adesso Blog

adesso is known for its progressive and flexible working culture, which is strongly focussed on the development and promotion of its employees. An outstanding example of this is my personal experience with the individual support that enabled me to complete the Chamber of Trade's Business IT Specialist programme. I describe my experiences in my blog post.

In the ever-evolving world of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an indispensable tool that is revolutionising various industries. One of the most fascinating applications of AI can be found in the field of design. AI-driven design offers new possibilities for the (interaction) design of software products and is changing the way we look at creativity and innovation. This blog post looks at what AI-Driven Design is, how it works and the benefits it offers specifically for healthcare applications.

ECO:DIGIT is a research and development project with the participation of adesso, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. The aim is to develop and standardise a uniform methodology for the automated life cycle assessment of distributed software systems and to implement an accessible and productive software system. I explain what this looks like in detail in my blog post.

The first two parts of my blog post dealt with the general opportunities and challenges of AI, specific applications of generative AI and AI in the various phases of the customer journey. In the third and final part, I take a closer look at the future developments of AI in the insurance sector.

Microservices are a prevailing trend in software architecture that breaks down large systems into independent units. They offer advantages, but are not always necessary. Alternatively, a modularised monolith can be useful, especially if the boundaries between microservices are fluid. In this blog post, I will discuss modularisation concepts in the Java ecosystem, with a focus on Spring Modulith.

The energy transition in Germany and Europe poses major challenges for the electricity grid, as renewable energies are dependent on the weather and lead to fluctuations in feed-in. In this blog post, I examine whether Bitcoin mining can help stabilise the grid as a flexible load by using times of energy surplus and shutting down quickly when needed.

This blog post was written as part of the GenAI Solutioning Unit. In it, we show that there are various ways to specialise a language model on a domain-specific basis. This is important for advising our customers and is aimed at anyone interested in GenAI.

In modern data processing, companies are faced with the challenge of choosing the right database technology for their specific requirements. PostgreSQL and Databricks are two widely used solutions, each with their own strengths. In this blog post, I will highlight the differences between PostgreSQL and Databricks, analyse their respective advantages and disadvantages and give specific use cases that justify a switch to Databricks.

Demographic change is challenging the German care system. Politicians and associations are looking for funding models and technological progress is offering new care concepts. The aim is to use apps and wearables to improve the independence and quality of life of people in need of care and relieve the burden on relatives. We show how this works in our blog post.
