Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Facing massive annual technology spend, this institution deployed Generative AI coding assistants to its engineering workforce. The initiative has successfully decoupled software output from linear headcount growth, automating rote coding tasks and accelerating modernization efforts.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"This use case illustrates the 'deflationary' economics of AI in IT operations. The scale of deployment (180k+ potential users) and the verified time savings validate GenAI as a legitimate productivity lever for large-scale legacy modernization."

warning The Challenge

The bank operates a massive, complex legacy technology estate with an annual spend of ~$12B. Manual coding processes, technical debt, and routine maintenance tasks constrained developer velocity and diverted senior engineering talent from high-value architectural work.

psychology The Solution

The bank rolled out GitHub Copilot and proprietary GenAI tools to approximately 180,000 employees (including the developer corpus). The tools were integrated into the IDE to assist with boilerplate generation, code reviews, and legacy code refactoring.
