Make AI your Software Development Advantage

The pressure to innovate faster and deliver more with fewer resources has never been greater. AI is no longer a “nice to have”—it’s an essential tool for competitive advantage.

In this session, Richard discusses the future of AI-driven software development. He will also elaborate on the key trends and market insights on low-code and AI’s role in building and maintaining mission-critical applications. Stay tuned for an exciting live demo, the first full SDLC digital worker, transforming app generation, delivery, and monitoring using low-code, generative AI (GenAI), and AI-driven guidance.

Join us and learn:

• How it is possible to generate fully functional, scalable apps from natural language inputs.
• Real-world examples of how IT leaders are leveraging AI to accelerate software development and drive business outcomes.
• Actionable advice for incorporating AI into your development processes to stay ahead of the curve.

Legacy to Digital Resilience: Innovation with Agentic AI Platforms

Application development (AppDev) has undoubtedly become a critical part of most organisations in this digital era.But what happens to digital transformation goals when the bulk of an organisation’s critical software applications written in Java and .NET were produced years or even decades ago?
Join us on this event where we will show CIOs how to modernize legacy applications rapidly—without sacrificing control or overwhelming engineering teams. We cover:
1. Automated Legacy Code Analysis for accelerated migration : Use AI-powered code analysis to surface risks, dependencies, and modernization paths quickly—bypassing laborious manual assessment and accelerating modernisation.
2. Unified Data Fabric for seamless Integrations: Maximize value from existing IT investments by harmonizing data across ERP, CRM, data lakes, relational databases, and other knowledge systems in your enterprise.
3. Agent Workbench for Custom Agentic AI Development: Whether for bespoke apps or domain specific functions, agents can automate workflows, integrate with multiple models (including third party ones), and operate under the governance you define. We offer real time monitoring, auditability, and built in guardrails to ensure secure Agentic AI deployment at scale.
