Machine Learning model that leverages social data to match the right candidates for an open role

The Problem

How could recruiters use social data to get the best candidates for an open role? Instead of relying exclusively on resumes.

Our Solution

We built a Machine Learning model that matches the right candidates to the right job using not just their resumes, but also social data and a number of other parameters such as GitHub activity, LinkedIn recommendations, etc. The same matching algorithm is also used to find ideal jobs for candidates.

The application was completely responsive across desktops, tablets and mobile devices. React (Virtual DOM, Partial Rendering, One Direction Data Flow etc.) was used to mitigate the latency issues with third-party data sources.

Credit cards and auto loan origination for an under-served population

The Problem

An innovative finance company in the US wanted to launch new products like credit card and auto loans to individuals with little or no credit history. They wanted origination and servicing applications, a rapid Go-to-Market (GTM) was essential.

Our Solution

Our in-house design studio worked with the client’s marketing team to design an intuitive system that maximized lead conversions.  We used the latest tech stack (Angular 8 and Ionic) to develop a Progressive Web Application that was responsive, personalized and provided multilingual support (English and Spanish). A highly scalable, cloud-based, microservices solution was built on a DevOps environment that aided quick iterations to market.

Distributed Supercomputer using Blockchain and Machine Learning

The Problem

Build a distributed supercomputer that incentivizes users for providing the hardware for computation, without the risk of fraud.

Our Solution

We built a Distributed Supercomputer where any computer on the internet running Windows, Mac or Linux could serve as a node. The nodes that are used for distributed computing are clustered using the Expectation-Maximization algorithm which buckets similar nodes into a cluster.

The assignment of a node for doing a computational task is done using a multi-arm bandit simulation. Financial settlements are done using Nebulas, a third-generation blockchain.

For managing jobs, three different schedulers were considered – Kubernetes, Nomad, and Docker Swarm. Finally, Nomad was chosen as it requires no external services for saving its state and stores it on the master node itself. Additionally, it is a single binary that acts both as the master node and the client.

Design Thinking led product strategy to increase user engagement

The Problem

KissCam’s previous mobile app was not getting enough engagement with users. The app allowed users to capture photos and apply overlays to resemble kiss cam segments in US’ stadium sports events.

Our Solution

We felt that the app was missing out on several potential use-cases and approaches that would boost their customer base and engagement levels. We brainstormed with the client and arrived at multiple use-cases; ultimately narrowing it down to the following:

  • Event listing and contest feature
  • Family-friendly portrayal of KissCam
  • Voting on their favorite entries
  • Event notifications

Using conversational UX and human-centered design for the bottom of the pyramid

The Problem

Chilasa is a non-profit organization. They wanted a mobile app to help rural carpenters negotiate quotes and receive orders from city-based merchants. The catch? The carpenters were semi-literate and had only used messaging apps like WhatsApp.

Our Solution

We used Conversational UX to solve the problem. Carpenters received work inquiries as chat conversations where pricing could be negotiated, orders could be accepted or rejected, and progress updates could be shared effortlessly.

Startup – Design UX/UI

Improving reporting performance by over 90X

The Problem

A healthcare technology provider took an average of 15 minutes to generate patient reports, because of the massive amounts of data (8B+ records). They were using Amazon RDS. This was leading to long wait times and directly impacting customer satisfaction.

Our Solution

We reduced the average report generation time of a healthcare company to 10 seconds, this a 90X performance improvement despite reducing the number of RDS instances by 20%.

To do this, we first identified the performance bottlenecks in the current system using AppDynamics. Then we re-architected the data replication strategy. We optimized encryption/decryption process without compromising on HIPAA compliance. We also made several improvements by implementing real-time data syncing using Kinesis, SQS & MySQL binlog reader.

Collaborative lead tracking for an automobile manufacturer

The Problem

An automobile company wanted to track sales leads and conversion rates across the manufacturer, dealer and financier networks.

Technical Challenges

A considerable number of dealers were based in rural locations of developing countries. They had very poor internet and mobile connectivity.

Our Solution

A mobile app was developed for the dealer in React Native while the manufacturer and financier web applications were developed in React. Isolation of component rendering from API calls was done to ensure fault-tolerance even in low-speed 2G networks. Multi-language support was provided through Internationalization (i18n).

Enterprise – Architecture, Design UX/UI

Gamified platform that delivers extreme performance and scalability using microservices architecture

The Problem

KissCam wanted to build a highly engaging and gamified platform for conducting photo contests at sports arenas and large events during breaks. Users can click photos or shoot videos, quickly add one of the many frames available in the app and post to social media. Other users then vote and select a winner.

Technical Challenges

Since the action happens suddenly in just a few minutes of a game, the server-side needed extreme performance and scalability.

Our Solution

Android and iOS apps used image optimization and resolution based photo uploads. We used microservices to scale each service individually. We also implemented auto-scaling in AWS ECS to scale the application without any downtime. Performance tuning was done for scaling the application to handle huge and sudden loads. We also built a cloud storage platform for KissCam users to store media files and scaled the application to support huge arenas to the tune of 50K simultaneous users.

Intelligent B2B prospecting

The Problem

There has been an explosion of retail companies built around products like Shopify. However, it is very hard to sell to these companies as there is no public data available around these companies.

Our Solution

The system we have built has collected over 5 million company names and 8 million contacts. We continue to add 10,000 data daily and we are looking to reach 1 billion data points (which is about 30 million companies) in the next 6 months.

