Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting Spain has celebrated today in Barcelona, a new edition of Developer Summit, an event that has become a reference for the technological ecosystem. The day has brought together developers, technology experts and professionals in the software sector to share knowledge and participate in a complete program of presentations, practical sessions and demonstrations live.
The session began with the welcome of Álex González, director of technology at Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting Spain, who highlighted the importance of Developer Summit, “it is an essential event for all those who seek to be at the forefront in the development of management software.”
In addition the main trends and the latest innovations in the API of Wolters Kluwer were presented. Joan Boure, Api Owner, Sergi Opi, Architecture Manager, and Facundo Santillo, software Quality Assurance Manager, were responsible for sharing these advances with the attendees. In addition, Moisés Martínez, an associated professor at ESADE and an expert in artificial intelligence, analyzed how AI is redefining the role of developers, emphasizing the need to adopt a continuous learning and adaptation mentality.
Challenges and opportunities in software development
Álex González also shared his vision of challenges and opportunities in software development within Wolters Kluwer. He highlighted the responsibility and opportunity that represents working in the corporate area of GBS, underlining the importance of arriving on time to the market and responding to the demands of the partners.
“It is a great responsibility and a great opportunity, which is intense, but at the same time very challenging and we are stopped,” González said. In addition, he mentioned the importance of tools such as Microsoft Co -ilot to improve productivity and efficiency in software development.

The impact of AI on software development
Moisés Martínez deepened how artificial intelligence is transforming software development. He explained that AI uses models that integrate all the information, code and tests of developers to generate precise behaviors. Thanks to the Deep Learning, AI can identify patterns and behaviors with precision that sometimes exceeds human capacity. “The AI is based on mathematical parameters that never fail and we rely on other things that sometimes fail,” Martínez said.
Martínez also reviewed the evolution of AI from the first chats with precise responses to neuronal networks and the importance of imitating human communication to advance technology. “We create the Word Embedding, which is a way of transforming a word into numbers,” he explained. In addition, he talked about the concept of attention in AI, which allows Transformers to identify important information in a context, improving the ability of machines to process data.
“That is what we call the concept of attention and that is what really changed to artificial intelligence,” Martínez said.
Key aspects of AI
- Deep Learning and AI models It was discussed how the Deep Learning transforms information into models that can identify precision objects. The AI ability to overcome human limitations was highlighted by based on mathematical parameters.
- History of artificial intelligence The evolution of AI was reviewed from the first chats with precise responses to neural networks and the importance of imitating human communication to advance technology.
- Word Embedding and words comparison It was explained how Word Embedding transform words into numbers to allow machines to compare complex concepts that humans understand intuitively.
- Transformers and attention in AI The concept of attention was discussed, which allows Transformers to identify important information in a context, improving the capacity of the machines to process data.
- AI race and LLM models Current competition was mentioned in the development of large -sized language models (LLM), highlighting Gipsy and groans as leaders in terms of connections and parameters.
Practical cases
Nuria Lafuente, Tech Partner Thoseger in Personio, presented a practical case of the integration of this application with A3Innuva payroll, explaining its architecture and the use of the Wolters Kluwer API in the process.
Hands-on interactive labs
The Developer Summit also included two interactive Hands-on Labs. In one of them, participants were able to develop applications using the Wolters Kluwer API, learning to integrate and make the most of the company’s connectivity ecosystem.
In the other, a practical session on Contract Testing was offered, focused on improving collaboration between teams and preventing integration problems in Agile environments.
