🎄 Donation to the “Kinder- und Jugend Arche e.V.” This year, we continued a tradition that is very close to our hearts: giving back at Christmas time. We are delighted to support the Kinder- und Jugend Arche e.V. (@kinder.und.jugend.arche​) with a financial donation, and to bring additional joy to the children in Karlsruhe and Bretten by donating chocolate Advent calendars. The organization supports children between 6 and 14 years old who grow up in socially and financially challenging circumstances and often lack the support they need at home. For several years now, our Advent calendar donation has added a little extra warmth and joy to their December days – and we are grateful to play even a small part in that. The head of the Kinder- und Jugendarche Karlsruhe, Ms. Petra Hergert, shared a touching detail with us from previous years: Many children place their Advent calendar on the desk where they do their homework and study. After finishing their tasks, they reward themselves with a piece of chocolate. 🍫✨ We’re truly happy that we can support the Arche financially and put a smile on the children’s faces with the chocolate. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Arche team for their valuable work and the passion they bring to supporting children wherever they need it – whether through shared meals, learning support, personal development, or donations of food and clothing for their families. We wish the children and the entire team a joyful Advent season! #donation #affairoftheheart #kids #karlsruhe #bretten #arconsis #christmas

On November 25th, we observe the International Day for the Elimination of Femicide and Violence Against Women. Violence against women - including femicide - is still a reality, even at the heart of our society. In 2023, 155 women in Germany were killed by their (ex-)partners. That’s almost one woman every other day losing her life due to intimate partner violence. At arconsis, we stand for respect, equality, and a community free from violence — online, at the workplace, and in everyday life. 🧡 Silence protects the wrong people. If you or someone you know needs help: 📞Hilfetelefon „Gewalt gegen Frauen“ – 08000 116 016 🌐 www.hilfetelefon.de #25November #OrangeTheWorld #StopFemizid #NoMoreViolence #Respect #Equality #arconsisCares

☕ Breakfast Club Our internal soft skill format “Breakfast Club” kicked off another insightful micro-session: this time on handling conversations when your counterpart blocks, avoids, or delays decisions.

From marketing theory to practice – J11 pupils visit arconsis 💡 Two weeks ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming the advanced economics class of the 11th grade from Melanchthon Gymnasium in Bretten to our Karlsruhe office. It was already the fourth visit by pupils from the school - an experience that has become a valued tradition. These visits offer pupils valuable insights into real-world marketing at a tech company, while giving us the opportunity to challenge some of our ideas about employer branding with Gen Z and Alpha digital natives. After a brief introduction to arconsis by Achim, one of our managing partners, and a tour through the office, Martina, Head of Marketing, gave the pupils a deep dive into the marketing world of arconsis: strategic marketing, content creation, social media strategy, and campaign planning. A particular highlight was the interactive workshop on the use of generative AI in marketing. Together with Paul - responsible for video editing at arconsis - the pupils explored genAI tools and created their own content, showcasing their imagination and creativity. Throughout the day, the pupils demonstrated great curiosity and engagement, asking thoughtful questions that led to inspiring discussions. The day concluded with a shared lunch, rounding off the visit in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Knowledge sharing is important to us. We aim to foster it not only in software engineering, but also across other disciplines – including Marketing. By giving young people hands-on insights into the working world early on, we hope to support and inspire the next generation. It’s something we truly care about. A big thank-you to all participants for making this visit possible. We wish the pupils all the best for their Abitur next year and their future careers. And who knows – maybe some of them will return as future team member. 😉 #arconsis #MarketingInPractice #CareerOrientation #Karlsruhe #MelanchthonGymnasium #FutureOfWork #AIMarketing #TechCareers #noplacelikearconsis

@letsdev.de - UX Meetup am 23.07. – „Consumer UX vs. Enterprise UX“ 📱🎯 Auf den ersten Blick scheint alles ähnlich: Menschen bleiben Menschen, Human-Centered Design folgt universellen Prinzipien, und der UX-Prozess – Verstehen, Gestalten, Evaluieren – ist bekannt.

