Globant and Faros AI Announce Partnership to Drive Faster and More Efficient Agentic AI-Based Projects

Press Release

SAN MATEO, Calif. – December 11, 2024 – Faros AI, a leader in software engineering intelligence, announced a strategic partnership with Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions. This collaboration aims to accelerate client transformation through faster and more efficient agentic artificial intelligence projects, providing a unified platform that highlights the capabilities and benefits of AI-empowered teams.

Faros AI optimizes engineering workflows by benchmarking productivity across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and identifying bottlenecks, hotspots, and opportunities for improvement.  Globant will empower its engineering teams globally with this new tool so that Globers can make faster and more confident decisions for software development. The expected boost in developer productivity, software quality, and system reliability will improve client satisfaction and help win new opportunities.

“We are transforming our approach to team performance by leveraging AI to maximize the strengths of both technology capability and human authenticity,” said Diego Tartara, Chief Technology Officer at Globant. “Globant’s partnership with an innovator like Faros AI represents a natural and essential step forward in helping organizations capitalize on AI breakthroughs at enterprise scale. Data-driven insights into our engineering processes will empower us to deliver greater value to our clients faster and more efficiently.”

Unlike traditional metrics that require re-architecting tools and processes for limited visibility, Faros AI provides a frictionless, open data platform that consolidates information from all current and future engineering tools used by Globant throughout the entire SDLC. This platform offers live feedback, enabling teams to continuously improve their workflows. Lighthouse AI, Faros AI's advanced AI/ML framework, delivers in-depth root cause analysis and customized recommendations to improve lead times, product quality, and production reliability. This new tool complements the ongoing strategy of Globant’s own Agentic AI, which, combined with Globant X's existing AI products, co-creates a powerful synergy and more efficient development cycles by autonomously performing tasks.

“We’re excited to partner with a high-growth powerhouse like Globant to bring our AI-native data platform to more engineering teams globally at this pivotal moment in the AI revolution,” said Vitaly Gordon, CEO and Co-founder of Faros AI, whose team pioneered AI at Salesforce and is now pioneering enterprise-grade software engineering intelligence. “AI is reshaping the software engineering discipline, and Globant's decision to partner with Faros AI speaks to the depth and adaptability of our platform, as well as the unique insights we bring to maximize the impact of AI-augmented teams on business outcomes.”

This partnership is especially timely, aligning with industry trends and meeting the rising demand for advanced analytics and insights that drive stronger team performance. According to Gartner, by 2027, 50% of software engineering organizations will use software engineering intelligence platforms to measure and increase developer productivity, compared to 5% in 2024.
