Software Mind

Our data expertise and offer just got a lot stronger! We began 2024 with an acquisition and will end with another. Our latest add-on investment was driven by a desire to increase our data engineering services. By adding to our organization Warsaw-based Core3, a trusted leader in Data Platforms and Analytics, we enhance our team with over 100 specialists whose range of experience supports companies in the insurance, finance, media, logistics, telecom and retail industries. How does this enhance our data capabilities and what increased value can we give clients? Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dC-3wUYZ #SoftwareMind #Core3 #Snowflake #Data #Growth 

This year, our employees once again volunteered to help senior citizens in our local communities. Through our partnership with the association Creative Senior ("Stowarzyszenie Kreatywny Senior w Rzeszowie"), we held workshops on using computer equipment, staying safe on the Internet and using new communication tools, such as WhatsApp or Messenger, so that seniors can stay in touch with their loved ones in the digital world.     It was an opportunity to get to know each other and exchange intergenerational experiences. At Software Mind, we're #actingwithrespect and actively working against technological exclusion. Our input was recognized by all participants – they nominated us for a special award, and we can proudly announce that we’ve been granted the Senior Friendly Workplace certificate.  We’d like to thank all Software Minders that have been involved in this initiative – Patrycja Stemplewska, Tymoteusz Tracz, Kamil Wingert, Wojciech Drozd, Wojciech Bieleń and Anna Smela!

For companies looking to create new revenue streams and integrate emerging technologies, the importance of data cannot be underestimated. The forecasted growth of the Big Data market size from $84 billion USD in 2024 to $103 billion USD in 2027 is just one indicator of how vital data will be to growth strategies. The opportunities presented by a dynamically growing data industry are immense – as are the complexities. This week, General Manager Piotr Jachimczak explains key data engineering concepts and provides practical best practices.

At Software Mind, we care about the cyber security and safety of our clients' data, so we want to ensure that our employees #cravemore and always are up to date with the latest solutions in this area. In early December, our #SoftwareMinders working in the financial sector took part in an our internal hackathon 👨💻 The challenges undertaken during the hackathon consisted of finding and exploiting a vulnerability of a website that had been specially adapted for such a purpose. Participants, working in two teams, used various tools, their knowledge, skills and publicly available information to break various security features and thus score points in CTF (Capture the Flag) mode for their teams. Challenges, exercises and puzzles of varying difficulty and complexity, which were implemented in the used environment, allow to raise both awareness and skills in the broad field of cybersecurity, methods used by hackers and possible ways to secure vulnerabilities. Thanks to Mateusz Mąsior for organization and congrats to the winners Maciej Piątek, Rafal Wilk, Olivier Sokołowski & Piotr Kaduk! 👏 #Oneteam

Spread joy, share a toy! 🌟 This holiday season, we’re spreading joy and building connections through our Global Toys Donation Campaign, making an impact across three regions: ✨ Poland – We’ve been partnering with a local orphanage in Gniew for a few years now, and this year once again we’re collecting and delivering toys and needed assets with care and respect for the unique needs of each kid. ✨ Romania & Moldova – In collaboration with the Concordia Foundation, we’ve made the holiday season magical for 30 children, making their wishes come true with personalized gifts, while honoring local traditions and cultures. ✨ Americas – Working with incredible organizations, we’re sharing the joy of giving and fostering respect for the diversity of the children and families we support. As #actingwithrespect and empathy guides Software Minders in every action, this initiative brings us closer to creating a brighter holiday season for all. Thank you to #SoftwareMinders for making it happen! 

A study by the Consortium for Information and Software Quality (CISQ) estimates that software quality issues cost the U.S. economy $2.41 trillion USD.

Last weekend, our offices in Poland were brimming with holiday cheer as we celebrated St. Nicholas Day together! 🎄 From festive treats to creative workshops and many fun activities, the magic of this special time brought smiles to everyone’s faces. With a holiday playlist setting the perfect cozy atmosphere 🎶, we enjoyed this time spent with our families, friends and colleagues. Children got to channel their creativity in fun crafting sessions, while adults joined in the festive spirit with laughter and games. Of course, no St. Nicholas Day would be complete without a visit from Santa himself. 🎅 It was a heartwarming day filled with laughter and the joy of being together.

Software Mind's Head of Data & AI, Piotr Kalinowski, explains how SLMs work and looks at their business potential. #SmallLanguageModels #SLM #AIinbusiness #SoftwareMind 👉 https://lnkd.in/dqx79a8B