We were there – at the „Entwicklertag Karlsruhe“! 🙌 Adrian and Lars, Software Engineers at arconsis, took the stage with their talk “Secure AI Usage through Local Anonymization of Sensitive Data”, sharing practical insights from real-world projects on how to use AI responsibly. In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and in particular large language models (LLMs) has increased significantly. However, this poses risks for personally identifiable information (PII), as AI systems could store input text and use it for future training purposes. Adrian and Lars presents an innovative method to de-identify prompts by replacing sensitive information with neutral, semantically identical data. For this purpose, the input is first anonymized by a self-hosted backend, then passed on to the actual LLM and finally the answer is brought back into its original form by re-identification and sent to the user. Engaging discussions and a great day together with the tech community made the day truly rewarding. Huge thanks to andrena for organizing a great event! We’re already looking forward to next time! #etka25 #AI #DataPrivacy #arconsis #Anonymization #PII #SecureAI #LLMs #PrivacyByDesign #ResponsibleAI #KnowledgeSharing #Entwicklertag2025

Accessibility, Beer and Pizza – A great evening at arconsis 🍕🚀 Last week, we hosted an inspiring event at arconsis under the motto “Accessibility, beer, and pizza”. The idea was to discuss the impact of the 'European Accessibility Act' (EAA) (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG)) with partners and customers in a pleasant atmosphere: What is needed, where do we stand, and what needs to be done? The law will be mandatory in Germany as of June 28, 2025. The event started with a general overview of the topic presented by our long-standing partner, @andrena_objects. They shared their approach and tools to help their customers prepare for the new regulatory requirements, with a focus on web applications. The second presentation came from arconsis. Ghassen and Felix focused on accessibility for native iOS and Android apps. They gave insights about accessibility challenges and solutions in software development. The evening was rounded off with an open discussion, giving participants the opportunity to exchange ideas and insights. And of course, no great event is complete without good food, so we enjoyed pizza and drinks while continuing our conversations. Overall, we learned a lot about: 👋 • What is accessibility and why is it important? • What is the 'European Accessibility Act' and how does it affect our work? • Testing approaches and best practices for implementation A big thank you to all speakers and participants for making this event a success. We look forward to further collaborations and insightful discussions on this topic. No matter where you currently stand, we’d love to exchange ideas, share best practices, and explore accessibility solutions with you. Get in touch, and let’s start the conversation! #Accessibility #EuropeanAccessibilityAct #EAA #BFSG #TechForGood #SoftwareEngineering #knowledgesharing

It's always wonderful to put a smile on a child's face. We wish everyone a wonderful Advent season.

On the 19th of November, Lars Gavris and Adrian Wörle, Software Engineers at arconsis, had the pleasure to give a talk titled "Anonymous and Secure: The Future of Al Usage with De-Identification" at InfoDays conference. Lars and Adrian shared their experiences and insights, focusing on how to anonymize prompt content before sending it to LLMs, ensuring that no Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is processed or retained. A key part of their presentation highlighted that their system can operate between the client and the LLM, making it completely transparent to the user. This is achieved by first de-identifying the sensitive information and, after processing by the LLM, re-identifying it on the way back to the client, ensuring secure and efficient Al interactions. A big thanks to InfoDays for the organization! It was a great pleasure to provide our expertise with a fantastic audience.

Meet Our Speakers: Adrian and Lars at the "InfoDay Generative Al für Developer" The German speaking conference "InfoDay Generative Al für Developer" is the three-day online event (18. -20. Nov 2024) for anyone who wants to dive deeper into Generative Al and learn how to effectively integrate it into new and existing business applications. From Agents to Large Language Models, Embeddings, RAG, Fine-Tuning, and Frameworks like Langchain and Llamalndex, all the way to Zero-Shot Prompting-this event offers not only presentations but hands-on implementation and discussions! In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence (Al) and in particular large language models (LLMs) has increased significantly. However, this poses risks to personally identifiable information (PII) as Al systems store input text and use it for future training purposes. Adrian and Lars will showcase in their talk a method to de-identify prompts by replacing sensitive information with neutral, semantically identical data. For this purpose, the input is first anonymized by a self-hosted backend, then passed on to the actual LLM and finally the response is returned to its original form by re-identification and sent to the user. This improves data protection when using external Al services.

Prototyping in VR: looking to the future In the world of IT, prototyping is essential for building digital solutions, helping teams to iterate quickly and reduce costs. But what happens when we move beyond 2D screens to fully immersive 3D spaces like virtual reality (VR)? Current tools struggle to bridge this gap, but Bezi - a new VR design platform - promises to change the game. With features like 3D object creation and interactivity, Bezi brings the simplicity of tools like Figma to the VR world. While there are still challenges, Bezi paves the way for a future where VR design is as intuitive as traditional digital design.
