Driving modernization, refactoring, and migration efforts with Droids across sectors
MUMBAI, India, LONDON and ISELIN N.J., July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hexaware Technologies (NSE: HEXT), a global provider of IT solutions and services, has announced a partnership with Factory to take agent-native software development to enterprise clients across professional services, banking and financial services, and other major sectors.
The partnership brings Factory's Droid platform into Hexaware's global delivery ecosystem, helping engineering teams build, test, modernize, and manage software inside the workflows they already use. Hexaware has also deployed Droids internally as "Customer Zero," using the platform in its own engineering environment before taking it to clients.
Moving Agents into Everyday Engineering Work
As enterprises look to accelerate software delivery and modernization efforts, agent-native development is emerging as a new model for scaling engineering work. Through this partnership, Hexaware will train and enable its delivery teams to deploy and manage Factory Droids in client environments. The enablement work will cover:
Droid integration with SDLC toolchains, including GitHub, Jira, Azure DevOps, and enterprise CI/CD pipelines
Domain-specific agent configuration for regulated industries
Compliance-aware code generation and audit-ready documentation
Measurement of engineering velocity, quality improvement, and cost efficiency
Joint Factory and Hexaware squads to support early deployments and scale-up
Early Focus Across Key Industries
Initial engagements are focused on areas where engineering complexity and governance requirements are highest. For instance, in professional services, Hexaware is applying Droids to legacy modernization, technical debt reduction, and large-scale refactoring initiatives. In banking and financial services, the focus is on application modernization within regulated environments.
"We've seen dramatic gains in adoption over the last three months. We prioritized training our senior developers, architects, and pod leaders on Factory, and they became evangelists and champions across the organization," said David Corrado, SVP – Strategic Global Clients, Hexaware. "We're seeing 5x to 10x gains in production-ready output while investing the necessary time in guardrails and governance so these agents can operate with efficiency and safety."
From Internal Use to Client Scale
Across internal codebases, Hexaware has used Factory's Droids for large-scale refactoring, documentation, code migrations, and repository consistency. That experience now informs how Hexaware plans to support clients in adopting agent-native development, with the right controls in place.
