After an intense creative weekend with a huge amount of collaboration and lots of coffee, we are proud to be able to announce the best teams that took part in our very first globalsoft hackathon.&nbsp; But first, let's take a step back and reflect on what made this first event so special. A Challenge Like No Other First globalsoft Hackathon, held on August 30-31, 2024, was much more than a competition. It gathered really bright minds from all parts of the region. With a theme of "Smart City Innovation," participants were challenged to dream up solutions that could genuinely make our cities smarter, safer, and more sustainable. For 48 hours, our headquarters was buzzing with clacking keyboards, flying ideas, and lots of collaboration in real time. What really makes hackathons different, however, is the innovation, skill development, and networking. Participants had an opportunity to think out of the box, learn new technologies, and network with like-minded people while solving real-world problems. It was an avenue to push the envelope on what's possible, and our teams did just that. The Spirit of Competition This was indeed one hackathon that tested the creativity and stamina of the contestants. The competitors were tough, coming from diverse backgrounds and holding different views. Projects ranged from smart traffic management systems to augmented reality applications that brought local landmarks into vivid life. Each project had something different to offer. This made the judges' task of picking out the best really tough. The following themes won: First Place : City Administration &amp; Live Room Second Place: Široki Brijeg's Landmarks AR&nbsp; Third Place: Traffic Jam Detector using Live Camera Feed What's Next? The success of our first hackathon has been nothing but an appetizer for the future. We are already planning an even bigger and better hackathon next year with newer challenges, more participants, and opportunities for even more breakthrough ideas. This weekend has taught us one thing if anything at all: when creativity and collaboration come together, magic will happen. &nbsp;

Discover the highlights and winners of the first-ever globalsoft hackathon. Held in August 2024, this event brought together innovative minds to tackle smart city challenges. Stay tuned for more updates and next year's even bigger event!

Highlights from the First globalsoft Hackathon

First globalsoft Hackathon: Celebrating Innovation and Winners

Hackathons have become a staple in the tech world, serving as center of innovation and creativity. These intense, collaborative events bring together tech enthusiasts from various backgrounds to tackle real-world challenges within a limited timeframe. But what exactly makes hackathons so special?&nbsp;A hackathon is a time-bound event, typically lasting 24 - 48 hours, where individuals or teams work intensively on software projects. The term “hackathon” combines “hack,” referring to exploratory programming, and “marathon,” highlighting the endurance needed to complete such an endeavor.&nbsp;<img src="https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/what_is_hack_20850ab1f6.jpg" alt="what is hack.jpg" srcset="https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/thumbnail_what_is_hack_20850ab1f6.jpg 156w,https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/small_what_is_hack_20850ab1f6.jpg 500w,https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/medium_what_is_hack_20850ab1f6.jpg 750w,https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/large_what_is_hack_20850ab1f6.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1080" height="1080"><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>The Importance of Hackathons</h2><ol><li style="tab-stops:list 36.0pt;">Fostering Innovation: Participants are encouraged to think outside the box, leading to groundbreaking solutions and fresh ideas.</li><li style="tab-stops:list 36.0pt;">Skill Development: Hackathons provide a unique opportunity to learn new technologies, tools, and methodologies in a hands-on environment.</li><li style="tab-stops:list 36.0pt;">Networking: These events bring together a diverse group of people, offering the chance to meet potential collaborators, mentors, and employers.</li><li style="tab-stops:list 36.0pt;">Problem Solving: Real-world challenges are at the heart of hackathons, allowing participants to address pressing issues and create impactful solutions.</li></ol><h2>The Hackathon Experience</h2><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li style="tab-stops:list 36.0pt;">Team Formation: Participants often form teams, combining different skill sets to tackle the challenge at hand.</li><li style="tab-stops:list 36.0pt;">Intense Collaboration: The collaborative nature of hackathons fosters a sense of friendship and collective problem-solving.</li><li style="tab-stops:list 36.0pt;">Mentorship and Workshops: Many hackathons include workshops and mentorship sessions to help participants refine their ideas and skills.</li><li style="tab-stops:list 36.0pt;">Presentations and Judging: At the end of the event, teams present their projects to a panel of judges, receiving feedback and recognition for their efforts.</li></ul>Hackathons often revolve around specific themes, such as sustainability, healthcare, education, or smart cities.

