Cognition and McKinsey form an alliance to help enterprises prove the value of AI in software engineering

Cognition formed an alliance with McKinsey & Company to pair Devin with McKinsey's operating-model work for enterprise engineering teams.

Devin takes on the engineering work across multiple projects at once, connected to the systems and security processes a company already uses, and sends the results back to engineers for review. McKinsey helps clients choose which projects to start with, set a baseline for cost, speed, and quality, and change how their teams work so finished projects show up in business results. The two teams say they'll work with clients from the first round of project selection through implementation and scaled adoption.

Comarch is the example given. It's using Devin to modernize ERP XL, its 20-year-old ERP system, on an 18-month timeline, and is working with McKinsey to extend Devin across more of its engineering teams.

Cognition says it already works with six of the eight US global systemically important banks and three of the six top US health insurers. Organizations that want to deploy Devin at scale with McKinsey can contact Cognition's enterprise team.
