    HELSINKI, Finland, Feb 10, 2025 – Eficode is using NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA NeMo – both part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform — to bring Generative AI (GenAI) into software development. This collaboration helps enterprises accelerate GenAI adoption across their Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and provides organizations with the tools and assistance required to build the future of software development. 

    Software development today faces challenges beyond just coding. Communication barriers, misaligned processes, and operational inefficiencies can cost time and resources for organizations. Experts in software economics (Boehm, DeMarco, Lister, Jones, and Brooks,etc.) state that 80% of development costs relate to sociotechnical factors, including how teams communicate and workflow coordination.

    Eficode addresses these issues by deploying AI agents and assistants to enhance workflows, automate routine tasks, and boost teamwork. NVIDIA NeMo supports AI model development, while NVIDIA NIM microservices provide an option for scalable inference. This combination helps businesses incorporate AI into their current DevOps systems effectively.

    Eficode’s integration of these technologies delivers a structured, three-phase approach to integrating AI into software development and introduces AI-powered tools that streamline software development: 

    1. GenAI foundation: Eficode assesses the infrastructure and workflows, providing organizations with a strategic roadmap for AI adoption. NVIDIA NIM microservices enable flexible deployment across on-premises, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments. Hands-on training workshops help ensure teams are ready to implement AI-powered solutions.

    2. GenAI capability: Eficode develops and deploys custom AI agents and assistants using NVIDIA NeMo to address key workflows: Portfolio Agents that align requirements and specifications across teams, Quality Assurance and Test Automation Agents that automate test generation to improve software quality, and Refactoring Agents that modernize and optimize legacy code. Pilot programs validate AI solutions in real-world environments, enabling organizations to scale incrementally.

    3. GenAI acceleration and support: The NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform ensures continuous optimization and lifecycle management of AI agents. NVIDIA NeMo and NIM and Eficode’s DevOps AI safety net enable iteratively scalable solutions like automated validator oracles to enhance decision-making and task execution in every phase of the service and product development.

    “Our collaboration empowers organizations to realize the full potential of generative AI,” said Ilari Nurmi, CEO of Eficode. “With the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform, we provide a clear, phased approach to AI adoption — helping enterprises move from experimentation to full-scale integration, faster time-to-market, and greater innovation.” 

    Eficode’s solutions enable software development, quality assurance, and portfolio management professionals to concentrate on the value they bring to the business. NVIDIA’s AI platform helps organizations respond to changing demands, incorporate new AI models, and use resources effectively. With Eficode’s experience in AI management across DevOps platforms, companies enjoy enhanced flexibility, cost savings, and high performance over time.
