Hexaware Technologies, a prominent international IT services and solutions provider, has finalized a strategic partnership with software intelligence firm Factory. The collaboration aims to bring advanced agent-native software engineering capabilities to global enterprise organizations operating across banking, professional services, financial services, and other highly regulated industries.
The joint initiative formally integrates Factory’s proprietary Droid platform into Hexaware’s widespread global delivery infrastructure. This deployment enables client engineering teams to build, validate, modernize, and orchestrate complex code architecture entirely within their established development environments. To ensure maximum operational stability, compliance, and predictive accuracy prior to client-facing installations, Hexaware has internally implemented the Droid technology within its own development environment under a “Customer Zero” staging framework.
Bypassing Legacy Bottlenecks Through Workflow-Embedded AI Agents
As international organizations look to compress software release timelines and aggressively resolve mounting technical debt, the transition toward agent-native development represents the next major paradigm shift in corporate engineering scalability. Under the terms of the new agreement, Hexaware will train and upskill its core delivery teams to seamlessly provision and maintain Factory Droids directly inside custom enterprise environments.

The primary technical enablement framework covers several critical operational areas:
Deep SDLC Toolchain Integration: Embedding autonomous agent pipelines natively into core corporate repositories and version control workflows, including GitHub, Jira, Azure DevOps, and enterprise-grade CI/CD frameworks.
Domain-Specific Architectural Controls: Configuring localized, context-aware software agents tailored to satisfy the unique regulatory and operational demands of specialized industries.
Compliance-Ready Documentation: Automating the generation of clean, traceably secure code alongside audit-ready structural blueprints to eliminate downstream compliance friction.
Granular Velocity Metrics: Implementing precision telemetry layers to continuously monitor net engineering speed, quality enhancements, and structural cost efficiencies.
Unified Scale-Up Squads: Deploying specialized, co-engineered Factory and Hexaware technical teams to oversee early structural rollouts and guide enterprise-wide scaling.
“We’ve seen dramatic gains in adoption over the last three months. We prioritized training our senior developers, architects, and pod leaders on Factory, and they became evangelists and champions across the organization,” said David Corrado, SVP – Strategic Global Clients, Hexaware. “We’re seeing 5x to 10x gains in production-ready output while investing the necessary time in guardrails and governance so these agents can operate with efficiency and safety.”
Targeting High-Complexity Industries for Legacy Modernization
Initial commercial rollouts are strategically focusing on sectors characterized by dense legacy codebases and highly sensitive regulatory parameters. Within the professional services vertical, Hexaware is utilizing the Droid platform to accelerate complex system modernization, reduce technical debt backlogs, and drive massive code refactoring projects. Simultaneously, banking and financial services teams are deploying the technology to securely modernize core transaction architectures inside heavily audited sandbox structures.
“AI is changing software delivery from a support function into an execution layer within engineering,” said Kush Gupta, Global Head – Professional Services, Hexaware. “With Factory, we’re helping clients apply software agents to complex delivery work in a controlled way, with speed, consistency, documentation, and governance built into the process.”
“Hexaware proved this on its own engineering before bringing it to clients. That credibility, with their reach across regulated industries, is the kind of partner we want carrying agent-native development into the enterprise,” said Matan Grinberg, Co-founder & CEO, Factory.
The new agent-native software engineering frameworks are live and positioned for immediate deployment via co-developed service models.
