AI Ambition Meets Reality: How Perforce is Helping You Navigate the Pressure

Every organization, regardless of the size or industry, has AI Ambitions. While this is an exciting and revolutionary time, it’s also filled with uncertainty and risk. At Perforce, we see what customers are facing. Organizations need to develop a clear and focused AI strategy that articulates the vision and value that AI can provide to the business. Security and compliance need to remain front and center, and vendor trust is essential.

In our opinion, AI adoption within enterprises and organizations needs to:

• Accelerate business needs; not hinder them.
• Add value to technology stacks, not add potential risk or technical debt.
• Amplify the workforce while remaining easily adoptable.

This is why we are launching Perforce Intelligence. Perforce Intelligence delivers trusted enterprise-grade AI across the DevOps lifecycle amplifying teams beyond human scale and accelerating innovation, while ensuring secure, compliant and responsible AI adoption to deliver real business outcomes that scale.

We’ve already embedded Perforce Intelligence within several of our DevOps solutions, and our customers are experiencing results (50% efficient gains, testing in areas they couldn’t with antiquated processes, etc.). Below, we will walk you through Perforce Intelligence in action today, upcoming innovations in 2025, and our larger vision of how we want to connect our AI with other trusted vendors on the market.

Scaling Smarter and Opening New Opportunities in Testing with Perforce Perfecto

One of the foundational goals of Perforce Intelligence is to help organizations scale smarter. AI should be a change agent that breaks bad processes, not one that perpetuates inefficiencies. Nowhere is this more evident than in the software testing space.

Despite advancements in automation and low-code/no-code solutions, traditional testing still faces inefficiencies that slow down innovation. Many testing tools today use AI co-pilots to produce more scripts and frameworks, reinforcing broken systems. At Perforce, we’ve taken a different approach.

Perforce Intelligence uses semantic AI to validate applications visually and contextually to dynamically adapt and change applications appropriately across platforms without human intervention.

The results speak volumes:

• 50% increase in efficiency for testing teams.
• 20% expanded test coverage, enabling organizations to test scenarios where script-based approaches simply weren’t possible before.

Breaking Down Data Barriers for Faster Decision Making with Puppet

Puppet Infra Assistant — within our Puppet Enterprise Advanced product — allows teams to use natural language to quickly understand what is happening across their entire Puppet infrastructure estate – no Puppet language skills required.

This chat interface gives security and development teams key information on how something is working, what versions of modules or server OSes are being used, and whether something is in or out of compliance.

One customer noted that a task that previously required three hours of manual effort is now completed in seconds with Puppet Infra Assistant.

Accelerating Workflows and Simplifying Complexity with Gliffy

For many enterprise teams, designing sequence or class diagrams can be a complex and time-consuming process. That’s why we integrated Perforce Intelligence into Gliffy, our diagramming tool.

By embedding AI capabilities, Gliffy now allows users to build complex diagrams 3X faster. It transforms challenging, contextual ideas into easy-to-digest visual representations in minutes. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive because it’s simple, effective, and gives valuable time back to your teams.

Looking Ahead to 2025

Our roadmap for the future is ambitious. By 2025, Perforce Intelligence will deliver:

• Enhanced creative workflows to supercharge productivity for developers and creative teams.
• Compliant, masked data to enable secure use of AI agents and machine learning projects for further innovation.
• Maintenance-free testing automation, delivering reliable tests across devices, platforms and experiences.
• Infrastructure agent-to-agent orchestration for better infrastructure change management, ensuring compliance on day two and beyond for all infrastructure.

Leveraging the Ecosystem

The future of tech is multi-agent, composability, and interoperability. We are looking to leverage AI capabilities to connect across our portfolio as well as with the Ecosystem of AI tools that your teams are already using.

We believe AI should focus on measurable and meaningful outcomes to drive sustainable change within the DevOps process for organizations. As an organization, we must also build adaptive solutions that can keep pace with the evolving landscape of AI, safely—just as we have always promised with our enterprise-grade products.
