SCSK Corp. has launched an AI-driven software development platform called DevCond.AI, deploying it from April 2026 across its own development sites and customer projects, the Japanese IT services company said on May 29.
The platform is designed to promote organization-wide use of generative AI across the full lifecycle of system development and maintenance. DevCond.AI supports document creation, code review and system visualization in requirements definition, design, testing and maintenance phases. AI-generated outputs and execution histories are stored as digital data to enable reuse within projects and facilitate quality checks.
The rollout follows a proof of concept launched in October 2024 focused on AI-driven software development. Based on that work, SCSK positioned DevCond.AI as a company-wide common platform rather than a limited initiative.
SCSK said many companies face maintenance challenges because knowledge of legacy systems is often concentrated among a limited number of employees, leading to black-box operations and aging technology. The company is proposing DevCond.AI for generating specification documents from source code, analyzing information sets, producing FAQs from incident data and visualizing systems targeted for redevelopment.
The platform is already applied in five projects, including internal ones, with proof-of-concept work under way in 20 more. SCSK plans to add AI agent development functions and convert interfaces to AI agent-based designs to support what it describes as AI-native development.
Generative AI tools are increasingly used in software engineering for drafting design documents, creating test cases, reviewing code and understanding existing systems. In Japan, large IT vendors and corporate users have been expanding such use while addressing governance, security and intellectual property management requirements.
SCSK is part of the Sumitomo Corp. group and provides system development, IT infrastructure and business process outsourcing services. The company's broader technology strategy, Technology Vision 2030, aims to expand the use of advanced digital technologies and generative AI to improve productivity.
