[Digital Today reporter Chi-gyu Hwang] Accenture and Wavemaker formed a strategic partnership to support application modernisation for mid-sized companies with annual revenue of $3 billion or less.

A recent report by The News Stack said the centerpiece of the partnership is Wavemaker’s “2-pass architecture.”

The 2-pass architecture focuses on addressing hallucinations and non-deterministic output, persistent issues tied to AI code generation. In the first step, it creates an intermediate meta model. In the second step, a deterministic code generator writes the final code. The companies said the second step is not vulnerable to AI errors and ensures stable code. They added that even if errors occur in the first step, people can easily fix them through a visual canvas.

Wavemaker CEO VJ Pulloor (비제이 풀루르) said, “The 2-pass approach overcomes the probabilistic nature of AI code generation and delivers consistent results while writing code faster than humans.” He said it is “particularly important in regulated industries.”

The partnership targets the mid-sized business market that is left out between large and small companies. Large companies have application transformation budgets and dedicated engineering organisations, while small companies have simple requirements. Mid-sized companies need complex software but face tight cost constraints.

Accenture will resell the Wavemaker solution. Competition around this market is already intense. OutSystems, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Microsoft and Google have all entered the AI-based enterprise app generation market.
