Your Software Is About to Get a Lot Smarter

The age of software intelligence has arrived! AI is no longer just a buzzword – it's fundamentally reshaping how software is built and deployed.

In his thought-provoking blog, Antti Pohjolainen from Codento explores three key viewpoints on AI's disruptive potential in software development:

1️⃣ Build AI-driven software strategies (intelligent features, data-centric design, ethical considerations)

2️⃣ Supercharge development with AI (code generation, intelligent testing, personalized UX)

3️⃣ Complement your capacity by leveraging Codento's experienced AI experts

As Antti states, "Software intelligence is more than a trend; it's an inevitable evolution demanding focused attention."

Companies embracing this transformation will gain a significant competitive edge, delivering smarter, more efficient software experiences.

Premium Offering: Data Strategy in Action

What is it? Concretize your data strategy by tying it directly to data-led development. The dev work informs strategy, and strategy guides dev - creating a positive feedback loop targeted for production to ensure realistic tests and business value delivery.

Who needs it? Companies without a strategy, struggling to follow their current one, taking first AI/ML steps, or wanting to revisit/refine their strategy.

Why have it? Data-driven success needs a clear vision. A data strategy is the framework for data collection, storage, and processing. It aligns your org around #data roles/responsibilities. It opens doors to new opportunities. DSiA provides the path from vision to value.

What's the story? PoCs often lack clear methodologies and fail to verify value. DSiA does real, valuable app dev work - using strategy to guide it while feeding learnings back in. A true symbiosis of strategy and execution.

"Pragmatic strategy focused on robust, value-driving, battle-tested solutions." - Matthew Wooller, Data/AI Strategist
