The Next Frontier of DevOps: Moving Faster with Purpose and Confidence

Sethuraman Ramalingam, Sreeram Balachandran

Sethuraman Ramalingam and Sreeram Balachandran of Cognizant discuss migrating from a legacy deployment process to an AI-powered Salesforce DevOps engine using Copado. They detail how they operationalized six Agentia AI agents—Plan, Build, Test, Release, Operate, and Orchestrate—to manage multi-team shared environments, eliminate manual release notes, and resolve environment drift. The speakers highlight specific outcomes, including a 75% reduction in cycle times and a 90% reduction in manual effort, while using Agentia Testing for automated end-to-end validation. They conclude with a four-week transformation strategy for scaling quality gates and back-syncing environments.
