If you’re involved in IT or innovation, you cannot ignore the fact that Python is one of the fastest-growing programming languages in the world. But why is that? And why did we choose Python as one of our programming languages? To answer those questions, some of our experts on the matter will guide you through our story in the [...]

Every year, ACA IT-Solutions organizes an ACA Ship-IT Day. During this day, our team members get the chance to flesh out their innovative ideas from scratch and build up knowledge. Team members organize themselves into teams and work out the idea as much as possible in just one day. In this blog post, we’ll talk about this years’ ACA [...]

Developing a Proof of Concept (POC) is a great way to test if a software solution really is the answer to a customer’s problem before you spend tons of time and money developing the solution. With a very limited budget and in a short span of time, you can create a dry-run of the project and a simplified version of the solution focusing [...]

Over the last few years, digitization and innovation have had an enormous impact on the application landscape. A company’s application architecture used to be relatively simple, but that is no longer the case. Numerous cloud solutions, rented on a monthly basis, now complicate things to the point where it’s no longer obvious which data [...]

Many companies find themselves in a challenging situation. Ever-growing customer expectations and market pace force companies to move faster and respond to changes quicker. However, many companies’ ability to get things done quickly in order to support the ongoing digital transformation is slowed down by the complexity of the technology [...]

When we think of superpowers for people, our mind often jumps to images of superheroes like Superman, Wonderwoman and many others. But what if I told you that, thanks to artificial intelligence, you too can have superpowers? Artificial intelligence (AI) is typically defined as the ability of a machine to perform cognitive functions we [...]

Whether we unlock our phones with facial recognition, shout voice commands to our smart devices from across the room or get served a list of movies we might like… machine learning has in many cases changed our lives for the better. However, as with many great technologies, it has its dark side as well. A major one being the massive, [...]

What’s the ideal store supply level for a product? How can we determine the number of future sales? Is it possible to reduce the number of product deliveries without going out-of-stock? ACA is building an intelligent stock management system for a customer with about 30 retail locations. Between these stores, that customer sells several [...]

Training machine learning models can take up a lot of time if you don’t have the hardware to support it. For instance with neural networks, you need to calculate the addition of every neuron to the total error during the training step. This can result into thousands of calculations per step. Complex models and large datasets can result [...]

In my previous blog post, I emphasized the importance of gathering data. However, in some cases you might not have any suitable data available. You might have raw data, but perhaps it’s unlabeled and unfit for machine learning. If you don’t have the financial resources to label this data, or you don’t have a product like reCAPTCHA to do [...]