Firm-specific data from several disparate sources is first collected. An ETL process with NLP techniques is used to normalize the data to a unified company and person profile. A recommendation algorithm predicts and recommends the companies that fulfill our targeting criteria. To get sales folks to use it, we ensured the UI was simple, powerful, and fast. We chose React + Flux. We introduced messaging-based interactions instead of forms where possible.

Location tracking of services rendered for fraud prevention

The Problem

A fast and easy-to-use mobile app for field personnel to validate their service visits.

Our Solution

We used Angular.js and jQuery to develop a mobile app with a responsive UI, so that field teams could also use it on a tab. OpenStreetMap (OSM) was used for mapping core data because it’s free and is used by the likes of Foursquare and Evernote. For mobile-friendly interactive maps, we chose Leaflet as it is lightweight and fast.

Mobile-delivered workouts

The Problem

Build a platform that allows both iOS and Android apps with minimal changes.

Our Solution

Power 20 follows a single pattern across its 14 different applications. The application has been built from ground-up to work with data from the server without any local setting. A single codebase/package is compiled and deployed with different configurations to enable 14 applications per platform for a total of 28 applications on iOS and Android.

Any new applications can be added by only including a configuration file on the server and making the configuration change on the app. Images and media explain the routines and are widely used across the applications. SDWebImage on iOS and Picassa on Android are used for efficient and intelligent media consumption to ensure the least runtime memory footprint. This, along with AFNetworking on iOS and Volley on Android, provide a robust HTTP request mechanism.

Exclusive access to live events from mobile camera feeds

The Problem

The client wanted an app that could be be used by an audience to stream camera feeds from live events, so that online viewers could watch the event from unique angles.

Our Solution

This had several challenges.

  • Choosing the right backend server and rendering engine for the Android platform.
  • Rigorous memory management techniques to ensure the best possible stream quality.
  • Working on Bare Metal Android Canvas code to efficiently handle the incoming video feed.
  • Intelligent switching between supported protocols (RTSP, RDP and HTTP/HTTPS) based on the connection type (LAN, WAN).
  • Handling network switching scenarios and high latency use cases.
  • Some video feeds had four videos stitched together. Slicing of individual videos in such cases had to be done quickly and efficiently.

After considering several streaming and content rendering engines, we finally fixed chose Android Streaming API for implementation. The API had a plethora of features and support for both Android SurfaceView and Bare Metal OpenGL rending canvas for future scaling.

We also built a robust asynchronous HTTP request component based on the Android Volley library to achieve reliable communication between EventStream REST services and the Mobile Endpoint.

Productivity and event scheduling app

The Problem

Calendar apps rarely have any other function, while productivity apps do not have the features to carry out several kinds of tasks..

Our Solution

This app gives users the options to schedule their day, share daily plans, organize events like birthday and promotion parties, invite friends, conduct polls, and chat within a group. They can also sync their entire list of Google, Yahoo, and Group Agendas calendars and keep a tab on all future events.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) for discovering enterprise events

The Problem

Large enterprises need a way to keep track of all the events across their IT ecosystem.

Our Solution

Interesting enterprise events happening all across your IT ecosystem are converted into a live stream of events organized around Topics. Real-time analytics engines take action on these events like intelligent routing. For UX, we leveraged the principle of 20% of actions are performed 80% of the time. We enable this 80% via messaging, we built a Slack-like front-end using Angular.js and jQuery.

Generating audience analytics for a multichannel YouTube network

The Problem

Our client had around 200 YouTube channels that covered 3 brands. They wanted to track over 2000 such brands for which only shallow data was available.

Our Solution

We crawled millions of records to fetch data on audience analytics, with cross-linked data from G+ & Facebook. We then used Coefficient Correlation and Linear Regression to deliver analytics for 2000+ brands, using videos that covered just 3 brands.

Startup – AI/ML, Architecture

Modelling and visualization of Credit Default and Interest Rate Swaps

The Problem

The client wanted a unified interface to view Credit Default and Interest Rate Swap analytics.

Determining clinical events timeline from a Doctor’s notes using Natural Language Processing

The Problem

Many medical events are buried in the notes made by doctors in multiple documents, with many of them having only partial descriptions. As a result, the timeline of significant clinical events is not easily determinable.

Our Solution

We identified medically significant events like ‘infections’, ‘antibiotics’, ‘surgery’, ‘x-ray’, ‘lab test’, and more. We then leveraged NLP to arrive at the occurrence time of significant events by identifying temporal expressions like ‘today’, ‘two weeks ago’, etc., extracted from the multiple documents and correlated them with the date of document creation. We then stored this data in a structured repository for easy retrieval to construct the timeline graph of the significant clinical events.

Improve the prediction of losses due to mortgage delinquency using Machine Learning and Augmenting Customer Data

The Problem

Accurately predict losses due to mortgage delinquency using available data points.

Our Solution

A popular short term lending portal empowers mortgage brokers to compete with banks and large retail lenders, by providing predictive technology and tools. Its CoreLogic model predicts pre-payments and loan defaults. We did the segmentation to increase the accuracy to predict delinquency of a loan using credit bureau data, customer transaction data, and customer behavior data. A GBM model was built to predict the front-end debt-to-income ratio (FEDT), which is key for predictive delinquency.  Further, we experimented with 160 variations of GBM models with Machine Learning techniques using the Caret package. Various visualizations were also done to compare the actual data set and the predicted data set.

Simple, patient-friendly clinical narratives with Natural Language Processing (NLP)

The Problem

Doctors and Medical Specialists use domain-specific vocabulary in their clinical narratives to ensure preciseness, this is required for other practitioners. Patients too want to understand their health condition, diagnosis and prognosis; but find their clinical narratives intimidating and difficult to understand.

