Digital Applications & Engineering

Build, modernize and run software at AI-native speed — delivered as outcomes, not staff augmentation. Forge™ is the build-and-operate engine: agent swarms turn specifications into production software — new apps, modernizations, integrations and productized ‘services-as-software’ — with human review at the gates that matter. Weeks, not quarters, priced on fixed outcomes and business-KPI gain-share. It works with your existing repos, CI/CD and ERP transports — overlaying them, not replacing them.

What you get & what it delivers

Bold deliverables. Measurable benefits.

Key deliverables

  • Spec-to-code delivery of new apps via orchestrated coding agents
  • Legacy modernization: refactor, replatform, migrate with test parity
  • Services-as-Software: whole workflows delivered as managed software
  • Build-Operate-Transfer and agent-mesh / MCP integration engineering
  • Human review gates at design, validation and deploy

Business benefits

  • Delivery in weeks, not quarters
  • Priced on fixed outcomes and gain-share, not billed hours
  • Straight-through processing maximized; cost per transaction down
  • Run-cost reduced vs legacy estates
  • Gated, instrumented quality — defect density and escape-rate down

Outcomes, visualized

The numbers we target.

Indicative ranges — 2025–26 estimates and planning targets. Actual outcomes are scoped and contracted per engagement.

Offering portfolio

Six managed offerings — each sold as an outcome.

Every offering runs on the Coventa control plane with bounded autonomy and human escalation, priced on outcomes rather than staff.

AI-Native Application Development

Spec-to-code delivery of new applications and services via orchestrated coding agents.

  • Spec & design agents
  • Code + test generation
  • Secure-by-default scaffolding
  • Human review gates
  • CI/CD to landing zone
Outcome KPIs: Weeks to first release; Defect density ↓; Cost per feature ↓
Pricing: Fixed-outcome milestones
Key integrations: GitHub/GitLab, Azure DevOps, cloud PaaS

Application Modernization & Migration

Refactor, replatform and migrate legacy estates to cloud-native, AI-ready architectures.

  • Automated code understanding
  • Refactor & replatform
  • Data & integration migration
  • Test parity automation
  • Cutover & hypercare
Outcome KPIs: Modernization velocity; Run-cost reduction; Risk-managed cutover
Pricing: Per-application fixed outcome
Key integrations: Mainframe/legacy, AWS/Azure/GCP, SAP

Services-as-Software

Whole workflows delivered as managed software — e.g., RFP response, claims, KYC/onboarding, back-office ops.

  • Process-to-agent design
  • Productized workflow apps
  • Outcome instrumentation
  • Continuous improvement
  • Managed run
Outcome KPIs: Straight-through processing; Cost per transaction ↓; Cycle-time ↓
Pricing: Per-transaction / per-outcome
Key integrations: Workflow + system-of-record APIs

Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT)

Build a capability, platform or team, operate it to steady state, then transfer ownership.

  • Capability blueprint
  • Build & staff (humans + agents)
  • Operate to SLA
  • Knowledge transfer
  • Clean hand-over
Outcome KPIs: Time-to-capability; Run maturity at transfer; Retained value
Pricing: Build fee + operate retainer + transfer
Key integrations: Client landing zone & toolchain

Integration & Agent-Mesh Engineering

Connect systems and build the agent mesh (MCP/APIs) that lets agents act across the enterprise.

  • API & event integration
  • MCP / tool connectors
  • Agent-to-agent orchestration
  • Identity & policy propagation
  • Observability of the mesh
Outcome KPIs: Integrations live; Reuse across use-cases; Mean time to integrate ↓
Pricing: Per-connector + managed mesh
Key integrations: MuleSoft, Kafka, MCP, iPaaS

Product Engineering & QA Automation

Full-lifecycle product engineering with agentic test generation and quality automation.

  • Agentic test generation
  • Continuous quality gates
  • Performance & security testing
  • Release engineering
  • Product analytics
Outcome KPIs: Coverage & escape-rate; Release frequency; Quality at speed
Pricing: Fixed-outcome + quality SLA
Key integrations: Test frameworks, CI/CD, observability

Prove it in weeks

Flagship POC — Services-as-Software (spec → production)

A 4–8 week proof that a defined business workflow can be delivered as managed software at AI-native speed, with human review gates and an outcome SLA.

Intake

Capture the business spec and the target outcome — the result the client will pay for.

AI Solution Design

An architecture agent produces the design, plan and estimate for human approval.

Generate

Agent swarms produce code and tests against the approved design.

Validate

Automated QA and security plus human review confirm correctness and safety.

CI/CD Deploy

Infrastructure-as-code pipelines deploy into the secure landing zone.

Operate

Coventa runs the workflow as a managed service against an outcome SLA — BOT transfer optional.

Commercial models

Priced on outcomes — never per FTE.

Outcome pricing

Pay per resolved, prevented or processed unit — or per SLA met. Never per FTE.

Consumption

Usage-based for data-, model- and compute-intensive offerings.

Gain-share

Shared upside on a measurable business KPI — cost takeout, throughput, quality.

Platform fee

Covers the control plane, governance and continuous evals.
