EY has achieved a fourfold increase in coding productivity by integrating AI agents with its engineering standards and compliance frameworks, enabling the production of deployable code. This integration addresses earlier challenges where generated code often breached internal standards and required extensive rework. Stephen Newman, EY’s Global CTO Engineering Leader, emphasized the importance of building a cultural foundation and technical integrations over an 18 to 24 month period to ensure the success of semi-autonomous coding. The company’s focus on organic adoption involved allowing developers to evaluate various platforms, ultimately gravitating towards Factory for its efficacy in enhancing productivity and efficiency.