The Magic of Hackathons: Unleashing Innovation and Creativity

Three members of our development team, Ana, Irena, and Monika, went to the .debug conference in Zagreb. This conference, organized by Bug every year, it's the biggest developer event in the region.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1080/1080;" src="https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/Artboard_1_6ca12f269d.jpg" alt="Artboard 1.jpg" srcset="https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/thumbnail_Artboard_1_6ca12f269d.jpg 156w,https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/small_Artboard_1_6ca12f269d.jpg 500w,https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/medium_Artboard_1_6ca12f269d.jpg 750w,https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/large_Artboard_1_6ca12f269d.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1080" height="1080"></figure>&nbsp;The conference had a lot going on: 100 talks by 120 speakers, all spread out across six different tracks. Over two days, our team got to learn about the newest tech trends and hear different stories and experiences from developers everyday life and work. They even took part in masterclasses to learn about special IT themes from experts in Croatia and nearby countries.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1080/1080;" src="https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/Artboard_5_05eae5d827.jpg" alt="Artboard 5.jpg" srcset="https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/thumbnail_Artboard_5_05eae5d827.jpg 156w,https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/small_Artboard_5_05eae5d827.jpg 500w,https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/medium_Artboard_5_05eae5d827.jpg 750w,https://admin.globalsoft.co/uploads/large_Artboard_5_05eae5d827.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1080" height="1080"></figure>&nbsp;When they got back to the office, Ana, Irena, and Monika shared their excitement and insights with the rest of the team. They also shared what they learned and how it's going to help us keep up with the latest tech trends.This trip showed us how important it is to keep learning and staying connected with what's happening in the tech world. Events like .debug are a great way to do just that, and our team can't wait to go back next year! &nbsp;

globalsoft's visit to .debug Conference in Zagreb

Two weeks ago, two of our Project team members, Tomislav and Kristian, set a new internal record for furthest travel - at least for business purposes. They spent 3 days in Newcastle, in the north of England, in a tough but effective workshop with our new partners, Bede Gaming Ltd., along with some of our friends from the Userwerk/DS GmbH group. The trip was blessed with relatively good weather - not too much rain - and the guys managed some free time to check out the sights and attractions of downtown Newcastle.

Prije dva tjedna, dva člana našeg Project teama, Tomislav i Kristian, postavili su novi interni rekord za najdalje putovanje - barem za poslovne potrebe. Proveli su 3 dana u Newcastleu, na sjeveru Engleske, u teškoj, ali efektivnoj radionici sa našim novim partnerima, Bede Gaming Ltd., zajedno s nekoliko kolega iz Userwerka/DS GmbH grupacije. Putovanje je pratilo relativno dobro vrijeme - nije bilo previše kiše - pa su momci uspjeli naći i nešto slobodnog vremena za razgledanje centra Newcastlea.

Last week, .debug, the largest annual developer conference in Croatia, was held in Zagreb. The organizer, Bug, organized a hectic yet fun conference with more than 80 lectures taking place simultaneously in 5 different tracks. Three of our devs, Ante, Tomislav and Jozo, took a trip up north to get a first-hand look at new, cutting-edge tech, make some new acquaintances and even bring back a few goodie bags! The biggest challenge for them was to decide which lectures to attend and which to skip... But in the end they managed to cover a lot of interesting topics, everything from AI to human resource management in IT. They also concluded that we at Globalsoft are advancing with the new trends and are staying up-to-date - who knows, maybe one of us could be a lecturer at one of the next conferences.

Last week, .debug, the largest annual developer conference in Croatia, was held in Zagreb.

Prošli tjedan, .debug, najveća godišnja developerska konferencija u Hrvatskoj, održana je u Zagrebu. Organizator, Bug, organizirao je užurbanu, ali zabavnu konferenciju s više od 80 predavanja koja su se održavala usporedno u 5 različitih staza. Trojica naših developera, Ante, Tomislav i Jozo, uputili su se na sjever da bi dobili pogled iz prve ruke na nove, najmodernije tehnologije, sklopili nova poznanstva, a i vratili se s nekoliko vrećica sponzorskih poklona! Najveći izazov bio im je odlučiti koja predavanja posjetiti, a koja propustiti… ali na kraju su uspjeli pokriti dosta zanimljivih tema, od umjetne inteligencije do upravljanja ljudskim resusrima u IT-u. Također su zaključili da mi u Globalsoftu napredujemo u skladu s trendovima i da smo u tijeku – tko zna, možda bi netko od nas mogao biti predavač na nekoj od sljedećih konferencija.

Global Soft’s business expands and requires new infrastructure. Our headquarters offices in Trnska cesta 146 became too small for all employees. Not only that, we wanted to give a high-standard, modern and functional premises to our staff.!
The plan was rolling on and works were being done in a new location the last half a year and the beginning of the new year coincided with the new office being ready.

Two days ago, our new premises in Ulica pobijenih franjevaca (former Obilazna cesta) 25 were officially opened!

A toast in the office with employees, partners and clients was held, followed by hanging out with dinner and live music.

May the new office bring us even more motivation to deliver you high-quality solutions and enjoy our working day.


Our new premises in Ulica pobijenih franjevaca (former Obilazna cesta) 25 was officially opened!

Das Wachstum von Global Soft erfordert eine neue Infrastruktur. Unser Hauptsitz in der Trnska cesta 146 wurde uns zu klein. Außerdem wollten wir unseren Mitarbeitern ein hochwertiges, modernes und funktionelles Gebäude zur Verfügung stellen.

 

Die Planungen liefen auf Hochtouren und ein Jahr lang wurde an einem neuen Standort gearbeitet, und Anfang des neuen Jahres war das neue Büro fertig.

