood, it`s only natural to take action. Our colleagues at AXON-Soft decided to give the gift of life by donating blood.

Any blood donation counts! This is the first lesson that we learned while donating. The main reason for this is that a single donor can save up to three lives. It`s quite impressive if you think that in just a half an hour you can achieve such amazing results. Moreover, what made us go and donate is the fact that by donating blood, you are giving people something money can`t buy and science can`t create. Without any further thoughts, the first of March found us at the Regional Transfusion Center from Cluj. The center and personal exceeded our expectation – everyone was extremely friendly, the rooms were making us feel calm and the whole process went smoothly, without problems.

A sweet surprise for grandparents

Every donor receives, from the Romanian government, 7 meal tickets. Since our reason was a noble one, we wanted to continue our day on a positive note and to put the smile on the face of over a hundred people from the daycare center for the elderly.

All of our colleagues got involved and in no time we managed to prepare 105 packages of sweets, fruits and juice for every elderly from the center. It was the best feeling to see the smile and hope on their faces when we went to offer them our little sweet symbol of spring. Maybe even more impressive were the words of the center`s manager: “I manage this center for more than 20 years and we receive donations every once in a while, but no one ever called me to say that they donate blood and that they want to prepare a surprise for our elderly. I know those tickets were not enough, but the gesture was extremely noble“.

At the end of the day, the most valuable lesson that we`ve learned was that it takes a very little effort to put a smile on someone`s face, to save a life and to bring hope in the lives of our fellowmen. We kindly invite you to join the mission with small gestures every day!

AXON Soft team shares food and love for dogs from the “Arca lui Noe” shelter

2018 is a special year for AXON Soft because we have reached an important milestone! We are celebrating 20 years of success in delivering software development projects with real global impact. We are very grateful for everything that Cluj-Napoca is offering to us and we feel the need to actively contribute to the well-being of those living next to us.

In January, we`ve announced that we`re supporting the International Mathematical Olympiad that will take place in Cluj. At AXON Soft, performance is a keyword and supporting the most prestigious scientific Olympiad seemed the best step to begin our festive year.

This month we`ve decided to get involved in the life of those who are not so fortunate. We think that it`s very important to keep a balance between business and sensitive issues from society. As a team, AXON Soft decided to pay more attention to social projects. This is why this month we`ve decided to give an extra help to our friends from the association for animal protection, Arca lui Noe, Cluj. Some of our colleagues already adopted animals from them, but we wanted to help them by providing food and love to the approximately 150 dogs from the shelter.

Every dog needs food and affection

Thanks to one amazing lady, Ms. Bora, we were able to find out more about the dogs from Arca lui Noe. During our field visit, Ms. Bora told us every dog`s story and it was quite shocking to find out how bad some people treat dogs. Even though we knew the theory, the reality was something else. It`s hard to see those puppy eyes and hear that they were drowning. It also seemed unfair to hear how many expectations we have from the associations that support the grateful souls of these little dogs. But even though we, as humans, don`t always treat animals right, it was amazing to see how dedicated are to dogs Ms. Bora and her team. We had an amazing time while visiting the dogs and offering them our love.

As a team, we are convinced that we will return to them as often as we can. But in the meantime, we kindly invite you to join their mission because any helping hand can make a difference! We have many ways to help Arca lui Noe. We can donate 2% of your income taxes, provide food or simply go and volunteer once in a while.

AXON Soft works on the next generation of workforce management software

For 20 years, we deliver successful software development project with real global impact. After Axiodis, an application developed for a French client which was included in top 10 worldwide, this year AXON Soft launched a new promising project. Together with an international client ranked in top 10 software company in Workforce Management (HRIS, Forecasting, Scheduling, Time and Attendance, Performance Monitoring) we will develop the next generation of WMF application.

Performance above all

Our newest project consists of an international and agile team working for a top application that will change the workforce management software as we know it. This application will help companies to manage and engage their most valuable resource: THE PEOPLE. The product roadmap implies using state of the art technology, intelligent features, UX and UI focus, powered by an in-house calculation engine to achieve this goal.

Ultimately, the application`s purpose is to provide an ideal schedule that can assign the right number of suitably-skilled employees on tasks and activities with varying volumes. Furthermore, the process acknowledges the need to respect commitments made for quality of service and profitability, not forgetting the individual and their rights. The work schedules are a cornerstone of the work/life balance, one of the main concern of the people.

Experienced team

AXON Soft was always the place where the professionals show integrity to ensure the quality of the services. Our team is driven by the desire of achieving higher and higher results and delivering products that correspond to the highest standards in the industry.

