Paragon, a leading full-lifecycle customer experience (CX) consultancy, has announced a strategic
partnership with Intelligenic, an AI-driven company focused on automating the software development life
cycle (SDLC). This collaboration marks the launch of Intelligenic's Beta and Design Partnership
programs, with their final product aimed at dramatically improving the efficiency and effectiveness of
software development and delivery.
Addressing Industry Challenges with AI
The software industry faces significant challenges, including a shortage of skilled talent and rising costs,
leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. According to reports from IDC, Forbes, and Korn Ferry,
nearly 4 million software engineering roles go unfilled annually, resulting in $450 billion in lost potential
revenue. Intelligenic, with input from design partners like Paragon, aims to address these issues by
leveraging AI to automate key aspects of the SDLC – driving greater efficiency, reducing costs, and
improving product quality.
A Transformative Partnership
Intelligenic’s AI platform will expand a development team’s capacity by dynamically generating
applications and work products across the key areas of product development. The platform will integrate
enterprise-class infrastructure and security with AI models to automate the entire product development
life cycle across discovery, design, code generation, QA, and deployment.
As part of the partnership, Paragon will provide pre-production feedback to help shape Intelligenic’s AI
product before its official release. With over 30 years of expertise in customer research, strategy, design,
and development, Paragon is the ideal partner to guide the product’s development. Through real-world
use cases, including strategy workshops and planning phases, Paragon will help demonstrate how AI can
improve discovery, synthesize insights, and accelerate time to activation more efficiently and effectively.
John Ours, CEO of Paragon, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "AI is more than just
a tool; it's a catalyst for transformation. Our collaboration with Intelligenic enables us to offer insight into a
groundbreaking solution that will redefine how software is built. This partnership is about empowering
project teams to achieve their goals more efficiently and effectively.”
Design Partner members, including Paragon, will have early access to a pre-production instance.
Noel Wilson, CEO of Intelligenic, highlighted the significance of the partnership, saying, "Paragon’s
extensive experience in digital transformation and their dedication to customer success make them the
perfect partner for our Beta Design Program. Together, we are setting the stage for the future of AI-driven
software development, and we are excited to collaborate with Paragon on this journey."
Looking Ahead: Transforming the SDLC
Intelligenic’s platform is set to launch in 2024, with initial functionalities focusing on AI-driven discovery.
Early adopters can expect a 50% increase in productivity and a one-third reduction in project costs.
This partnership between Paragon and Intelligenic represents a significant leap forward in the automation
of the SDLC. By reducing manual effort, cutting costs, and accelerating development timelines, the
collaboration is poised to deliver substantial enterprise-level value to the software industry.
