We recently received the label “Top employer for IT jobs 2024”. This acknowledgment stems from a study conducted by CHIP and Globis Consulting, assessing nearly 2,800 companies in the IT sector. Among all consulting firms, we secured the fifth position with a score of 88 percent. This ranking is attributed to our effective handling of inquiries and applications received during the study and the information provided on our website's career pages and the evaluations on our Kununu profile. If you want to become part of TNG as well, we look forward to your application. You can find an overview of all our vacancies here.

Five Minutes with TNG: our UK subsidiary was recently featured in an article by Joanne Riley of The Oxford Trust. Since setting up at the Oxford Centre for Innovation in August 2023, we’ve already grown to 7 consultants in the UK. The article, based on an interview with our management, details our international expansion, discusses our focus on artificial intelligence, and provides insights into our corporate philosophy. And, it might even contain a tongue-in-cheek reference to what TNG unofficially stands for 😉. Check out the full article here.

Good news for all Confluence Cloud users! Our Atlassian apps team recently released the popular app "Table Enhancer for Confluence" as a Cloud version.

For the cover of this year's Christmas cards we wanted to create something special: a short animated video featuring festive scenes from the TNG locations Munich, Budapest, Oxford, Melbourne, and Tallinn. To accomplish this, we made use of several innovative AI tools. As a first step we asked ChatGPT to come up with a text-to-image prompt. The output is then used to generate a series of beautiful images in Midjourney. To animate the static pictures and incorporate the typical Christmas bustle in the cities we worked with the video AI RunwayML. In a final step, we edited and combined the different scenes and added our Christmas greetings. This resulted in the following short video:

After exhibiting our Dark Tales at the Deutsches Museum in Bonn on Halloween, our Innovation Hacking team has now come up with something new: For the holiday season, we have dusted ai-slides.com with snow and glitter and converted it into a Christmas story generator. In addition to slide decks and spooky horror stories, ai-slides.com will now also feature joyful Christmas short stories generated by just a few prompts. These are narrated by the voice of one of our colleagues. The AI was trained with only one minute of voice recording. Although the training material was exclusively in German, English stories are also possible. The images generated by DALL-E 3 and Stable Diffusion XL further contribute to the festive atmosphere. You can find a collection of our Christmas stories here. 
 

Our brand-new cloud app, "Rock Your Sprint Review for Jira" 🎸, is now available for download on the Atlassian Marketplace. The app automates the often tedious and time-consuming task for developers of preparing sprint review presentations. With just one click, you can now let ChatGPT analyze your tickets of a completed sprint and automatically generate visually appealing slides about the most important results. To further enhance the presentation, you can customize the slide content by including or excluding specific tickets and even incorporating AI-generated images. For this innovative idea, we recently received the "Responsible AI" award by Atlassian in the Codegeist Unleashed 2023 hackathon. The app was also very well-received by our guests at our AI Showcase Expo in Melbourne during the Australian AI Month. For more information and to try the app for free, click here. 

Today marks the start of this year's Advent of Code, which TNG is proud to sponsor once again. So, pull out your keyboard and solve your way through a Christmas story with this coding-based Advent calendar. Enjoy, and good luck!

Last week, our colleagues Vanda Balogh, Benjamin Balogh, Balász Göntér and Áron Erdélyi attended Informatikai Szakmai Nap in Szeged, Hungary. At the job fair annually organized by the computer science department of the University of Szeged, we talked to many students from different IT backgrounds. It was a pleasure getting to know new talents and introducing them to TNG, as our Hungarian branch is growing. We are always looking for new software consultants to join our team in Hungary.