To successfully reach our goal, we put a lot of work to our employees` personal development and, as a result, our team is permanently connected to our customer`s need, offering the latest technology and the most innovative approaches.

Through our competences, we make a difference in the quality and the efficiency of software in different fields – from banking to CRM, ERP, logistics, e-Commerce, B2B, B2C, B2F, security, assets management or web. With this new project ahead of us, we are convinced that we will reinforce our areas of expertise and highlight our position as one of the best outsourcing companies from Romania.

AXON Soft supports the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2018

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the largest, oldest and most prestigious scientific Olympiad for high school students. The history of IMO dates back to 1959 when the first edition was held in Romania with seven countries participating. In 2018, the International Mathematical Olympiad returns to Romania and will take place in Cluj.

AXON Soft proudly supports IMO, especially because for the last 20 years we empower people, innovation and progress. We have a tradition in high performing software development and this is one reason we are proud to support performance at IMO 2018.

Over 1300 guests will come to Cluj

IMO is the World Championship Mathematics Competition for High School students and every year takes place in a different country. This year, Cluj-Napoca will host over 1.300 student, teachers, leaders, observers, and volunteers from 120 countries from 5 continents. Each country can send a team of up to six secondary students or individuals who have not entered University or the equivalent, as of the date of celebration of the Olympiad, plus one team leader, one deputy leader, and observers if desired.

“The privilege of hosting this event in Cluj comes as a recognition of an efficient inter-institutional collaboration, and a climate that attracts the business environment into major education projects – a management priority transformed into the goal of building a school that we can call, without a doubt, performant. We are convinced that this edition will be a royal of the competition and the scientific performance”, considers Valentin Claudiu Cuibus, the general manager of IMO 2018.

It`s our greatest honor to be part of this prestigious event, now when we celebrate 20 years of activity. We like to add value to our project and to our community. We consider this event to be the best ambassador for Cluj and for the potential of this city.

See how Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we live our lives

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will become mainstream in 2018, considers Ralph Haupter, the president of Microsoft Asia, and we have lots of arguments to believe the same way. AI is a strategic area of investment for every enterprise and it`s considered to be the only way to remain one step ahead of competitors. A survey conducted by Vanson Bourne on behalf of Teradata on 260 IT and business decision-makers VP-level or higher, from organizations with a global revenue of more than $50M a year, shows that an extraordinary 80% of enterprises are investing in AI.

Industries impacted by AI

Though almost all industries are affected and invest in AI, there are a couple of areas that will be revolutionized by it. The same survey highlights the fact that 59% of companies from IT and telecommunications expect to benefit from AI, followed by 43% business and professional services and 32% of customer services and financial services.

AI will revolutionize medicine

Julie Choi, head of marketing in the Artificial Intelligence Products Group at Intel, considers that in 2018 AI will expand to medical diagnostics and will adapt to companies need to bring solutions to market.

Mark Michalski, executive director, “Massachusetts General Hospital” and “Brigham and Women’s Hospital Center” for Clinical Data Science, cited by blogs.nvidia.com, says 2018 will be the year AI becomes real for medicine: “By the end of next year, I think around half of leading healthcare systems will have adopted some form of AI within their diagnostic groups. In 2018, we’ll begin the adoption of a technology that may truly transform the way providers work, and the way patients experience healthcare, on a global scale”.

AI in everyday life

Research scientists expect that this year everybody will have a virtual assistant and that AI will help them getting smarter. The most widely used assistants are Siri, from Apple, Google Assistant, Alexa, from Amazon and Cortana from Microsoft. 2018 should be the year in which our voice-based gadgets will work together, we`ll have personalized media – from reports to music playlists, according to our taste and interests. Experts believe that soon people will ask themselves how were we able to live without AI, which will allow us to accelerate the development of new innovative products in all areas.

AI will create new jobs

Although AI will bring lots of advantage, people continue to wonder if their jobs are safe or if they risk losing them because of robots. According to a Gartner report from December 2017, AI will replace only low-level, routine work. Moreover, AI is expected to create 2.3 million new jobs by 2020, while eliminating only 1.8 million jobs.

2018 is the year of the Hybrid Cloud

Cloud computing has come into existence in 2000. Since then it enables organizations to access rapidly and effortlessly shared resources. Cloud computing relies on adjusting resources to meet fluctuating and unpredictable business demands in order to achieve coherence and economy of scale.

While private clouds operate for a single organization, the public ones rent their services for public use. Since both of them have strengths and weaknesses, organizations found competitive advantages in the hybrid cloud because it delivers the expected experience. The composition between two or more private and public clouds crosses isolation and allows integration.