Our Solution

We created a dictionary of medical terms and abbreviations from existing documentation for specific domains in healthcare. We then parsed the clinical narratives and used Natural Language Processing to ensure the grammatical correctness of the simplified narrative.

Using Deep Learning to help consumers get the best deals from local stores

The Problem

It is very laborious for shoppers to find the best price of a product from the various online and physical stores, as each of them price the same product differently.

Our Solution

Data Science was used to track, predict, and forecast prices based on various factors. We built an application in Ruby on Rails that lets shoppers pick the best prices for products from highly popular Australian stores, such as Coles and Woolworths. The app delivered great user experience by leveraging React for the web and React Native for mobile. We also designed a search algorithm to scan product catalogs using Word2vec Deep Learning neural network and identified the cheapest product by geo-location.

Further, we simplified purchase decisions by comparing prices across brands, regions, and retail branches by predicting a product’s price (using logistic regression models) for the next 30 days. The shopping application also presented actionable insights using D3.js for visualization.

Reducing patient readmission risk with Machine Learning

The Problem

Hospitals are liable for penalties if the 30-day readmission rate crosses a specified threshold for a particular clinical condition.

Our Solution

We analyzed the past patient history of readmissions. Then, we clustered patients based on clinical, social, and behavioral factors like associated clinical conditions, age, gender, weight, lifestyle, ethnicity, economic indicators, geography, etc. With this data, we derived a Machine Learning model to predict the risk of readmission for a patient. Finally, we tested the model on the testing data set, fine-tuned it for accuracy, and successfully ran it across new patients.

Enterprise – AI/ML

Cloud security by detecting event log anomalies using Machine Learning

The Problem

A cloud security provider wanted to detect anomalies and abnormal peaks in outbound traffic.

Our Solution

We set up a continuous feed of raw data logs, using AWS Kinesis from AWS CloudTrail. Data were then grouped by Time, Usertype, and Logtype into multiple batches. From these batches, variables were generated to be fed into a Machine Learning model that predicted if the data entry was an anomaly, using logistic regression.

Startup – AI/ML, Cloud

Identification of fake social profiles by analyzing terabytes of social networking data

The Problem

To determine the authenticity of a social profile.

Our Solution

The client provides a social identifier, a free web identity credential controlled by the user. We designed and implemented an algorithm (based on research from Stanford University) on Hadoop using PIG, to evaluate the authenticity of an individual’s profile attributes. We also implemented various fraud detection and prevention solutions with viral social features to enable users to leverage their social graph, to add to their assert score.

IdeaCrawler is a blazing fast, highly effective, flexible client-server crawling framework written in Go. We built it to perform certain tasks better than existing crawlers. Based on the tests we conducted, we found that our crawler outperformed Scrapy and several other alternatives, many times over.

In addition to the features you would expect from a regular crawling library, IdeaCrawler makes it very easy to do things like scaling across machines, crawling through VPNs, using cookies, using Chrome as a crawling backend, etc. It was written to act as a layer on top of a regular crawling library, with a lot of pre-written glue code.

This framework also allows users to isolate crawling to a dedicated cluster, while still being controlled from a central location.

We used the open-source FormIO plugin for dynamically generating forms in an application. While using FormIO for file uploads, we faced a limitation; we were unable to send in custom headers as part of the request URL.

There were hacky workarounds to solve this issue in the backend. But, the ability to use custom headers is a common use case. So we requested FormIO to have an optional configuration wherein custom headers could be keyed in as a JSON. We also raised a Pull Request with changes and it was accepted and merged by the FormIO team. Thanks to this, coders can now add custom headers to URL requests in FormIO, using this new optional configuration.

Our client is a non-profit research institute at a leading US University. They have developed a series of interventions aimed at closing the educational gap between families at both ends of the socioeconomic spectrum.

The institute traditionally delivered these interventions face-to-face, either in a hospital or classroom setting. However, COVID-19 made it imperative for them to be able to deliver content to parents and caregivers remotely. We initially tried delivering these interventions over Zoom, but both parents and facilitators found it difficult to manage several applications simultaneously.

We partnered with Ideas2IT to build a custom remote classroom platform that allowed facilitators to deliver educational content to parents of children 0 to 5 years of age. The platform was designed to integrate a number of collaboration tools – such as video, chat, presentations and surveys into a single view. This ensured the parents and facilitators wouldn’t need to manage multiple applications during a call, allowing them to  focus on the conversation and educational content being delivered.

I appreciate the thoroughness and dedication that the team put into this project. The remote classroom tool performs well in all operating systems and browsers, even when there is limited bandwidth, which is common for our target user demographic.

Thanks to our partnership with Ideas2IT, the University is able to work with local communities to make a positive impact on child development. Based on our experience working with the team, I would certainly recommend Ideas2IT.

FEGO is India’s first Intelligent Open-Finance platform. With just a 2-line Product Vision brief, Team Ideas2T built 3 world-class Open Finance product lines in under 8 months. This is remarkable.

FEGO is India’s first Intelligent Open-Finance platform. FEGO empowers consumer-facing entities like Banks, NBFCs, Financial Institutions, and Consumer Internet Companies to gather actionable, behavioral insights about their users from aggregated banking & financial transactions. These insights help service providers contextually engage their end-users in real-time via insightful and hyper-personalized financial experiences, as part of their customer journeys.

