Our Customers Say
We needed a proficient big data consultancy to deploy a Hadoop lab for us and to support us on the way to its successful and fast adoption. ScienceSoft's team proved their mastery in a vast range of big data technologies we required: Hadoop Distributed File System, Hadoop MapReduce, Apache Hive, Apache Ambari, Apache Oozie, Apache Spark, Apache ZooKeeper are just a couple of names. ScienceSoft's team also showed themselves great consultants. Whenever a question arose, we got it answered almost instantly.
Kaiyang Liang Ph.D
Professor, Miami Dade College
Two years ago, we commissioned ScienceSoft to audit and upgrade our partially developed AI-based software for clay pigeon shooting tracking.
ScienceSoft ramped up a development team consisting of two C++ developers, two data scientists, and a UI design expert to fulfill the project. The team identified core errors, which didn’t allow efficient solution operation, and implemented high-speed convolutional neural networks to fix them. As a result, the system could track a flying target in a real-life outdoor environment and faultlessly detect shooter’s performance.

CEO, Travision AS
bioAffinity Technologies hired ScienceSoft to help in the development of its automated data analysis software for the detection of lung cancer using flow cytometry. Our project required a large amount of industry-specific methodology and algorithms to be implemented into our new software connected to EHR/LIS systems, which ScienceSoft’s team handled well due to a profound understanding of laboratory software specifics and integrations.
Maria Zannes
President & CEO, bioAffinity Technologies
We first contacted ScienceSoft to get expert advice on the creation of the centralized analytical solution. After we got a clear project roadmap, we commissioned ScienceSoft to develop a part of the solution, covering invoicing. The system automates data integration from different sources and invoice generation and provides visibility into the invoicing process. We have already engaged ScienceSoft in supporting the solution and would definitely consider ScienceSoft as an IT vendor in the future.

Unilia Canada Fuel Cells Inc. commissioned ScienceSoft to build a flexible database with user interfaces for managing our test data stored as time-based CVS files. Within 8 months, ScienceSoft delivered a fully functioning database solution regardless of the new solution requirements that appeared during the project. In the future, we are planning to extend the logic of our reports and dashboards and extend data processing options in our database solution, and we’ll definitely be considering ScienceSoft as our partner in this initiative.
