Persistent Systems launches SASVA: A game-changer in Enterprise AI
Persistent Systems (BSE and NSE: PERSISTENT), a leader in Digital Engineering and Enterprise Modernization, unveiled its latest innovation, SASVA, a state-of-the-art enterprise AI platform. Designed to leverage the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Machine Learning (ML), SASVA aims to redefine software engineering by accelerating software releases, ensuring faster time-to-market, and enhancing overall efficiency. The name SASVA, inspired by the Sanskrit term “Shashvatah,” embodies the concept of timelessness, symbolizing the platform’s commitment to continuous improvement in the evolving software landscape.
At the heart of SASVA’s innovation is its ability to seamlessly integrate into software engineering processes, effectively addressing various challenges. From preventing technical debt in new developments to minimizing accumulated technical debt in mid- to late-stage software projects, SASVA offers tailored solutions. It is particularly adept at handling complex scenarios in software sustenance and specialized industries, ensuring scalability at an enterprise level.
Traditional software engineering methods often fall short due to their reliance on manual tasks and the expertise of individuals, which can lead to technical debt and inefficiencies. SASVA distinguishes itself by building a comprehensive knowledge base from vast datasets, including millions of code repositories and documents. Its hybrid language models, which undergo continual secure training on customer data from diverse platforms, enhance privacy, security, and regulatory compliance. This process not only streamlines project planning but also generates contextual code modifications for efficient review.
In its initial engagements, SASVA has demonstrated its effectiveness by reducing release times by an impressive 25% to 35%, while simultaneously improving quality and reducing technical debt. This platform enables clients across various industries to achieve significant productivity gains, cost savings, and quality improvements throughout different software development phases.
Sandeep Kalra, CEO and Executive Director of Persistent, expressed pride in the launch of SASVA, highlighting its potential to revolutionize software engineering and maintenance with significant productivity gains and minimized technical debt. Praveen Kalla of Lone View Capital and Chirag Mehta of Constellation Research also shared their insights, emphasizing the strategic importance of SASVA in addressing the growing cost of poor software quality and the platform’s role in accelerating innovation.
