GFT launches AI Impact

The tech demonstrated significant acceleration in initial projects with banks, insurers and manufacturers

The journey of creating software is long, complex, fragmented, and involves dozens of separate tools. To streamline this process, global digital transformation company GFT has launched AI Impact, a new solution leveraging artificial intelligence to eliminate technical debt, increase developer efficiency and automate critical software development processes. In initial projects with leading banks, insurance companies and manufacturers across the American and European markets, AI Impact has demonstrated software development efficiency gains of up to 90%. 

Across enterprises, organisations are leaning more and more on AI tools to automate previously manual and inefficient software development tasks, with three-quarters of engineers expected to use AI-powered code assistants by 2028. GFT’s AI Impact enables companies to capitalise on this reality now. The suite of seven tools expedites everything from creating stories and estimating their effort and complexity, to code review, vulnerability detection and code correction, documentation, and testing. 

“Generative AI is revolutionising the way software is created. I am certain that there will be no software development without AI in the near future,” said GFT co-chief executive officer Marco Santos. “With AI Impact we are making sure our clients are among the first to benefit from this revolution.” 

In the Americas region specifically, AI Impact is currently being rolled out by companies in the finance, telecommunications, retail and health sectors. Compared to manual processes, these organisations have seen a 90% acceleration in story creation; 85% faster documentation generation; 65% reduction in bug fixing time; 80% faster code review; and 85% quicker identification of new vulnerabilities using AI Impact. 

AI Impact is part of the GFT AI.DA Marketplace, a platform that combines predictive and generative AI technologies and data analytics. The GFT AI.DA Marketplace promotes the development and introduction of AI applications by providing a comprehensive collection of use cases, methods, reference architectures and preconfigured solutions. This helps to significantly accelerate digital transformation.
