Digital iQ

SORTING

Arranging data in a way that makes it understandable for humans and speed up data processing is a core task for algorithms.

SEARCHING

In order to work with data, the machine has to find it first, just like humans do. Smart searching algorithms are the base for many applications and platforms.

DECISION MAKING

In many cases algorithms are better in decision making than humans. What humans call experience, is often not more than a stored set of variables. If experience cannot be described in valuables what worth is it then? Decision variables, scenarios, etc… can be part of smart contracts or feed a trading algorithm that performs trades. The advantages of algorithms over human decision making are speed, higher amount of data processing, and more accuracy.

WORKFLOWS

Algorithms can help to automatize workflows. Workflows usually depend on several decisions which again can be taken by an algorithm.

OCR

We know optical character recognition from scanners and Adobe Acrobat. OCR supports 200 languages and is best use for digitalizing text based print documents. iQuantis makes use of existing technologies in order to leverage the existing knowhow for the clients.

ICR

Intelligent character recognition or the recognition of handwriting has similar applications like OCR and is available for 120 languages.
iQuantis makes use of existing technologies in order to leverage the existing knowhow for the clients.

FIELD LEVEL RECOGNITION

This technology understands the hierarchy of fields. It extracts fields from zones. iQuantis would make use of existing technologies in order to leverage the existing knowhow for the clients.

PATTERN RECOGNITION

As opposed to OCR and ICR, pattern recognition finds logic in textual information. This usually involves deep learning where the machine discovers patterns in a much speedier way than humans do. Therefore this technology opens the door for innovation. iQuantis would build a deep learning algorithm which would then be trained with existing input-output pairs in order to discover its own way to come to the same conclusions by itself and thereby increase speed and accuracy.

IMAGE RECOGNITION

Image recognition can be used for quality control, security, autonomous driving, and many other services which until now required human eyes and a human brain to make sense of all optical inputs. GDPR makes the blurring of human images mandatory. Encryption and decryption of human faces or body part pictures are therefore an important application.

IMAGE RETRAINING

Image recognition training usually requires huge amounts of images. TensorFlow, the open AI framework developed by google, offers a repository of already learned images. So new image recognition training does not always have to start from zero.

NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING

Natural language processing (NLP) is an artificial intelligence focussing on the interactions between computers and human languages. This allows speech recognition and output.

WEBBASED SOFTWARE

iQuantis develops software that is independent of operating systems and works in the cloud. Such software is ideal for Saas business models.

DESKTOP PUBLISHING

If desktop publishing still matters, iQuantis is working with frameworks that allow the installation of its software on desktops

INTERNET OF THINGS

More and more applications are working with endpoints that are different from what we casually call computers or IT equipment. Anything that can work with digital data and commands can become an endpoint. iQuantis usually selects endpoints that communicate with open source technologies.

FRONTEND

Frontend programming is the development of interfaces that are designed for human usage. iQuantis started the business with frontend development services.

BACKEND

Backends are systems where users usually need to be registered, and can manipulate data, the display of data and content, etc… Sometimes the interface development for the backend is also referred to as frontend development.

INTEGRATIONS

iQuantis follows an assembling first approach. Whatever already exists in some form will be considered for integrating it into own systems. Only in cases where this approach does not make sense, iQuantis develops the respective feature itself. Therefore integration work is a big bulk of the total work iQuantis is doing.

INTERFACES

When data is exchanged between two different systems, an interface is needed. iQuantis has dedicated interface developers who love the challenge of making two systems talk to each other and exchange information.

PLUGINS & MODULES

Many platforms allow developers to create their own moduls. Eshops are a good example. iQuantis has developed modules and plugins for Wordpress, Magento, and Shopware.

SHOPWARE SHOPS

iQuantis is an official Shopware partner. Having implemented Shopware plugins, APIs, and shops. iQuantis has the knowhow to implement complex shopware solutions and integrate 3rd party or custom made systems with Shopware.

MAGENTO SHOPS

iQuantis has implemented numerous Magento shops, and Magento modules.

WOO COMMERCE SHOPS

Woo Commerce for WordPress can be a good choice for small shops with standard features. iQuantis can implement WooCommerce shops in no time.

CUSTOM SHOPS

Custom Platforms or Saas often require own shopping cart and payment systems. iQuantis usually develops the shop functionality in tandem with the platform.

UX FOR PLATFORMS

In UX design, iQuantis first analyses the user journey together with the client. For the design process, iQuantis follows a rapid prototyping approach that closely involves the client in design decisions. In general, iQuantis stands for clean design that is most user friendly. Form follows function.

UX FOR MICROSITES

Microsites usually serve a sales or information purpose. UX design has to build a bridge between that purpose and the user’s needs.

UX FOR APPS

App design follows different principles than desktop design. App design has to take account of operating system capabilities of smart phones.

UX FOR SOFTWARE

The line between platforms and software becomes more and mode blurred. Modern, webbased software looks like its platform twin.

CUSTOM CODING

If the client just needs to outsource coding work, iQuantis is happy to take over clearly defined tasks or cooperate with the client on an agile base

UPDATING

Updating existing code to match upgrades in the environment is a task that becomes more and more common to iQuantis. In many cases, rebuilding it in a framework that upgrades automatically, is the preferred option.

REBUILDING

Rebuilding older platforms in contemporary technology becomes necessary when the old technology is not supported any more. Security, performance, compatibility, and regulatory compliance are just some reasons for a total rebuild from scratch

REVIEWING

iQuantis performs code reviews for their clients and helps with the technology selection process

GOING DIGITAL

The pressure to go digital in order to become future proof has never been higher. But how? What makes sense? Disruption or small, incremental changes? iQuantis is accompanying businesses along the decision making process. By being an implementation company, iQuantis is careful to align recommendations to what is executable and to what makes direct business sense.

NEW REVENUE STREAMS

Digital should mean more revenue streams, or higher productivity. In each case the goal should be to make the business stronger through digitalization.

DIGITAL BUSINESS MODEL

Going digital in most cases means not just doing things differently but doing different things. It requires a different angle to the business. An outsider view can therefore make the difference.

FUNCTIONAL MODELS

Between digital business model and technical implementation are functional models, describing all the functionionalities based on pre defined features. Functional models are the blueprint for implementation.
