Engineers remain accountable. Generative AI removes repetitive friction across modernization, testing and knowledge work so telecom teams can deliver faster without trading away quality, security or control.
WHY THIS "GENAI FOR EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY & AUGMENTED ENGINEERING" CHALLENGE?
Software demand is accelerating. Engineering capacity is not

Telecom operators must modernize legacy applications, reduce technical debt and release new services across complex estates. Coding assistants can accelerate individual tasks, but unmanaged adoption can fragment tooling, weaken quality controls and unsettle the workforce. The real challenge is to redesign the software delivery lifecycle so engineers receive useful support, human accountability stays clear and every gain can be measured.

Key benefits
More capacity for the work only engineers can own

Move from backlog to flow

Reduce repetitive effort in code generation, refactoring, documentation and test creation, with engineers reviewing and deciding what moves forward.

check icon
Modernize with context

Connect AI assistance to codebases, architecture standards and telecom domain knowledge so modernization supports the target estate, not just the immediate task.

check icon
Build quality in earlier

Use testing and secure development practices throughout the workflow to surface defects, vulnerabilities and compatibility issues before certification.

check icon
Turn adoption into capacity

Measure cycle time, acceptance, quality and rework by role and workflow, then scale the patterns that create observable value.

How NTT DATA helps

01
Map the work before selecting the tool

Identifies where engineers spend time, where handoffs fail and which SDLC moments are suitable for augmentation. Use cases are prioritized by business value, feasibility and risk.

02
Design a human-accountable delivery model

Defines how AI surfaces suggestions, drafts code or generates tests, and where architects, developers, security teams and product owners review, approve and remain accountable.

03
Build a secure, context-aware foundation

Connects approved models and engineering tools to the relevant code, standards and knowledge while applying access controls, traceability and responsible AI governance.

04
Prove value in governed pilots

Starts with bounded workflows and clear baselines for cycle time, quality, coverage, acceptance and rework, then uses the evidence to decide what should scale.

05
Scale adoption through skills and measurement

Combines role-based learning, AI champions, workflow support and performance tracking so new ways of working become repeatable rather than dependent on isolated enthusiasts.

Proven impact
Two months returned to delivery. Quality kept in view

An anonymized telecom operator in Latin America used generative AI to support the migration of a delivery application from Java to Kotlin. Engineers then corrected the code, performed unit testing and developed the required enhancements, keeping human review inside the modernization workflow.

Results that matter
check icon
7 to 5 months

The documented development timeline was reduced from seven months to five months.

check icon
96% coverage

The application reached 96% coverage before certification, as reported in the source case.

check icon
Architecture updated

The application was aligned with current standards and its architecture was updated.

check icon
Human review retained

Developers corrected generated code, carried out unit tests and completed subsequent enhancements.
