Persistent Systems strengthens collaboration with AWS for generative AI services
Persistent Systems, an Indian digital engineering company, is deepening its partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and becoming a collaborator for AWS’s latest Generative AI services.
In pursuit of its objective to enhance developer productivity, Persistent Systems will empower its 16,000-plus engineering organization with Amazon CodeWhisperer, enabling them to expedite the development of industry applications for enterprise clients while maintaining robust security measures.
Leveraging CodeWhisperer’s training on billions of lines of code, Persistent Systems engineers will be able to generate code with comments or existing code, streamlining development tasks and accelerating the creation of new solutions.
Over the past decade, Persistent Systems has steadily expanded its association with AWS. As a trailblazer in democratizing access to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies, AWS plays a pivotal role in making Generative AI easily accessible, secure, and cost-effective for clients.
This comprehensive suite of solutions encompasses Amazon CodeWhisperer, Amazon Bedrock, and Amazon Titan FMs, along with purpose-built chips for ML training (AWS Trainium) and inference (AWS Inferentia), offering highly cost-efficient options for training models and running inference in the cloud.
Deepak Singh — AWS Vice President of Next Gen Developer Experience said: “Working closely with Persistent over the last decade, it’s become clear that we share the same passion for innovation and relentless dedication to our customers. Persistent’s engineering pedigree and industry expertise combined with AWS’s generative AI solutions will make it easy, secure, and cost-effective for enterprise customers of any size to design and implement their generative AI strategies.
“We are excited to put CodeWhisperer in the hands of Persistent’s engineers so they can harness generative AI to accelerate application development and improve developer satisfaction, while taking advantage of built-in security scanning and the reference tracker to build applications securely and responsibly.”
Persistent Systems has been actively involved in the AI space for over two years, developing its capabilities, accelerators, and client engagements, with a particular focus on transformer models. The company is committed to deploying Generative AI at scale in a safe, trusted, and cost-effective manner.
Collaborating with AWS, Persistent Systems will prioritize privacy, security, and regulatory requirements to address client concerns effectively and facilitate the widespread adoption of Generative AI.
Sandeep Kalra — Persistent Systems CEO and Executive Director said: “As a pioneer in Digital Engineering, we have always believed in staying ahead of the disruptive technology curve, such as Generative AI. Our proactive approach and deep collaboration with AWS have enabled us to provide game-changing engineering solutions that have accelerated time to value for our clients across industries.
“With the adoption of CodeWhisperer by our engineering teams, we are witnessing valuable productivity gains across the software engineering lifecycle and expect these to improve significantly over time. With this alliance, we will work closely with AWS in onboarding our Enterprise and ISV clients to CodeWhisperer and provide them the necessary training and support to accelerate their digital transformation journeys.”
