Virtusa Corporation, a global provider of digital strategy, digital engineering and IT services and solutions, launched 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.  

According to Virtusa, its platforms and accelerators help enterprises innovate using genAI and drive engineering efficiencies through the software development and maintenance life cycle. They automate tasks, generate insights, provide assistance, and enable creativity to maintain a competitive edge.

“In 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 reinvent themselves to take advantage of a transformative new era.” 

Key Components

A key component of Virtusa Helio is a suite of four proprietary platforms and accelerators that will help enterprises innovate using genAI and drive engineering efficiencies through the software development and maintenance lifecycle. These tools include: 

• Helio Innovate: Helio Innovate combines Virtusa’s Open Innovation Platform (OIP) and a rich generative AI experimentation ecosystem to enable ideation and prototyping using traditional and generative AI. 
• Helio Build: Helio Build is an array of tools developed by Virtusa to accelerate greenfield development using the power of generative AI. It accelerates multiple aspects of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Helio Enhance: Helio Enhance brings the power of generative AI to accelerate the modernization of legacy systems. Modernization efforts have varying degrees of complexity and scale based on the size and stack of the source system and the desired target state. 
• Helio Operate: Helio Operate brings generative AI and AIOps together to set up intelligent operations, automating use cases to an extent that was previously not possible.  

GenAI Center of Excellence (CoE)

In addition to the software solutions themselves, Virtusa has set up a generative AI Center of Excellence, with 450+ engineers trained in genAI focusing on LLM usage, prompt engineering, pipeline orchestration, assisted engineering, and assurance of genAI solutions. This CoE has been equipped to support genAI offerings such as Consulting and advisory, Discrete solution development, Assurance and AI-assisted engineering.

The company believes that Virtusa Helio will combine cutting-edge software solutions with Virtusa’s Engineering First approach and technical expertise to deliver an unmatched resource for organizations seeking to move quickly in genAI adoption and adopt new solutions methodically and in a way that drives long-term success for the business.
