Opkey Debuts Design Studio Suite of Agentic AI Capabilities

Opkey, an agentic AI-native platform for cloud application lifecycle management, is launching the Opkey Design Studio to shorten enterprise application implementation timelines.

Agentic AI tools automate application implementation to drive SIs forward

The Opkey Design Studio is a suite of agentic AI capabilities that extend the company’s platform to automate and standardize enterprise application implementation timelines.

“Systems integrators (SIs) face increasing pressure to deliver enterprise application programs faster with fewer resources while managing aggressive timelines and tighter customer budgets,” said Grae Gray, EVP of strategic innovation and excellence at Opkey. 

“Opkey Design Studio transforms this equation by automating manual tasks that have historically consumed significant time and introduced risk. Our agentic AI approach brings continuous intelligence and traceability from SOW through configuration, helping eliminate scope creep, reduce delivery risk, and protect margins, ultimately enabling SIs to deliver faster and more predictable programs while improving profitability and scalability,” Gray continued.

Discovery and design are generally done manually, with fragmentation and high risk, but Design Studio changes address the challenges this poses.

Transforming enterprise application lifecycle management

The Design Studio applies agentic AI across SOW creation, discovery, design thinking, and configuration. 

This enables Opkey to empower SIs to accelerate delivery, improve traceability from sales to delivery, reduce rework, and focus teams on higher-value transformation and change management activities. 

SIs also get their own copy of Opkey’s AI to train on internal IP and best practices.

It also improves margins for SIs by reducing risk and optimizing resource utilization, while increasing project velocity, enabling firms to manage higher volumes of concurrent implementations and stand up new business faster.

Opkey Design Studio is powered by Opkey’s AI model, trained on enterprise application functional knowledge, to deliver domain-specific recommendations that optimize Oracle and Workday implementations by up to 50 percent, enabling automated discovery, design, and configuration.

Central AI orchestration layer targets every lifecycle phase

Further, the platform features a central AI orchestration layer that coordinates key lifecycle phases: define, design, configure, test, and train.

Among the key capabilities are:

• SOW creation and automation: End-to-end traceability from SOW through delivery, reducing scope creep and project overages.
• AI-powered discovery: Digital questionnaires with an AI copilot trained on comprehensive enterprise application knowledge, streamlining requirements, gathering, and design thinking.
• Visual design set canvas: A modern, intuitive interface, enabling architects to visualize designs and make changes with drag-and-drop simplicity.
• BPMN-compliant business process modeling: AI-powered business process mapping, automating documentation, and ensuring alignment between IT and business stakeholders.
• Design validation: Automated validation against system requirements for clean deployment from the start.
• Automated configuration: Validated design sets for system configuration with unit testing, approval tollgates, and notifications.
• Unified project management: Visibility, traceability, and enterprise-grade data security and compliance across the entire application lifecycle.

The Opkey Design Studio reduces delivery effort by automating manual tasks and eliminating reliance on FTE-heavy manual processes, enabling consultants to focus on advisory services.

This new solution will enhance bid competitiveness by delivering with predictable timelines and reducing costs. It also provides customer experience through modern digital tools and faster alignment with future-state business processes.
