Ness Digital Engineering launches ATONIS: an AI-powered engineering workbench to accelerate product innovation
Bridging intelligence and engineering maturity for a digital-first world
Engineering teams are under pressure to deliver smarter, faster, and more reliable software as traditional development cycles struggle to keep up with growing demands. Intelligent automation, AI copilots, and real-time insights are reshaping how products are designed, built, and deployed—bringing new levels of speed, precision, and innovation to software engineering.
To keep the Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC) efficient and manageable, Ness Digital Engineering (Ness), a global full-lifecycle digital services transformation company, has introduced ATONIS. This AI-powered, automated engineering workbench is crafted to transform the entire PDLC—from planning to deployment—using intelligent automation, real-time insights, and smart copilots.
ATONIS is part of Ness’s Intelligent Engineering portfolio, which focuses on building software products that learn, evolve, and deliver intelligence as a service. With over 20 years of experience in enterprise software development, Ness combines product engineering mastery, agile delivery, automation, and continuous improvement through its proprietary delivery management platform.
“With ATONIS, we’re pushing the boundaries of what is possible by embedding AI into the core of engineering execution. We will continue to invest in technologies that redefine how enterprise software is imagined and delivered.”
— Dr. Ranjit Tinaikar, CEO, Ness Digital Engineering
“At Ness, we believe intelligent engineering goes beyond writing code. It’s about driving engineering maturity that accelerates time-to-market, enhances product quality, and sparks innovation,” Dr. Tinaikar added.
ATONIS tackles current engineering challenges by cutting manual effort by up to 50%, allowing teams to focus on solving complex problems. It shortens delivery timelines for quicker product launches and improves consistency and quality, boosting customer satisfaction and retention. In an environment where software is essential, ATONIS acts as an intelligent collaborator that adapts to engineering contexts and amplifies developer productivity.
“ATONIS reflects our vision of intelligent engineering, where AI doesn’t replace humans but empowers them to deliver smarter, faster, and better,” said Vikas Basra, Global Head, Intelligent Engineering Practice, Ness Digital Engineering.
“The platform is purpose-built to streamline the entire software development lifecycle—from design and development to testing and maintenance—while supporting software modernization and transformation journeys. This positions businesses to scale innovation, respond quickly to market changes, and stay competitive in a digital-first world.”
Smoothing the path across the PDLC
ATONIS is an AI-powered engineering workbench that speeds up product development by reducing manual work, boosting productivity, and ensuring smooth delivery. It covers every phase of the PDLC, using intelligent automation, real-time insights, and AI copilots to deliver faster, higher quality results aligned with business objectives.
Key capabilities include:
- Requirements Co-Pilot: Automatically generates user stories and epics from business needs, streamlining backlog creation and increasing Product Owner efficiency.
- Architecture Analyzer: Evaluates codebases and produces wireframes, blueprints, and database designs to accelerate early-stage design.
- Coding Co-Pilot: Generates pseudocode and production-ready code from user stories directly in the IDE.
- Modernization Co-Pilot: Converts legacy codebases into modern technology stacks, reducing technical debt.
- Testing Co-Pilot: Creates functional and regression test cases automatically, enhancing coverage and efficiency.
- DevOps Automation: Enables self-service CI/CD pipeline setup for faster, reliable deployments.
- Intelligence Service: Provides real-time insights into delivery speed, quality, and risks, long before retrospectives.
