Global enterprises are under growing pressure to modernize their software stacks as AI becomes the standard expectation rather than a novelty. In sectors like manufacturing and distribution, companies now demand platforms capable not only of automating workflows but also of anticipating commercial needs through intelligent data use.
Responding to this shift, Vendavo, a leader in commercial excellence software, has formed a strategic partnership with Ness Digital Engineering to embed AI across its entire product engineering lifecycle. The collaboration aims to redefine how SaaS companies can scale innovation, boost competitiveness, and build systems optimized for an AI-driven global market.
India has cemented itself as the world’s new services factory, doubling its share of global services exports and transitioning from traditional IT outsourcing toward higher-value engineering and AI-driven capabilities. Ness is part of this movement, operating as a key player in intelligent engineering, data modernization, and cloud transformation.
“As leaders, we must anticipate what the next generation of commercial platforms will require,” said Sharath Dorbala, CEO of Vendavo. “We chose Ness for its AI-first approach and its ability to transform without increasing cost.”
As part of this alliance, Ness will create the Vendavo Intelligent Engineering Center, built around its ATONIS™ AI engineering workbench and supported by proprietary accelerators that enable automation-first delivery and reusable components. The result: faster development, global consistency, and a high-performance engineering culture.
Ness CEO Dr. Ranjit Tinaikar emphasized that Vendavo represents the type of global organization prepared to adopt AI as a structural capability, not a novelty. The partnership also includes the creation of the Vendavo Innovation Studio for rapid experimentation and Vendavo University to grow talent capable of operating in an AI-powered environment.
With more than 11,000 customers worldwide, Vendavo is moving proactively to modernize its software portfolio ahead of market pressures. For Latin America and other emerging regions, the message is clear: AI is not displacing SaaS — it is enabling the next technological leap for companies competing on a global stage.
