WHAT WE WILL DISCUSS
Enterprise software development is undergoing a major shift. While GenAI can assist with code generation, it’s not enough to transform software delivery. The Generative software cycle of AppGen platforms takes AI further—accelerating the entire development lifecycle from design to deployment, enabling IT teams to build secure, scalable enterprise applications faster.
Built on cloud-native architectures, these platforms ensure that applications are not only developed quickly but also meet enterprise requirements for security, governance, and scalability. As business and IT leaders navigate increasing complexity and demand, AppGen platforms offer a structured approach to modernising application development while maintaining control and compliance.
This event will discuss:
- AI in Software Development: Should AI be applied to every task, or is a “mega-AI” that builds entire applications realistic?
- Role of AppGen Platforms: Where do they fit in the evolving AI-driven development landscape?
- Agentic AI Solutions: How do these platforms support more autonomous, intelligent applications?
- Build vs. Buy: How does AppGen reshape this decision for enterprises?
- Real-World Insights: Learn how organisations use AppGen to boost productivity and drive business value.
Key Takeaways:
- See how your designs become enterprise-grade applications in minutes.
- GenAI is shifting from code automation to full application generation.
- AppGen platforms cut development time and complexity, driving innovation.
- AI streamlines the entire development lifecycle, reducing technical debt.
- Low-code + AI accelerates digital transformation, even with limited resources.
Explore the next wave of enterprise software development—where AI doesn’t just assist but actively co-creates business applications!
