 Persistent Systems , a global pioneer in Digital Engineering and Enterprise Modernization, today announced the launch of SASVA 2.0, the latest iteration of its flagship AI-powered platform revolutionizing software engineering with generative and deterministic AI. Engineered to drive productivity gains throughout the development process, this innovative platform now expands its capabilities beyond the traditional Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). It delivers a fully integrated end-to-end solution from ideation to post-deployment operations for businesses across industries to drive innovation and enhance customer experiences.

 SASVA 2.0 provides interactive workflows and interfaces that drive meaningful, scalable outcomes for product managers, program managers, developers, customer support teams, and professional services — redefining software development for these key personas throughout the lifecycle, from ideation to post-release support.

 SASVA 2.0 unlocks productivity and efficiency gains by:

•  Conducting a comprehensive assessment of projects, providing insights into technology, product, process maturity, security, technical debt, and accurate cost/effort forecasting, helping identify areas for productivity gains and cost optimization.
•  Leveraging historical data and market trends, enabling product managers to create context-driven, prioritized roadmaps and release plans, aligning tasks with team strengths and capacity.
• Expanding requirements into executable release plans, prioritizing tasks, estimating effort, recommending frameworks, and distributing work between human developers and AI for greater efficiency.
• Simplifying development with AI-assisted coding, bug fixing, and security enhancements, while integrating external tools for a seamless experience.
• Providing real-time, context-aware insights and a dynamic knowledge base to enhance customer support and professional services, enabling faster and more effective outcomes.

 SASVA 2.0 strengthens Persistent’s commitment to secure, affordable, and comprehensive AI by seamlessly blending digital capabilities with human expertise, offering businesses an integrated platform for greater efficiency and innovation. The platform enables organizations to boost Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and Net Revenue Retention (NRR), accelerating time-to-market and maximizing business growth.