 

Vor zwei Tagen wurden unsere neuen Räumlichkeiten in der Ulica pobijenih franjevaca(ehemalige Obilazna cesta) 25 offiziell eröffnet!

 

Im Büro wurde mit Mitarbeitern, Partnern und Kunden gefeiert, gefolgt von einem gemütlichen Abendessen und Live-Musik.

 

Möge das neue Büro uns noch mehr Motivation geben, Ihnen hochwertige Lösungen zu liefern und unseren Arbeitstag zu genießen.

Unsere neuen Räumlichkeiten in der Ulica pobijenih franjevaca(ehemalige Obilazna cesta) 25 offiziell eröffnet!

Neues Büro in Široki Brijeg

Posao Global Soft-a širi se i zahtijeva novu infrastrukturu. Uredi naše središnjice u Trnskoj cesti 146 postali su premaleni za sve naše uposlenike. Ne samo to, htjeli smo našem osoblju dati visoko-standardnan, moderan i funkcionalan prostor.

Plan se razvijao i radovi su se izvodili na novoj lokaciji u posljednjih pola godine, a početak ove godine podudario se sa završetkom novog ureda.

Prije dva dana naš prostor u Ulici pobijenih franjevaca (bivša Obilazna cesta) 25 službeno je otvoren!

U uredu je održana zdravica s uposlenicima, partnerima i klijentima, nakon čega je uslijedilo druženje uz večeru i glazbu uživo.

Neka nam novi ured da još više motivacije da proizvodimo visokokvalitetna rješenja i uživamo u svakom radnom danu.

Naš prostor u Ulici pobijenih franjevaca (bivša Obilazna cesta) 25 službeno je otvoren!

One more affirmation of security of our system and products came just at the end of 2022. We obtained ISO 27001:2013 certificate!



ISO/IEC 27001 is the world’s best-known standard for information security management systems (ISMS) and their requirements. Being ISO 27001 compliant confirms we deliver secure products, keep  systems safe from threats and protect information.



Our system had already satisfied a number of ISO 27001 requirements and we worked on the aspects we had yet to satisfy to become completely compliant. The certificate is issued by RIGCERT certification body.



In addition to securing business processes, ISO 27001 compliance is a requirement for products and services in certain countries, which, being present in multiple markets, enables us to satisfy the requirement.



We continue to implement the security requirements in our everyday business, as well as in developing products and services.

One more affirmation of security of our system and products came just at the end of 2022. 

Eine weitere Bestätigung für die Sicherheit unseres Systems und unserer Produkte kam gerade Ende 2022. Wir haben das Zertifikat ISO 27001:2013 erhalten!

 

ISO/IEC 27001 ist die weltweit bekannteste Norm für Managementsysteme für die Informationssicherheit (ISMS) und deren Anforderungen. Die Konformität mit ISO 27001 bestätigt, dass wir sichere Produkte liefern, Systeme vor Bedrohungen schützen und Informationen bewahren.

 

Unser System erfüllte bereits eine Reihe von ISO 27001-Anforderungen, und wir arbeiteten an den Aspekten, die wir noch nicht erfüllt hatten, um die vollständige Konformität zu erreichen. Das Zertifikat wird von der Zertifizierungsstelle RIGCERT ausgestellt.

 

Neben der Sicherung von Geschäftsprozessen ist die Einhaltung von ISO 27001 in bestimmten Ländern eine Voraussetzung für Produkte und Dienstleistungen, und da wir auf mehreren Märkten vertreten sind, können wir diese Anforderung erfüllen.

 

Wir setzen die Sicherheitsanforderungen weiterhin in unserem Tagesgeschäft sowie bei der Entwicklung von Produkten und Dienstleistungen um.

Eine weitere Bestätigung für die Sicherheit unseres Systems und unserer Produkte kam gerade Ende 2022.

ISO 27001 - Zertifikat

Još jedna potvrda sigurnosti našeg sustava i proizvoda stigla je baš na kraju 2022. Dobili smo certifikat ISO 27001:2013!

ISO/IEC 27001 je najpoznatiji svjetski standard za upravljanje sustavima informacijske sigurnosti (information security management systems - ISMS) i njihovim zahtjevima. Usklađenost s ISO 27001 potvrđuje da dostavljamo sigurne proizvode, održavamo sustave sigurnima od prijetnji i štitimo informacije.

Naš sustav već je bio zadovoljavao veliki broj ISO 27001 zahtjeva te smo radili na aspektima koje smo još trebali zadovoljiti da bismo zadovoljili potpunu usklađenost (compliance). Certifikat je izdalo certifikacijsko tijelo RIGCERT.

Uz to što osigurava poslovne procese, ISO 27001 usklađenost zahtjev je koji proizvodi i usluge moraju zadovoljiti u određenim zemljama, što nama, budući da smo prisutni na više tržišta, omogućava da zadovoljimo i taj zahtjev.

Nastavljamo implementirati sigurnosne zahtjeve u našem svakodnevnom poslovanju, kao i u razvoju proizvoda i usluga.

Još jedna potvrda sigurnosti našeg sustava i proizvoda stigla je baš na kraju 2022.
