Against the backdrop of reshaping industries by artificial intelligence, the intelligent transformation of software engineering has become a key to enhancing core competitiveness. To promote high-quality development of software and strengthen the supply capacity of critical software, Committee on Cloud Computing Standards and Open Source Promotion（TC608） has launched the 2025 Innovative Application Practice of Intelligent Software Engineering Pioneer. The event focuses on the intelligent transformation of software engineering, aiming to explore application practices across the entire software development lifecycle that leverage technologies, such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and automation, to improve quality, increase efficiency, and drive innovation.
As a well-knwon brand in digital R&D and operations solutions, CanWay BlueWhale, in collaboration with a financial enterprise and a leading liquor company, has successfully stood out in the 2025 Innovative Application Practice of Intelligent Software Engineering Pioneer. This achievement is attributed to its extensive expertise and rich experience in advancing intelligent software engineering.
01 Building an Intelligent R&D Operations Integrated Collaboration Platform to Drive Intelligent Transformation of R&D in Financial Industry.
During the digital transformation in the financial industry, the financial enterprise faced many challenges such as inconsistent R&D governance processes, fragmented toolchains, low collaboration efficiency, stringent security and compliance requirements, and difficulties in migrating legacy systems. To address these, the enterprise partnered with CanWay BlueWhale to develop an intelligent R&D-Operations intergrated collaboration platform based on the CanWay BlueWhale DevOps platform. The platform adopts a three-layer architecture of "foundation layer – core modules – business adaptation," integrating key modules such as agile collaboration, continuous integration, artifact management, and intelligent assistant. It establishes an end-to-end security protection system and granular access controls, eliminates information silos through plugin-based tool integration, and enables a smooth migration of legacy systems via a "parallel operation to phased transition" strategy.
After the implementation of this platform, it improves efficiency of R&D delivery, and optimizes the effciency of communication and asset management. This platform also improves the standardization of team governance, and provides multi-dimensional measurement dashboards. This enables visualization and traceability of the entire R&D process and improves the efficiency of fault troubleshooting. Looking ahead, both parties will strenghthen the partnership and continuously optimize the platform’s capabilities, providing stronger support for the intelligent transformation of R&D in the financial industry.
02 Building a Unified AI-Powered DevOps Platform to Optimize Digital R&D Management
As digital transformation advances, a leading domestic liquor enterprices faced many challenges, such as fragmented and inefficient R&D tools, non-standardized processes, inadequate adaptation of traditional development models, and a lack of team management and performance measurement. To address these challenges, It partnered with CanWay BlueWhale to jointly build a unified AI-powered DevOps platform. This platform integrates multiple modules, including project management, R&D management, and test management, and deeply embeds AI technology into the entire R&D lifecycle covering demand generation, code assistance, and use case design. It also supports hybrid development models and customizable workflows, and its implementation is promoted through an integrated "consultation, deployment, and training" approach.
This platform has standardized and automated the entire R&D lifecycle, with the expectations to reduce the cost of repetitive work and improve delivery speed. Multi-dimensional code detection and quality gates setting can lower the online defect rate, while the multi-dimension performance system provides quantitative support for management decisions. In parallel, the platform has completed data migration and integration with peripheral systems, fostering the development of an internal R&D efficiency team. Looking ahead, both parties will continue to optimize the functions of the platform, further integrate AI into R&D scenarios and set a benchmark for digital R&D management transformation in the fast-moving consumer goods industry.