Although it took a while to convince clients of its security and trustworthiness, nowadays more and more companies implement a hybrid cloud strategy. A setup where existing systems on a traditional IT infrastructure are combined with a public cloud service is currently the most frequent use case of a hybrid cloud. This way, companies manage to put selected workloads in the public cloud and keep others in-house.

Who’s affected by hybrid cloud

Hybrid cloud systems can be very effectively utilized for industries with variable workloads. This already affects any industry that needs a minimum security against data loss.

Building a hybrid cloud for your organization requires planning and forethought. The best way to achieving the optimal solution is to work closely with the vendors. The largest players in the cloud market are becoming more responsive to the complexities of managing the hybrid cloud. They are offering more solutions and tools to assist in the transition.

A true hybrid cloud should enable you to move workloads back and forth with relative ease. Also, it should allow connecting resources you want to remain on premise with the ones that it makes more sense to transfer to a cloud. When choosing your cloud solution you need to take into consideration data security, safety, and efficiency.

2018, the year of the hybrid cloud

Enterprises are increasingly adopting the cloud for data management and the hybrid cloud is heading the same way. A SUSE study, conducted on more than 1,400 senior IT decision-makers in 20 countries across a wide variety of industries, shows that hybrid cloud strategies are growing faster than private or public cloud. 66% of respondents expect hybrid cloud growth to continue, compared to 55% for private cloud and 36% for public cloud.

Moreover, from May 2018, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) will serve as a catalyst for enterprises investing in data governance and change the face of data protection as we know it. As public clouds will be riskier options under GDPR, it`s predictable that the interest in the hybrid cloud will increase.

An approach to functional programming and trending programming paradigms debated at Codecamp Cluj-Napoca on 11 November

Over 2000 attendees

Last Saturday, AXON Soft participated as a partner of the 4th edition of Codecamp in Cluj-Napoca in order to strengthen our mutual commitment to the local community of IT professionals. The event was gladly received and attracted over 2000 attendees driven by their passion for IT.

The event included a full day of presentations provided by local and international speakers on topics of current interest in JAVA, .NET, PHP, Agile Development and so on. The great number of attendees and the willingness to find out more techniques surrounding certain IT topics came together to make a great Saturday for new and fresh ideas.

A topic of interest for JAVA professionals was discussed by our speaker, Martino BETTUCCI. He delivered a session about ‘Functional Programming and New Programming Paradigms’. Martino explained the differences between two mathematical concepts, the ‘Touring Machine’ and ‘Lambda Calculus’, and how these reflect into different mindsets – the Imperative and the Functional programming. In order to have a better understanding of the concepts, he used several practical examples in Java 9. At the end Martino offered a live running demo, using the same algorithm written in the two different programming styles, showing how each reflects into the written code and into the use of the hardware resources, giving also ideas on which one should be used depending on certain scenarios.

In conclusion, we are excited to say it was an intense session and we would like to thank all the participants for their interest. We really enjoyed seeing such a big IT community in our town! See you at the next Codecamp edition!

Here are some pictures of the atmosphere described:

Understanding Artificial Intelligence

Maybe if you work in the computer industry you have heard a lot about Artificial Intelligence. In the most cases, for non-technological people, AI is associated with movies like Terminator, Star Wars, Transformers, and others. And as you think, it’s a mistake.

AI it’s not the body, not the robot, not the terminator, these are just the recipients for AI. However, AI is already here today, we use it almost every day. So having a high interest in how new technologies will influence our day to day life, we’ve started to make a research.

For a better understanding, the specialists classify the forms of AI in three major categories, which are based on AI’ caliber categories.

Form 1) ANI or Artificial Narrow Intelligence – is an AI that has one dedicated purpose and is specialized in one area. For example, Alpha Go developed by Alphabetical Inc.’s Google Deepmind is the first computer program to defeat the strongest Go player in history. The algorithm from this computer is good at one thing: at playing GO, and nothing more. If you’ll give some other tasks to complete, such as solving mathematical problems, it will be like a non-technical person looking at a code.

At this stage, your natural human capabilities will be augmented by computational systems that help you think, solve problems more quickly and do any kind of things that can be mathematically represented.

Imagine that if you don’t know something or you have a question, in a few seconds you will know the answer from Google. Even Siri, Cortana and other AI are at this stage. In other words, ANI computers do exactly what we told them to do, so they are limited.

Form 2) AGI or Artificial General Intelligence – refers to a computer that is as smart as a human being, or a little bit more. A computer integrated into a machine could make any intellectual task that a human being could also do. This is the next big level after ANI.

