Generative AI has been everyone’s mind since ChatGPT came on to the scene. But what exactly does this term mean and how is generative AI different from the well-established concepts of machine and deep learning? This blog post takes a general look at AI technologies and highlights the differences that make generative AI so intriguing and promising in an ever-changing world.

The term ‘fixed price’ raises a number of issues in agile development, since the scope should in theory be clearly defined. However, in practice, the requirements are often incomplete and subject to change. This can lead to uncertainty, different interpretations and, if worst comes to worst, the project failing. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at expectation management and the concept of scope. Along with that, we will also explore several requirements engineering methods that allow you to remain on budget and describe possible solutions in cases where your project is at risk of going over budget.

It came as a surprise to many SAP customers in the healthcare sector when SAP announced that it would not be integrating the IS-H solution into S/4HANA, as it presented them with a number of problems. It left them asking: what approach should I take to transform my SAP landscape into a strategic S/4HANA platform? I will answer this question in my blog post where I will also be presenting two transformation approaches – greenfield and selective data transition – in greater detail.

GenAI opens up great opportunities for insurance companies to generate value. Likewise, it is also becoming a key driver of their digital transformation. The rapidly evolving technology can be used to automate and speed up insurance processes and significantly improve the customer experience. From a financial perspective, insurers benefit from GenAI’s ability to more accurately assess risks.

How do you develop a highly available application that is both scalable and easy to maintain in today’s world? In this blog post, I will briefly explore approaches, methods and tools that I believe can be used to achieve this.

AWS DynamoDB is a high-performance NoSQL database service designed to serve as a key-value store. As a fully managed, serverless service, DynamoDB offers a fast, flexible and cost-effective way to store and retrieve data in the cloud. In this blog post, I take a deep dive into the main features, design patterns and best practices relating to DynamoDB.

The world of artificial intelligence is developing at a breathtaking speed, and large language models (LLMs) are at the forefront of this revolution. LLM operationalisation is an essential part of this development and offers companies the opportunity not only to push the boundaries of technology, but also to set new standards for human–machine interaction. We explain why this is the case in our blog post.

Keycloak is an open-source platform for identity and access management (IAM). It offers extensive functions for secure authentication, authorisation and user management for modern applications and services. I will show you in this blog post how a customer number can be implemented as an additional login feature alongside user name and/or e-mail address.

The Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) was finalised at the end of 2023 after intensive negotiations between the European Parliament and the European Council. The debates were characterised by talks on the definition of AI and the categorisation of systems into risk classes. Numerous details were clarified, in particular regarding unacceptable risk (highest risk level) AI systems and high-risk AI systems. National interests and the development of certain technologies played an important role, such as the ban on real-time biometric identification in public spaces and the use of foundation models or generative AI. I will show you in this blog post what the EU AI Act looks like in detail.
