A couple of weeks ago the site http://research.quanbit.com/ was launched. This site is the visible face of an ongoing effort inside Quanbit to progressively broaden our development field and start making room for self-motivated internal development.

So, why do we need a research department? One of the first reasons I can think of is because it enhances creativity. We consider software development as a process that requires a lot of creativity and, as many other things in life, creativity has to be trained and exercised. A research department is a great place for doing that; you can come up with new ideas, discuss them, evaluate their viability and impact, create proofs of concepts and so on. But enhancing creativity is not the only purpose of our research department. During our life as a software company we came across two interesting patterns:

Being a developer that generally finds himself in one of these situations, I know this can be quite frustrating. So we decided to start betting on research and slowly give us the time to show what we do besides customer-driven projects, publish what we develop in-house and how we eat our own dog food or just share some thoughts that we consider are worth writing about. We know it is going to be a slow process and it is going to take time, but we are confident that this will bring new life inside Quanbit and that is why its worth taking the chance.

Last December 5th we presented “Business Opportunities in Latam for UK” in the TechHub London Business Meetup together with BlueVia.

The Meetup was structured in two parts: a first one in which we reviewed the Latam growth and opportunities with main focus on mobile and outsourcing, and a second one in which we exchanged success cases and discussed different alternatives to enter to the Latam technology markets.

This was the first one of a series of cross-country Business Meetups that is going to be organized in the next year.

The Meetup was taken on TechHub, the most important community of tech entrepreneurs in UK founded by Google, Pearson and BlueVia. TechHub counts with a physical space in London, just in the so called ‘Silicon Roundabout’: the Old Street area of London where there is an existing cluster of tech start-ups from across the UK, Europe and the US.

You can get the slides of the presentation at the end of this post, which is also hosted in the Quanbit’s SlideShare profile.

Furthermore , you can follow the comments and news of the Meetup on Twitter under the hashtag #BizMeetup

LATAM Link-up

This month’s Mobile Meetup will be hosted by our sponsor Bluevia and will focus on business opportunities for mobile developers and tech entrepreneurs in Latin America.

The session will take a slightly different angle to previous meetups. It will start with a 45 minute presentation about doing business in LATAM: the market, main mobile communities & their leaders, co-working spaces, incubator initiatives and start-up programs and some of the most useful events in the region. 

This will be followed by an open discussion and we’re hoping to link up with members of the tech community in Buenos Aires for cross-continental questions!

There will also be an opportunity to sign up to a networking site provided by BlueVia to raise your profile and engage with businesses in Latin America (for more details drop an email to sebastian@quanbit.com and almo@bluevia.com)

The Challenge

To build an application that learns of the human-oriented process of reading several formats of paper documents, recognise them according to a customized set of definitions and trigger actions according to a customized business rules.

The Requirements

That application must be developed under:

Highlights of the solution

• High speed of processing with a slight human supervision, had required a super fine-tuning applications usability.
• High volume of documents processing (digitalizations, OCR-ing, recognitions, clasiffication, applications of business rules and storage) demanded an entire suite of tests: from unit tests to stress tests.
• High customization of: document types, concepts definition and business rules.
