In an ever-evolving technological landscape, choosing the right back-end language for web and custom software development is crucial for business success and the viability of the developed software product. At ID AL. Solutions, we firmly believe in the power and relevance of Java and Kotlin in 2024. Here’s why.

Java, established over two decades ago, has stood the test of time, demonstrating remarkable stability and maturity. Its robustness and efficiency make it a preferred choice for enterprise-scale applications. Java’s well-established ecosystem, with a vast array of libraries and frameworks, ensures that we can build highly reliable and secure applications for our clients. Furthermore, our core team has over 6 years of development experience in Java, which has provided us with ample time and knowledge to master all aspects of the language.

Kotlin, a more recent player, has quickly become a favorite due to its modern features and seamless interoperability with Java.

Kotlin’s concise syntax reduces the possibility of code errors, ensuring a higher quality in the final product.

Both Java and Kotlin are backed by strong communities. This means a vast pool of resources, forums, and expert support, crucial for resolving issues swiftly and keeping up with the latest trends and best practices. This community support translates into a more reliable and future-proof technology stack for your business.

For businesses looking to grow, scalability is key. Java and Kotlin excel in building scalable applications, capable of handling increasing loads with ease. Their performance, especially in handling large-scale, complex applications, is unparalleled, making them ideal for businesses that anticipate growth. Another main benefit of Java/Kotlin is that it is platform-independent, meaning that it can run on any operating system. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses that need to develop cross-platform applications.

From web applications to Android mobile apps, Java and Kotlin’s versatility covers a wide spectrum of development needs. This flexibility allows us to tailor solutions that align perfectly with your business requirements, be it in finance, healthcare, e-commerce, or any other sector.

In recent years, Java has shown substantial development within the framework of currently popular functional programming. Since September 2017, new versions of Java have been released every six months, introducing performance improvements, bug fixes, and adding new functionality to the language. By choosing these languages, your business benefits from software solutions that are modern and adaptable to future technological advancements.

At ID AL. Solutions, our commitment to Java and Kotlin is rooted in their proven capability to deliver robust, efficient, and scalable solutions. By leveraging these languages, we ensure that your software not only meets current needs but is also geared for future challenges and opportunities. Let us help you unlock the potential of Java and Kotlin paired with a relevant front-end language for your successful business endeavors.

The Transformative Power of AI

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed from a buzzword into a fundamental tool for businesses across various domains. From global tech giants to local start-ups, the adoption of AI is visible everywhere. The shift from traditional methods to AI-infused operations is no longer a luxury but a necessity for companies that aim to remain competitive and innovative.

The AI Revolution in the Corporate World

Companies worldwide are rapidly integrating AI into their daily operations, and the results are telling. AI-driven automation handles repetitive tasks efficiently, thereby freeing up human resources for more strategic roles. With the capability of processing vast amounts of data in split seconds, AI systems can offer real-time insights, predictive analytics, and even prescriptive recommendations, enabling businesses to make more informed decisions faster.

For instance, Netflix utilizes AI-driven algorithms to recommend shows and movies to users based on their viewing history, personalize thumbnails, predict viewer patterns to determine periods of network traffic congestion in various regions for smart content caching, and forecast user growth rate. This strategy boosts user engagement, retains subscribers, ensures service consistency, and results in an impressive 3.5% churn rate, saving an estimated $1 billion annually.

Similarly, automobile industry giants, like Tesla, are integrating AI to develop autonomous vehicles. AI systems process data from vehicle sensors and make split-second decisions that can help avoid accidents and navigate the road.

In industries like logistics, AI simplifies complex supply chain management, optimizes routes, predicts maintenance needs, and anticipates fluctuations in demand. Forecasts suggest that the industry will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43% in AI adoption, achieving a market value of 6.5 billion USD by 2024. For example, DHL, a leading logistics operator, uses AI for route optimization, predicting package delivery times more accurately by analyzing traffic data, weather patterns, and other variables. Moreover, DHL’s incorporation of Machine Learning algorithms optimizes warehousing for major e-commerce players, mitigating supply issues and augmenting facility productivity by 30% during peak times.

Among these giants, our company ID AL. Solutions is making significant strides with its expertise in full-cycle development of AI and ML-based applications, especially in Logistics and MedTech (FemTech). One of our standout stories is Dr. GyneCom – a groundbreaking AI-driven gynecological initiative. This innovative platform embodies how AI can be leveraged to address pressing healthcare challenges, while also bringing about significant economic benefits.

Dr. GyneCom: Changing the Landscape of Women’s Health

Gynecological health is a concern shared by millions. Traditional methods of detection and treatment can often be invasive, costly, and, most importantly, not timely enough. Despite being a preventable disease, cervical cancer still claims hundreds of thousands of lives each year due to late diagnosis.

Dr. GyneCom aims to change this narrative by enabling timely and regular screening at home. Its AI-driven diagnostic capabilities can detect early signs of cervical cancer with a high level of accuracy, surpassing even seasoned medical professionals in accuracy, and making early intervention possible. The underlying deep learning algorithm swiftly identifies cervical pathologies from colposcopic images with over 90.5% accuracy, offering specific pathology probability estimates exceeding 96.5% based on The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology.

