5X FASTER DEVELOPMENT AND CODE REVIEW FOR A LEADING INSURANCE COMPANY

AI-first delivery made refinement 2x faster and development plus code review 5x faster, while reaching 60% of the 33-PFS goal in two weeks.

INTRODUCTION

Legacy applications can limit delivery speed when modernization must happen alongside day-to-day development.

A leading insurance company operated legacy applications with limited automated testing and wanted to shift from effort-based delivery toward a value-throughput model.


CI&T introduced an AI-first approach focused on improving story readiness, technical refinement, development, and validation. Powered by CI&T Flow, specialized agents helped teams move from manual coding toward specification, orchestration, and critical review.


The initiative made refinement 2x faster and development plus code review 5x faster, demonstrating measurable gains across core engineering activities.

THE CHALLENGE: MODERNIZING LEGACY DELIVERY

Legacy applications and limited automated testing constrained delivery while the organization prepared for a value-based operating model.

Legacy Applications

Legacy applications increased engineering complexity and limited how quickly teams could modernize existing delivery practices.

 Limited Testing

The existing environment lacked unit test coverage, increasing the effort needed to validate changes during development.

Delivery Model Shift

The organization needed to move from effort-based delivery toward a value-throughput model while reskilling teams.

THE SOLUTION

CI&T introduced an AI-first delivery approach that improved refinement, automated
development activities, and shifted teams toward orchestration and validation.

Better Refinement

AI capabilities validated stories, cross-checked design inputs, and improved business and technical readiness before development.

Agentic Development

Specialized agents automated end-to-end story development, allowing engineers to focus more attention on validation and complex decisions.

Quality Support

AI helped improve story maturity before coding and supported automated code and test generation throughout development.

THE IMPACT

The AI-first model accelerated both upstream and downstream activities while creating a foundation for broader adoption.