Open Finance is a very new space in India with regulations and we needed a new-age technology partner to build our product stack. When we approached Ideas2IT for the development of our products, we gave them a high-level product vision in just a couple of lines. The team at Ideas2IT went ahead with their own research, handled all the nitty-gritty and the regulatory mandates in the space. It felt like working with an internal wing that had a lot of dedication and involvement. And that allowed us to focus on our business and freed up our bandwidths. This is a highly innovation-led project and they developed lots of rapid prototypes of Proof of Concepts. 

So in partnership with Ideas2IT, we have built three world-class independent product lines in just under 8 months. This is remarkable. And our products can sit on top of any Open Banking pipe or any aggregator here in India or globally like Plaid, Salt Edge, and Tink.

We can currently access the accounts of four major banks in India. And with our Data Enrichment integration, 82% of these transactions can now be categorized. Over time, this number will only keep growing bigger and bigger.  

We have found a brilliant long-term product development partner in Ideas2IT. What makes all of it come together is the level of integrity they display, which helps foster collaboration trust. We certainly are going to be working with Ideas2IT for a long time.

Ideas2IT feels like a Silicon Valley company with product mindsets, innovation, and urgency through and through. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ideas2IT for even the most complex of engagements.

On being introduced to Ideas2IT in 2014, my first impression was that they were very different from the typical offshore and Indian services companies. It was clear that they were a company that had a culture of invention and creativity.

Before I committed to Ideas2IT I had them participate in a prototype building “bake-off” with other similarly profiled companies. Ideas2IT shone above the others for their product innovation, scrappiness, and sensitivity to being cost-effective. They genuinely seem to enjoy their work and were deeply interested in the impact of the solution that they’d be building.

Ideas2IT has an impressive depth and breadth of portfolio projects such that when I have a need for a new project to be executed on they are almost always able to share relevant past experiences. They are truly a company that embraces technical innovation while having a heavy bias towards product delivery. I always feel comfortable that they will get the hard job done, and when there were project challenges they stood by their commitment, even if they took a hit on their profitability. They are trustworthy and dependable and that matters a great deal to me.

Ideas2IT feels like a Silicon Valley company with product mindsets, innovation, and urgency through and through. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ideas2IT for even the most complex of engagements.

Cofounder and CTO, Intrigo Systems (acquired by Accenture)

Read more of Santosh Kumar’s experience with Ideas2IT

We started working with Ideas2IT after we acquired another company. Ideas2IT was working with that company.

Around the time we started working with Ideas2IT we had also worked with one publicly listed software company, one software company from Pune, two boutique firms from Bangalore, and our own delivery organization. The publicly listed company had the architectural skills but never took the time to understand what we were trying to solve. They could not put themselves in our shoes. They were more focused on their billing. The smaller companies had no thought leadership. They also had no real architect on the team. In pockets, they had the architectural capability but could not scale well. The rest of the organizations were in between.

When we first started working with Ideas2IT we realized that the company had genuine architectural capability, it was not just another offshore company. Ideas2IT is very good. Their engineering capabilities are very good. The team is creative and at the technical cutting edge. They have explored all the relevant technologies. They are also very committed, transparent, and trustworthy. They are very much interested in the success of the product and go to market.

If I were to use one phrase to describe them it would be ‘Trusted Partner’. They are with you on the journey. They show leadership and bring up issues way ahead. There were no surprises over 8-9 years when we worked with them.

Overall we would rate Ideas2IT a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. We did not find any organization comparable to Ideas2IT but found a couple of individuals with comparable abilities in the US. We would work with them any day.

I have been working with a team from Ideas2IT for a number of years on a very large, complex project. The project is a back-office system, with various kinds of users, multiple front-ends, and a database of over 900 data fields spread across over 80 tables. The system was implemented successfully and efficiently.

I worked with a colleague in the UK on the design and core parts of the system. However, I wanted to outsource the rest of the development and support to a company large enough to take on the ongoing development and operation of such a system. I interviewed companies in the UK, Eastern Europe, and India and eventually chose Ideas2IT. They were the only company who were willing to work on a sufficiently flexible basis and reasonable cost, such that I felt the project was viable.

All the work carried out by Ideas2IT was done remotely. So, the communication between the teams had to be excellent at all times. The entire team at Ideas2IT was always helpful while trying to sort out any problems arising in a positive way.

The team varied in number, with more than ten staff working on the project in various roles, including project management, senior and junior development.

A wide range of technologies was used. Ideas2IT helped to suggest the use of certain technologies and invested in staff learning these technologies so as to be ready to work on the project at short notice.

My experience of working with the team was both successful and enjoyable and I  recommend Ideas2IT as an excellent partner of choice for major software projects.

About Us

 

We are an energetic team of software engineers. And our impact far exceeds our size. We work with passionate innovators in startups and enterprises.

Passion for the craft

Ideas2IT started in 2009 in Silicon Valley as a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) consulting firm. Our founder, Murali Vivekanandan would serve as the CTO for some of his former coworkers. They were ex-Googlers.

They had good ideas and were from the business side. They wanted a technology leader in their team. As their CTO, Murali tried to outsource the technology to various software companies. He tried within the US and also offshore. This did not work. Most of these firms wanted all the details upfront. Later it became all about scope management. The quality was also average.

Murali then realized that building innovative products requires a radically different DNA. First, it requires a world-class team with a passion for the craft. Second, it requires excellent architecture skills and a solution-oriented mindset. Ideas2IT pivoted to solve this problem and started with a handpicked team of 6 engineers.