The programmers work to AGI computers to make them come up with new things all by themselves. Imagine a generative design tool that comes with new designs all by themselves. Ohh, this already exists. Logojoy is an AI Design tool that can create logos. All you need to do is to enter a few characteristics and your logo is done. The aircraft designers from Airbus and the Autodesk University had made a 3D printed cabin partition that is designed using Autodesk generative design algorithms.

So, AGI can generate things and can come with their own solutions to define our problems but just if it’s being helped by a specialist who knows what data to introduce.

Form 3) ASI or Artificial Super Intelligence – is “an intellect that is much smarter than the best human brains in practically every field, including scientific creativity, general wisdom, and social skills” as Nick Bostrom, a popular Swedish philosopher at Oxford and the writer of the best seller “Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies”, says.

ASI is the reason why everybody talks about Terminator, robots, and others. In fact, the experts said that is the most crucial topic for our future. ASI will change everything.

And now, what AI really means:

Think of a human being, AI is the brain and the robot is the body. The ultimate cars are full of systems, from the computer technologies that give the car permission to self-drive without putting your hands on the steering wheel to computers that identifies thousands of factors in a second and sends signals to lock your wheels. The computer is the AI and the car is the robot. Now I hope from our research you understand that AI is not a robot, is the computer that controls the robot.

In conclusion, the fact that we enter into a new age of the human history is true. The way technology is changing, is incredibly fast. Thinking about the fact that Google was founded 20 years ago, we can see how much it has evolved. Think about Facebook, it was founded about 13 years ago and where it is now. Within 20 years, nobody expected this. In fact, we have Google that finds things for us, we have Google translate that translate for us, we have automated manufacturing that is producing things for us. We have Siri, Cortana, application maps and behind all of this is a little AI computer.

How will AI change the way we live? We don’t know yet. But, we think that the change will be exponential.

Roaming costs are axed in EU deal. How will this decision influence the IT sector?

The European Parliament and the European Commission have decided to cut off roaming charges from 15th June for all EU countries and those of the European Economic Area. This decision will have a major impact on IT sector.

How will end of roaming charges work?

From 15th June, SMSs and data consumed in roaming within the EU and EEA countries will be subtracted from the national resources included. Once these resources are exhausted, consumption will be priced as in Romania, outside of the customer’s network, but within the limits of reasonable use.

To prevent abusive use of roaming in the EU/EEA, or the use for purposes other than for occasional travelers outside Romania, for instance, the permanent use of roaming services in the EU/EAA, any supplier may define a policy of reasonableness use of this service.

These new roaming rules will deeply transform IT&C markets. There are some trends that can easily be predicted.

First of all, it will greatly increase data traffic on mobile devices. Until now, most of the mobile data users, for cost reasons, used few mobile data roaming. Most often, they preferred to use their phones or tablets when they were connected to hotspots in hotels, hostels or restaurants. This means that the number of mobile applications will grow more and more. It’s good news for Waze users, for those who will make more live streaming on Facebook, or who use social media installed on mobile devices or reading news on their phone. Because of this, the mobile applications industry will take more advantages.

Owners of programs and applications that were particularly used for proving the ability to communicate free of charge, need to reinvent themselves. Skype or WhatsApp must provide new services to customers to stay on the market. Otherwise, it will be the same thing as Yahoo! Messenger.

Another sector that will see a great increase in numbers, will be the e-commerce one. Already, 40 percent of online goods purchases take place on mobile phones. Experts estimate that by the end of this year or early next year, half of the online transactions of goods will take place on mobile devices. The new rules on roaming will further boost this trend. It will also significantly increase the value of online transactions. By the middle of 2016, Romanians spent five million euro a day on online shopping. This year, the average will reach seven million euro a day. This figure does not include electronic payment of taxes, utility bills, airline tickets, bus or train tickets, tickets for concerts or other events, hotel bookings or holiday pay.

There has also been a big challenge for telecom companies. They will face a significant increase in the volume of voice and data traffic. So, they will have to significantly increase their technical ability to cope with this phenomenon. This means that these companies will invest in new technologies that will lead to superior performance in data and voice traffic.

Finally, the increase in volumes will further reduce the cost of telecommunication services. Romania has already experienced this scenario when the fixed telephony operator with the monopoly on the local market has dropped the additional tariffs required for inter-county calls. And the new technologies used by telecom operators will raise a new challenge for mobile phone manufacturers who will have to market new devices with higher performance. But these new devices will lead to new opportunities for mobile application developers.

Are you ready for a new technological revolution?