Such a proactive approach to cervical screening has a ripple effect. Early detection not only saves lives but also substantially reduces the financial burden on the healthcare system. The U.S. alone spends around $8 billion annually on cervical cancer treatments. With solutions like Dr. GyneCom, a significant portion of this could be channeled toward preventive measures.

Moreover, our solution is designed to be accessible to women of all ages and income levels. All that the patient will need is a portable cervicoscope we call “Lily”, which is to become the world’s first gynecological device for home use, with a price tag under $50. All the necessary software will come for free. Therefore, by making essential healthcare services universally accessible, we aim to significantly improve women’s global living standards.

This is just one example of our diverse experience working with AI and Machine Learning. As our team continually broadens its expertise, we work across different business domains, striving to provide our clients with high-quality solutions to their business problems using modern and effective approaches. We eagerly await opportunities to share our knowledge and experience with you and take on the implementation of your project regardless of scale and complexity. For those interested in Dr. GyneCom and eager to assist in the upgrowth of this project, thereby contributing to global humanitarian prosperity, we welcome your outreach.

In Conclusion

The integration of AI in daily business operations is not a fleeting trend; it’s the future. From entertainment to e-commerce, transport to healthcare, AI’s footprint is evident. This is why ID AL. Solutions allows its clients to benefit from the transformative power of AI, employed with vision and purpose. As AI continues to evolve and find applications in various sectors, its role in enhancing productivity, saving lives, and driving economic growth becomes ever more pivotal.

Alive And Strong: Ukraine’s IT Sector In 2022

Dmytro Dubynskyi

CEO & Co-founder

5 min read February 10, 2023

It’s no secret that Ukraine is one of the largest and fastest-growing IT job markets in Eastern Europe. Its pool of experts, already numbering over 300,000, is making an impressive contribution to the country’s economic performance – the value of Ukrainian exports of IT services in 2021 grew by a whopping 36% to about $6.8 billion (4% of GDP). These numbers are constantly rising despite the harsh realities of 2022.

At present, the IT market has stabilized and adapted to work in war conditions. On the contrary, IT has become one of the few sectors that fully function and actively participate in the economic and volunteer component of life in Ukraine. Quality, adaptability, and the desire to be useful – are the main reasons why Ukraine remains one of the key specialized centers for software development and support, and ID AL. Solutions is one of the links in this powerful chain, made from the invincible Azov steel.

Markets are exchanging specialists, requirements, and best practices. The difference between the global and Ukrainian markets is disappearing. Ten years ago, Ukrainian IT companies rarely had many foreign clients, but now this is a common norm, or rather a prerequisite, confirming the relevance of the company’s experience.

Clients choose Ukrainians also because our specialists are becoming increasingly competitive in the global market. More and more educational information is becoming available, and more online lectures and conferences are being held in different parts of the world. IT is literally becoming mainstream for the youth of Ukraine, and the competition for the department of Information Technology in our universities or for work in an IT company is increasing exponentially. The information field of Ukrainian and Western styles of business has merged into one whole, despite the kilometers and time zones that separate us.

We are witnessing rather even a reverse trend. Often, it is we who occupy the positions of top technical experts in foreign companies, and our point of view is decisive when choosing a technology stack for a particular project or when solving a particular non-standard task. Of course, such trust must be earned by months, and sometimes even years of impeccable work and the manifestation of professional competence. That is why we strive to constantly expand our “Zeno circles”, moving towards new knowledge in artificial intelligence, reactive programming, the latest design trends, IoT development, and more.

It is worth noting the irresistible desire of Ukrainian IT specialists to work, ignoring all the difficulties of the military situation, from a blackout to the likelihood of an enemy missile hit, from loss of Internet connection to long lines for basic goods. Paradoxically, all the members of our team, like most of the familiar fellow craftsmen, despite all these difficulties, have become even more organized and efficient, discarded bad habits, eradicated waste of time, and abandoned most of the weekends and holidays. After all, the main motivation for us is the work for the benefit of Ukraine, support the economic front, and active volunteering, which is often carried out at the keyboard. Therefore, our specialists first take care of setting up their workspace, buying power generators and charging stations, installing Starlinks and backup communication sources, and only then think about personal safety. To be honest, it is hard to remember the last time our team went down to the shelter as sometimes a fascinating conversation with partners or an interesting task drowns out all the sirens, and we don’t even suspect what is happening around.

Harsh realities have made us more motivated, and total self-organization – more effective. Is war the engine of progress? We don’t believe it, and we never will. This is a terrible, destructive embodiment of weakness and craziness. But the war became another powerful impulse for the development of IT in Ukraine and ID AL. Solutions team has become an integral part of this movement. We would even say the best part, and we are happy to prove it to you.

No matter where in the world you are reading these lines, we are always waiting for your message. Work with Ukraine, work with ID AL. Solutions, conquer new frontiers. Trust us with your technical dream, and we will trust you with our skills, experience, and impeccable results.
