From developer tool to engineering operating model
Many organizations have adopted AI coding assistants, but few have changed how they actually build software. That gap is where PALO IT focuses. Through Gen-e2™, our AI-first product development lifecycle, we embed GitHub Copilot at the center of how teams discover, design, build, test and run software, not just how they write code.
Gen-e2™ is a structured enterprise methodology rather than ad hoc prompting. It combines shared rules, prompts and a single product repository that gives AI the full context of a project, from requirements and designs to architecture decisions. Experienced engineers stay in the loop at every step, reviewing and validating what AI produces. The result is faster delivery that teams can trust in production, including on complex, business-critical systems.

Real outcomes for customers in Asia Pacific and across the globe
Over the past three years, our teams have delivered GitHub-powered engagements across multiple markets and industries, from aviation to financial services. The work ranges from modernizing decade-old, safety-critical legacy systems in a fraction of the time a traditional rewrite would take, to rolling out GitHub to entire engineering organizations and scaling AI-first engineering to reach 3 to 5 times faster velocity at enterprise scale.
What these engagements share is a focus on measurable impact. Our clients aren't looking for another tool; they want shorter delivery timelines, lower maintenance costs and engineering teams equipped to keep improving long after we hand over. Building that capability alongside our clients, through the Gen-e2™ Harness, our library of reusable enablement assets and hands-on enablement, is central to every engagement.
This recognition belongs to our teams and our clients. Together, through cutting-edge work, we’re showing that AI-first engineering on GitHub can transform even the most complex systems and shape the future of the frontier enterprise. — Tanguy Fournier Le Ray, Asia CEO, PALO IT
