Oceanside Software Corporation

AI & ML interests

Oceanside Software Corporation specializes in providing point-of-sale/service software solutions. We license our IP through proprietary, non-exclusive agreements, aiding our clients in expediting market entry and reducing engineering costs. Our agility as a small enterprise enables us to explore emerging technologies such as AI, LLMs, and ML, integrating these into our business model effectively. We advocate for technology firms to invest in exploration, despite the resource constraints. Without this, they risk lagging behind as AI becomes integral to business operations. Implementing AI demands clear objectives and informed experts who understand its current boundaries, ensuring valuable application and avoiding futile endeavors. Our engineering ethos is rooted in creativity, driving us to refine our offerings as we adapt to advancements like Microsoft's overhaul of the .NET Framework since 2015. We continue to evolve our software in line with the latest TFM, now NET8.0, embracing these changes as opportunities for growth and innovation. (Imagine how dated this profile will sound in the coming years.) Oceanside sees vast potential for AI to enhance our internal processes and customer-facing services. However, our commitment remains with our core niche, integrating emerging technologies judiciously to avoid superfluous features that burden support and testing frameworks. Reflecting on the journey from my career shift 26 years ago, spurred by a Computer Science degree chosen for stability, it's clear this field aligns with my strengths and fuels my passion more than ever. As these technologies mature, we at Oceanside will adeptly incorporate them into our product suite, ensuring we maximize their potential without straying from our foundational mission. -Jason Brower
