Changing the game in the SDLC: the Gen-e2 journey

Gen-e2 stands for Generative AI Enhanced Engineering, a transformative approach to software engineering focusing on end-to-end delivery and legacy re-platforming. With this AI-first revolution, businesses can achieve productivity gains of 2-3x in product delivery and 3-5x in legacy re-platforming.

We've embarked on a transformative journey with this framework as our cornerstone, completely upending the product development lifecycle (PDLC). By tapping into our partnership with GitHub Copilot, we've transcended old-school software engineering methods to allow ourselves and our clients to deliver projects at unprecedented speeds while maintaining focus on business outcomes.

Our experience has taught us that the future of development lies not in replacing human ingenuity, but in amplifying it through intelligent collaboration with AI.

Generative AI driven digital product development

Challenge:

SIA wanted to deploy a cutting-edge, AI software engineering methodology for one of their digital product squads. Generative AI’s transformative capability in digital product development was tested by this squad, and the positive results from this initial PoC has led to a plan to further test and scale this innovation to wider IT teams.

Solution:

The PoC was centered on PALO IT's Gen-e2 methodology, an approach that approach integrates GitHub Copilot deeply across every phase of a project to empower developers with an AI peer programmer, transforming the linear SDLC into a more streamlined PDLC.

Revolutionizing software engineering with AI

Challenge:

PALO IT collaborated with HCF, Australia’s largest not-for-profit health fund, to deploy the Gen-e2 AI engineering methodology to its already advanced tech teams. The move reflects the fund’s long-term commitment to leading in digital health, and to delivering better outcomes for members.

Solution:

The first pilot project selected by HCF was a new innovation initiative designed to boost Australians' activity levels through social interaction. Active Locals is a mobile app that helps people find groups suited to their interests and fitness levels, with a strong focus on building community.