Product Co-creation

Startup founders were the first customers. Startups were often lean and scrappy. They wanted a company that had a product and innovation mindset. And an ability to think in their shoes.

They wanted Ideas2IT to take a broad vision and build a product with very little help. One customer led to another and we have so far successfully helped over 75+ SaaS and consumer startups.

We have also incubated several VC-funded product companies.

Digital Innovation

Seeing our work with startups, many enterprises come to us. They come to us for similar reasons. They want help on their digital innovation initiatives. These often involve bleeding-edge technologies.

They tell us that their current software partners don’t have the DNA for innovation. Sometimes their current partners are a bit too big and bureaucratic. To overcome this, some enterprises tell us how they tried out boutique software companies. They found them to be small and fragile.

They wanted a partner with the right balance. They also wanted the partner to be transparent and trustworthy. This is where they often find a perfect match with Ideas2IT.

Our clients tell us that our teams are special. They find rare technical depth, passion and creativity in our team. They come to us for the balance but are blown away by the technical expertise and creativity.

4Is

framework

How do we nurture technical excellence and creativity?

It starts from the hiring process itself. Strange as it may sound, we hire for aptitude over technical skills. How do we assess aptitude? We use a homegrown 4Is framework:

4Is

framework
Intensity to be self-motivated and never give up
Intelligence for problem solving, learning and upskilling
Imagination to overcome challenges with out-of-the-box approaches
Integrity that leads to trust, the foundation of any team

Once hired, our employees participate in numerous hackathons and technology meetups. They get exposure to new technologies through tech talks. They even pitch new business ideas on an inhouse shark tank. Employees seem to love all this. The attrition rate is less than 5%. Employees give us a 4.5 out of 5 on the anonymous glassdoor rating. Many well-known technology companies don’t match this rating.

Next

steps

Can we help you?

Our best customers, for whom we achieve the best results, are very knowledgeable about software development. Most of them have their own software development or innovation centers in the US and India. They are perfectly capable of building their software themselves. They choose to work with us for a variety of reasons, ranging from speed, time, value for money, to a desire for the best possible results, not just good enough results.

So, here are a few questions to help you firm up your next steps:

Next

steps

Are you looking to build a great product or service?

Do you foresee technical challenges?

Is just good enough, not okay for you?

Do you want to work with world-class software engineers?

Do you want a passionate, committed and creative team?

If you answered yes to the above questions, then you must talk to us. We take up only those projects that are in our area of expertise. We know what we are good at and more importantly in what we are not. We carefully choose projects where we strongly believe that we can add value. And not just in engineering but also in terms of how well we understand the domain. For instance, we were asked to develop a massively multiplayer online game. It was a very interesting technical challenge, that could have been right up our alley. But, we turned it down because we don’t understand gaming nor have a passion for it.

So, if we think we cannot excel at what you are looking for, then we will tell you right away. Also, we will not bother you later on with pesky phone calls or emails.

Sometimes the team size you require may exceed our growth plans for the year. We have been growing at an average of about 25% every year. But, in a given year we prefer to grow at less than 40%. This is to maintain our culture and technical depth. In this case, as well, we may tell you that we cannot take up your project.

If you have not yet seen what we have done in the past, then you can visit our work page. If you want to know how we can help you with a specific project, then you can email us or you could even chat or talk to us right away via the chatbot on this page. If you choose to set up a time to talk, we assure you that your 30 minutes will not be wasted.

 

 

Giving back to society is integral to us. We believe in getting involved at a deeper level, rather than limiting ourselves to writing cheques for charitable causes. And the Ideas2IT Foundation is our CSR platform that enables us to do just that.

August 12, 2021 – Fortune & YourStory: Inc. 5000 ranks Dallas based Ideas2IT Technologies, amongst America’s fastest-growing companies

Online Portal

Fortune, YourStory

Inc. 5000 ranks Dallas based Ideas2IT Technologies, amongst America’s fastest-growing companies

“Even in an evolved IT Services landscape, it’s not very hard to differentiate between those pushing the boundaries in technology and those pushing headcount,” says Gayathri Vivekanandan, the CEO at Ideas2IT Technologies, Dallas, US.

Murali Vivekanandan, the Founder of Ideas2IT quit Google in 2008 and offered CTO consulting to several ex-Googlers like himself. When he outsourced the product development to various software development companies, the gap in business thinking and engineering quality became evident. It was to bridge this gap, that he founded Ideas2IT.

The Dallas-based custom software company works typically on innovation-led projects. The projects involve unique software development or product engineering, It could be building an AI-powered technology backbone for a social media giant to monitor hate speeches and anti-religious sentiments. Or analyzing patients’ genealogy data to improve the efficacy of cancer treatments for a Fortune 500 company. Or leveraging Open Banking to help financial institutions get a comprehensive view of their customers.

The clients are a healthy mix of enterprises like Facebook, Microsoft, Oracle, Zynga, and startups. Ideas2IT bets big on emerging technologies like AI-ML, Cloud-Native, Blockchain, IIoT, and the likes.

Ideas2IT offers deep expertise in:

  • Product/custom software engineering
  • Application modernization
  • Predictive analytics
  • Document comprehension by leveraging AI-ML
  • Data engineering (integration, pipelines, lakes, warehouses)
  • Analytics & visualization
  • Data cloud using Snowflake
  • Cloud migration
  • Frontend modernization
  • Mobile app development
  • Wearables app development
  • Compliance Services (like HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC2)

The company’s workforce loves to dabble with new technology and create self-funded PoCs. So Ideas2IT upskills its Ideators (that’s what the company’s employees are called) frequently on the latest tech stacks.

