Fujitsu launches GenAI service
Fujitsu recently announced the launch of a software analysis and visualisation service. Available in Japan from February, this service will support enterprise and organisational modernisation by investigating and analysing software.
It will also visualise black-box application structures and characteristics, and generate design documents using Generative AI (GenAI). This approach enables a strong understanding of current systems and facilitates the creation of optimal modernisation plans.
The service is made up of two components: software analysis and visualisation, which visualises the applicaton structure and specifications of existing systems; and software design document reverse engineering, which generates design documents from software.
Leveraging Fujitsu's expertise gained from analysing the system assets of over 600 companies, this service provides comprehensive support, from gaining a robust understanding of company software to streamlining and optimising software for migration to new systems, evaluating migration difficulty level during mainframe-to-open-environment migration, and even generating design documents using GenAI.
Utilising the core technology of Fujitsu's AI service, Fujitsu Kozuchi, the design document reverse engineering service generates user-friendly documents from large dat asets. This AI-powered service can provide significant improvement benefits, with projections of a 50% improvement for retail customers compared with manual methods.
Fujitsu is currently advancing utilising GenAI across a range of phases within system integration (SI) projects, including modernisation initiatives and extending from requirements definition to operational maintenance.
The strategic application of GenAI to tasks traditionally executed manually by engineers—including the creation of design documentation and source code throughout the design, development, and testing phases—is expected to yield significant increases in efficiency. The Fujitsu software analysis and visualisation service, which enables the use of GenAI at the requirement definition stage of the SI process, represents one of the many ways that Fujitsu is accelerating SI transformation by leveraging generative AI to the maximum extent towards productivity and quality improvements.
To further enhance productivity and bolster support for client modernisation efforts, Fujitsu will widely expand the scope of GenAI application. Future developments will include interactive capabilities for verifying current application specifications and assessing the impact of source code changes. This commitment to innovation will significantly contribute to the successful realisation of its clients' digital transformation (DX) objectives.
