Generative AI in Product Engineering and Legacy Modernization: Accelerating Technology Transformation
In today’s fast-paced digital economy, organizations are under relentless pressure to modernize legacy systems, accelerate product engineering, and deliver continuous innovation. Generative AI is emerging as a transformative force in this journey, fundamentally reshaping how businesses approach technology transformation. At Publicis Sapient, we are at the forefront of this revolution, leveraging generative AI to automate, optimize, and future-proof engineering processes—empowering our clients to achieve measurable business value at scale.
Unlocking the Next Era of Engineering Excellence
Generative AI is not just another tool in the engineering toolkit—it is a catalyst for a new era of agility, quality, and efficiency. By automating code generation, refactoring legacy systems, and embedding AI into DevOps pipelines, organizations can dramatically reduce technical debt, accelerate delivery cycles, and ensure their technology stack is ready for the future. Publicis Sapient’s approach integrates generative AI across the entire engineering lifecycle, from initial strategy to ongoing optimization, enabling clients to:
- Accelerate application modernization by automating code analysis, generation, and refactoring, making legacy systems cloud-ready and resilient.
- Enhance quality assurance with AI-powered test automation, synthetic data generation, and rapid regression testing, reducing defects and ensuring reliable releases.
- Reduce technical debt by identifying and remediating outdated code, automating refactoring, and embedding continuous improvement into DevOps workflows.
- Enable data-driven governance by harnessing enterprise data for predictive analytics, risk management, and informed decision-making.
How Generative AI Powers Engineering Transformation
Accelerating Application Modernization
Modernizing legacy applications is a complex, resource-intensive challenge. Generative AI streamlines this process by automatically generating and refactoring code, identifying optimization opportunities, and ensuring seamless migration to modern architectures. This not only reduces time and cost but also ensures applications are scalable, secure, and compliant. Publicis Sapient’s expertise in integrating generative AI with cloud and infrastructure solutions unlocks agility and global accessibility for clients across industries.
AI-Powered Testing and Automation
Quality engineering is critical to successful product delivery. Generative AI transforms testing by automating the creation of test cases, generating synthetic data, and executing regression suites with unprecedented speed and accuracy. This approach accelerates development cycles, reduces manual effort, and ensures that every release meets the highest standards of reliability and performance.
Reducing Technical Debt and Enabling Continuous Delivery
Technical debt can stifle innovation and slow down delivery. Generative AI helps identify areas of code that contribute to technical debt, suggests improvements, and automates refactoring tasks. By embedding AI into DevOps pipelines, Publicis Sapient enables continuous integration and delivery, allowing teams to release features and updates with confidence and minimal risk.
Data-Driven Governance and Decision-Making
Effective governance is essential for scaling digital transformation. Generative AI empowers organizations to harness data for predictive analytics, proactive risk management, and informed decision-making. By connecting and refining data across the enterprise, Publicis Sapient helps clients create actionable insights that drive product innovation and operational excellence.