What is the Inc. 5000?

The Inc. 5000 ranks companies by overall revenue growth over a three-year period. All 5,000 honoree companies are individually profiled on Inc.com. Today, the list is a distinguished editorial award, a celebration of innovation, a network of entrepreneurial leaders, and an effective public relations showcase. Inc. 5000 gives readers a deeper, richer understanding of the entrepreneurial landscape while capturing a broader spectrum of success.

July 6, 2021 – Express Healthcare: Designing and implementing an HIS/EMR platform for Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital

Magazine

Express Healthcare

Designing and implementing an HIS/EMR
platform for Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital

A case study on how Ideas2IT, a product engineering firm based in Chennai, designed and implemented Ideamed, a comprehensive and HIS/EMR product at eyecare player Dr Agarwal’s 90+ hospitals across India and 11 countries in Africa, handling complexities arising from differing currencies, tax regulations and compliance requirements, to catalogue the landscape of applications and data flow requirements.

Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital was founded by Padma Bhushan awardee late Dr. Jaiveer Agarwal and his wife Dr Tahira Agarwal in Chennai, India, in 1957. Over the last six decades, the group has reportedly grown into one of the largest network of eye-care centres in India and Africa, in addition to Mauritius. Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospitals are also present across 10 states of India, with the flagship centres at Chennai. Over the last five years, Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospitals has expanded rapidly into new geographies and new countries – both through greenfield ventures as well as mergers and acquisitions, backed by a strong management team, marquee investors and the vision of the founders and the promoters. Headquartered in India and the US, Ideas2IT was founded in 2009 in Silicon Valley, California. Their team of exceptional software engineers use advanced and new-age technologies such as AI and ML, Cloud Native and IIoT to create innovative products and services for start-ups and enterprises. Ideamed is a comprehensive HIS/EMR built for customisation from the ground up by leveraging a low code platform. It has 32+ modules and 700+ screens to provide all the functionalities required to run a chain of hospitals. Ideamed was implemented at all Dr Agarwal’s 90+ hospitals, with meticulous handling of the complexities arising from differing currencies, tax regulations, and compliance requirements.

The requirement

The implementation of Ideamed at Dr Agarwal’s, required a holistic integration platform that could connect various enterprise systems across its IT landscape, catering to HIS, EMR, Procurement, Financials and more.

The solution

Ideas2IT ran a discovery project to catalogue the landscape of applications and data flow requirements. Based on the derivation from this exercise, the company designed a common integration platform on Mulesoft. Mulesoft was chosen for its robust architecture and support for multiple protocols and integration to the Spring framework.

Financial data

Ideamed HIS was reportedly enhanced to generate transactions relevant to financial ERP and post it to Mule. Mule would then map the HMS JSON to Oracle Netsuite format and proceed to integrate with Netsuite using the Netsuite connector. Using the Quartz Connector in Mule, data requested by the HMS is fetched from the Mule Database at specified time intervals and integration is done with the Netsuite system.

EHR data

As different EMRs supported different standards like HL7, FHIR, EDI, etc., the company leveraged MuleSoft’s Anypoint Connectors to handle HL7 messages by using HL7 MLLP connector to send and receive messages and the HL7 EDI connector to interpret the HL7 message. Given that HL7 is a loosely defined standard and two different implementations of HL7 can represent data differently, Ideas2IT implemented a robust data mapping layer to map the source data format to a source neutral layer (SNL). Then, the SNL was mapped to the canonical data model of the Data Warehouse.

The benefits

The platform reportedly enabled seamless data flow between the various dominant systems in Dr Agarwal’s IT landscape. This led to powerful end-to-end workflows and reporting.

May 14, 2021 – PCQuest: How Clinical Documentation Comprehension works with Spark NLP and scispaCy

Journalist

PCQ Bureau

Human language is relatively complex for machine learning and deep learning algorithms to understand. In order to use it for various applications, the human language must be made comprehensible for the machine. Annotation is a critical part of this, where we associate labels to these texts.

  • Ankan Ghosh, Data Scientist, Ideas2IT

Healthcare is one of the fields that use many text data to develop several domain-specific use cases and applications. Functionalities like extracting clinical entities from text, establishing relations, and mapping of ICD codes, to name a few, are essential for modern healthcare applications.

Machine learning in healthcare has been helping build applications that fulfill these requirements efficiently these texts exist in an unstructured way in clinical notes by physicians, discharge summaries, etc. sometimes most of the vital information in these notes gets neglected and may sometimes be available in the eHR.

To extract these texts and convert them into meaningful information is where the process of clinical data annotation plays an important role. Text Mining (TM) techniques can support curators by automatically detecting complex information, such as interactions between drugs, diseases, and adverse effects. this semantic information supports the quick identification of documents containing information of interest.

Any general annotation technique trained on available corpora of text data fails to identify and understand several technical and domain-specific jargon in these clinical texts. spark NLP for healthcare by John Snow Labs helps solve this problem by creating several state-of-art techniques whereby they train these annotation models on big medical corpora and use it for standard NLP practices like NeR, Question & Answering, entity resolution, etc. On the other hand, scispaCy uses a full spaCy pipeline and models for scientific/biomedical document annotation. Let’s look at them in detail.

Ideas2IT announced their partnership with IN-D.ai to provide seamless Documents to Data to Decisions Automation. When faced with multiple documents, AI and automation tools that enhance decision-making systems are prone to incomplete, inaccurate data and insights, and IN-D is hoping to bridge this gap with its AI-powered product suite.

