    Evidence-Led Program Formation

    Start With Evidence. Prove the Factory. Scale With Accountability

    ASIMOV engagements establish fit, reconstruct the system, prove an end-to-end migration wave and then scale through a governed modernization factory.

Overview

Smarter People focuses on the individual experience of work. We help employees and customers find the right information faster, understand context, make better-informed decisions, complete routine interactions with less effort, and adopt AI confidently. The goal is to improve individual productivity by reducing cognitive load and time lost to search, interpretation, and repetitive work, giving people more capacity for judgment, creativity, customer interaction, and higher-value work. 

Five Stages of an ASIMOV Engagement

Modernization risk lives between the files

A legacy application is a connected operating system of code, data, jobs, screens, rules, interfaces, reports and years of operational learning. Failures occur when those relationships are missed—not when developers type too slowly.

Fitment & Alignment

Confirm business objective, source estate, target direction, evidence, deployment and success criteria.

Intelligence Baseline

Build the source graph, functional understanding, dependency views and risk profile.

Controlled Proof Wave

Transform a bounded representative module and measure automation, exceptions and quality.

Modernization Factory

Scale across modules and waves using shared patterns, quality gates and programme governance.

Operate & Transfer

Refresh target intelligence, train customer teams and transition ownership at an agreed pace.

Representative Proof Wave

Meaningful Enough to Expose Risk. Bounded Enough to Validate

The proof module should represent the source patterns, dependencies, target architecture and validation difficulty that matter at scale.

Clear but non-trivial module boundary

Representative business rules and data interactions

Known upstream and downstream dependencies

Available build, test and reconciliation path

Relevant target architecture patterns

Acceptable operational and release risk

Shared Accountability

ASIMOV Owns the Modernization System. You Own Business and Production Authority

Delivery succeeds when target decisions, evidence, access, environments and acceptance responsibilities are explicit.

Customer responsibilities

  • Provide approved source, environments and supporting artifacts

  • Define target architecture and non-functional constraints

  • Nominate application and business SMEs

  • Approve critical rules, deltas, exceptions and production release

  • Provide representative data and acceptance environments

ASIMOV team responsibilities

  • Deploy and configure the modernization platform

  • Build the system intelligence and specifications

  • Operate agentic transformation and validation

  • Manage issues, exceptions, traceability and evidence

  • Deliver target outputs and support knowledge transfer

Agentic lifecycle

The developer improves the factory—not each converted file

Once scope, specification and target architecture are approved, specialized agents perform the migration. Human experts control decisions and exceptions rather than manually rewriting the target application.

Process Intelligence and Discovery

Discover

Build structural and behavioural truth from code, data, jobs, interfaces, documents and tests.

ground

Specify

Translate approved target architecture, mappings, rules and acceptance criteria into ASF.

engineer or Migrate

Migrate

Agents transform, generate, compile and remediate within approved constraints.

Validate

Validate

Check architecture, functionality, interfaces, data and behavioural evidence continuously.

Maintain

Maintain

Carry migration knowledge into the target graph for impact-aware engineering.

Start a Fitment Workshop

Bring One Application, Its Target Direction and the Constraints That Matter

The workshop identifies the right entry point: documentation, migration readiness, proof wave, full modernization, rationalization or Maintain.

The first deliverable is a clear fitment decision and evidence plan, specific to the source application and target direction.

Why Accion

People productivity first

We start with knowledge friction, cognitive load, and repetitive effort rather than leading with chatbot or automation features.

Shared enterprise context

Semantic Engineering, SKG, and ECL create reusable grounding so people get more consistent answers across AI experiences. 

Assist first, act where useful

Copilots support knowledge and decisions; SPEX is brought in only where a user interaction needs governed action or deeper engineering. 

Built into existing work

We integrate with the productivity, service, knowledge, and business platforms people already use instead of creating another destination. 

Adoption is part of the solution

KAPS, AI Prism, role-based enablement, and SPEX adoption capabilities connect opportunity selection, user support, evidence, and scale.

Scale behind every engagement

The combined experience of approximately 5,000 engineers and a proven platform set stands behind each rollout, so what works for one team can extend across functions with the same grounding and governance.

Identify where trusted AI can remove the most cognitive load and improve how your people work.
