Virtusa Corporation, a global provider of digital strategy, digital engineering and IT services and solutions, announced the launch of Virtusa Helio, a new suite of platforms, accelerators, and consulting services that empowers organizations to leverage genAI effectively in their digital transformation initiatives. Built with Virtusa’s Engineering First ethos at its core, Helio will help enterprises navigate their genAI journeys confidently, always with an end solution in mind that creates business value at scale.
Today’s launch comes amid surging enterprise demand for tools and guidance on how to navigate a rapidly changing genAI landscape.
Gartner® forecasts that “by 2030 every dollar of GDP, created anywhere on the planet, will be influenced by AI”, “every person in a developed country will have an interaction with at least one AI instance every single day”, and “100% of IT development will incorporate AI in the design, development, testing, or supporting production.”
Virtusa’s own research reveals near universal optimism for enterprise adoption of gen AI, with 90% of respondents saying that AI can make their organizations more efficient. But while the eagerness to adopt genAI is clear, the path to implementation is less so.
“In a matter of months, generative AI has swept the business world with a speed and impact that we have not seen since the dawn of the Internet,” said Santosh Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of Virtusa Corporation. “Enterprises are eager to adopt genAI; however implementing it at scale in a way that integrates with organizations’ existing digital transformation plans has proven difficult. Virtusa Helio has been designed with engineering at its heart and will help these companies fundamentally reinvent themselves to take advantage of a transformative new era.”