Artificial Intelligence, and Automation are playing an increasingly important role in enhancing Customer Experience (CX) and bettering Decision Making systems. But IDC studies clearly indicate that in spite of a $550B spend in these areas, an automated process breaks at the sight of a document.

IN-D products understand documents and images, extract the data from them with minimal training, synthesizes it, and feeds it to Decision Making systems. IN-D achieves this with a combination of Computer Vision (CV), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and also leverages Machine Learning / Deep Learning models in specific use cases. With its plug-and-play deployment model, IN-D outdoes other current OCR and Intelligent Document Processing technologies.

Commenting on the partnership, Gayathri Vivekanandan, CEO, Ideas2IT said, “Our technical depth in AI-ML and Computer Vision makes this partnership with IN-D an ideal match. We are already handling multiple projects that leverage these technologies for clients like Facebook, Siemens, and Netsmart. IN-D’s product suite fills the right spots in our automation workflow projects.”

IN-D is rapidly transforming operations across industries like Retail Banking, Insurance, and Enterprise Procure-to-Pay Products. IN-D easily integrates with a broad range of enterprise applications and Orchestration tools to enable processes like KYC (Signature Verification, ID Verification, Facematch), Credit Check (Bank and Financial Statement), Expense Management, Insurance Claim Settlement (Invoice Processing, ICD 10 Coding, CPT Coding, etc.), Audit Controls Testing, Contract Management, and Employee Onboarding.

Sharing thoughts about this partnership, Rahul Chandra, Co-founder & Chief Business Officer, IN-D said, “Key challenges with the adoption of the current AI-based solutions to solve ‘document to data’ problems are the need for large data sets, time, and money for training. IN-D is addressing this through pre-trained, ready-to-deploy AI models for various business processes across industries. We want to keep our focus on developing cognitive solutions and our partnership with Ideas2IT will help us arrive at more creative ways to leverage our product suite”.

April 12, 2021 – TechGig.com: Master these 5 skills to become a top Cloud Developer

Author

Vignesh Gunasekaran, Technical Analyst, Ideas2IT

Cloud developers create applications that are served in the cloud. Their work is similar to software engineers or web engineers, except that Cloud developers make them run on virtual systems. This adds a layer of complication (especially while architecting the systems) for security and efficiency aspects.

In many recent studies, cloud computing has emerged as an essential skill set that companies are seeking. In fact, a NASSCOM report states that the Indian cloud computing market is going to be valued at $7.1 billion by 2022, suggesting a high demand for trained cloud engineers. Here are the five essential skills to build a lucrative career as a cloud developer:

1. Knowledge of Cloud Service Providers: Understand how different cloud service providers work. The most prominent ones are AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google, Alibaba and IBM which offer end-to-end services like compute, storage, databases, ML, migration – just about everything related to cloud computing.

2. Computation and Storage: Depending on its needs, an organization could choose Public Cloud Storage, Private Cloud Storage or Hybrid Cloud Storage. As a cloud developer, it is necessary to know where and how to store data and you must choose the storage based on the type and volume of data the organization wants to store and use. For example, if the data is archived, it is better to hold it in an S3 Glacier than a standard S3 bucket, as it is more expensive to maintain a vast archive in standard storage.

One of the most widely used computation services is the EC2 instance. You should know how to create, login, set up the termination policy, and configure security groups of EC2 instances. By the time you learn this process, you must also be familiar with Containers that offer a logical packaging mechanism where applications can be abstracted from the environment in which they run. It is also essential to have a good understanding of Kubernetes and Docker; how the Docker framework works, store docker images, deploy containers from docker images, etc.

3. Network & Security: Data is unarguably an organization’s greatest asset, and it’s vital to have users at various levels with defined roles to limit access and ensure security from public traffic. As a cloud developer, you must be aware of the security measures specific to the cloud. For instance, if a few S3 buckets are holding sensitive information, not all IAM users in an AWS account should access these S3 buckets. Similarly, if you have your RDS database (database service provided by AWS), it should be accessible to only applications that fetch data from the RDS. Proper VPC should be architected, and network security should be enforced vigorously. Applications should be developed in a manner that while an application bootstraps, the credentials are pulled from those credentials managers and maintained in application memory and not in any file.

Serverless architecture is a more recent concept that helps reduce the overhead of managing servers. Using this, developers need to focus only on coding without worrying about server management and099i OS provisioning. They could use a service like AWS Lambda – and write their code in Java, Python, NodeJS, etc., to achieve their business functionality.

4. Disaster Recovery: For any computing environment, cloud security involves maintaining adequate preventive measures like knowing the data and systems are safe, tracking the current state of security and responding to unexpected events. Many cloud service providers have their disaster recovery measures but many require cloud developers to opt for a disaster recovery policy. For instance, in the case of AWS RDS, you could opt for a multizone availability configuration so that secondary servers automatically take over in case of the primary servers fail, without affecting the business. You could also configure Read Replicas in different regions. In critical applications, you could also configure load autoscaling so that additional servers come into action and help maintain the load.

5. Monitoring and Automation: After the development of an application, go-live issues such as high CPU or memory utilization, application booting, DDOS attacks and insufficient storage, may commonly arise. To overcome these, you will need to set up a robust monitoring process. Cloud service providers have various monitoring services such as CloudWatch logs, CloudTrail, CloudWatch metrics, CloudWatch log groups to provide information about application logs and server metrics. With such services, alarms can be configured to notify whenever the acceptance limit is breached and to take necessary action.

