Full Story

Organizations faced bottlenecks: more innovative ideas than engineers available to implement them. Hexaware found development cycles stretched for weeks or months, with many concepts never reaching production.

Replit partnered with Microsoft Azure to create an AI-driven development platform accessible to non-technical employees. Natural language-to-software conversion, autonomous Azure resource provisioning, and one-click deployment enabled anyone to build applications.

75% of Replit enterprise users are now non-software engineers. Development timelines compressed from weeks to minutes. Employees across diverse roles — receptionists, business analysts, consultants — became product builders.