It is also necessary to take automated actions in a cloud system to heal, secure, and optimize the system. CloudWatch not only provides metrics but also offers options to configure automated events. These could be periodic or event-based. By scheduling events, services can be invoked at a specific time, such as automatically starting/stopping servers, backing up of data, scale-up/down of servers, etc.

March 24, 2021 – YourStory.com: One year of lockdown: Learnings from the pandemic and the road ahead for the Indian entrepreneur ecosystem

Journalist

Meha Agarwal

The year 2020 was unprecedented, and one that taught us to think on our feet while all else was changing around us due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we compile snippets from the Indian startup ecosystem who had valuable lessons to share.

At 8 pm on March 24, 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a landmark announcement – a nationwide lockdown for 21 days to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic in the country. The lockdown continued in some form or the other for the next few months, but businesses were never the same.

For many industries, this was a transformative year. In a sink or swim situation, the entrepreneurial spirit truly came through – with many small, medium and big industries finding their own way to pivot and carve a niche.

Healthtech, edtech, fintech, OTT, and foodtech are some of the core sectors to grow at an accelerated pace in the digital startup ecosystem. Whereas travel, tourism, hospitality and related sectors took a direct hit from the chaos that was unleashed globally.

Changes aside, what we did notice was a 360-degree shift in the way entrepreneurs perceived success. From achieving greater maturity and better business models, Indian startups also streamlined revenues and innovations, and as they continue to deal with challenges, Indian startups are playing the role of a catalyst in reviving the country’s economy.

According to YourStory Research’s 2020 Funding Report, Indian startups raised $9.4 billion across 881 deals from around 1,476 active investors in the ecosystem. We have also come across many success stories under YourStory Media’s series Pivot and Persist.

As we approach the first anniversary of the unprecedented lockdown, we reached out to entrepreneurs to learn how the year unfolded for them and understand their key learnings from the days gone by for the day ahead.

Gayathri Vivekanandan, CEO, Ideas2IT: We’ve always placed a premium on our culture, but the pandemic highlighted its importance. In 2020, we achieved a 68 percent revenue jump, and 33 percent growth in people strength. I credit this to our people and the homogeneous work culture that unites them. Though we were working from home last year, we seamlessly collaborated and delivered prestigious projects for clients like Facebook, Medtronic Labs, and Oportun. In the future, we will invest more to filter for culture fit and scale-up without diluting it.

March 8, 2021 – DataQuest: Women’s Day – Interview with Gayathri Vivekanandan, CEO, Ideas2IT

Journalist

Archana Verma

On Women’s Day, Gayathri Vivekanandan, CEO, of Ideas2IT talks to DQ Channels about her work.

How many women do you have in your organization at the senior decision-making level? What is this % as compared to the overall senior decision-making management?

Gayathri – In our organization, 4 out of 7 people are women at the senior decision-making level. The percentage compared to the overall senior decision-making management is 57%.

If you looked beyond these numbers, you would understand that Ideas2IT is a company that is co-founded by a woman leader, Bhavani Raman. While Murali (Founder & Chairman) handled Technology and Sales, it was Bhavani who took care of testing, project delivery, and all the other support functions like Finance, Accounting, HR, Administration, Auditing, and Company Affairs.

So right from the beginning, we have been a company that encouraged women to take up leadership roles.

As the CEO, I oversee the business strategy, client relationships, and expansion plans. I also lead Idea2IT’s delivery teams and numerous support functions. Bhavani has gone ahead to co-found and head element5, a successful spin-off venture from Ideas2IT.

Chitra Annapoorni is another woman leader in the company. She was given the opportunity to start the mobile practice from scratch. And she was given all the support in her mission. Or for that matter, Kalpana Jagdish is another leader who is entrusted with moving the needle on challenging projects.

What role do women play in directing the decision-making process even if they are not at the top?

Gayathri – At Ideas2IT, there is no differentiation created based on gender. But there is a stark difference in the way we operate. People lead to the process. So we have a panel of employees (called the C-Square Committee), who brainstorm on all the operational aspects of the company. This panel consists of employees with varying levels of work experience (from freshers to laterals with 10+ years of experience), and a healthy percentage of women. So in all operational aspects of the company, women do have their say.

In top business matters like strategy, expansion, etc. – the decisions are jointly taken by Gayathri, Bhavani, and Murali.

How easy or difficult is it for the women in your organization to rise to senior positions?

Gayathri  – Very easy. Here is why – at Ideas2IT, people have a plethora of opportunities to upskill – either in a particular technology (Frontend, Backend, Cloud, etc.) or even jump from one technology to another (a Front-end engineer could be trained to become a backend developer, a full stack developer could be trained to become a Data Engineer, and so on). We have numerous examples where people have undergone upskilling programs across a period of 3-4 years and have become Senior Technical Architects.

There are several formal and informal platforms at Ideas2IT for women to demonstrate their talent. Let’s take, for example, the Ideas2IT Shark Tank and Ideas2IT Hackathon. These are platforms for people to share innovative business/product ideas. If the ideas are great and are selected (Gayathri, Chitra, and Kalpana are on the selection committee ), the contributors are given funds and resources to develop or produce the idea.

And then, there is also the Ideas2IT Entrepreneur-in-Residence program (ideas2it.com/eir-programme). You could already be an entrepreneur or one in the making. You could come in with your own deep-tech idea or validate one of the ideas that we have been incubating for a while now. As an EiR candidate, you would receive support to secure VC-funding, develop the product, build the team – basically everything that is required to co-
