  • EXIQO Launched by R Systems to Drive Enterprise-Scale Agentic AI Adoption

    EXIQO

    Greater Noida: R Systems International Limited, a global leader in digital product engineering, has announced the launch of EXIQO, an AI Studio designed to help enterprises scale production-grade agentic AI across business and technology functions.

    EXIQO comes at a time when organizations are moving beyond AI pilots toward autonomous, agent-driven systems and are seeking reliable ways to scale execution.

    According to research commissioned by R Systems and produced by Everest Group, only 15% of enterprises have successfully operationalized agentic AI at scale.

    The report highlights integration complexity, governance risks, legacy system constraints, and talent readiness gaps as key barriers to enterprise-wide adoption of agentic AI.

    “Mid-market enterprises are at an inflection point, with access to powerful AI models opening up new possibilities to reimagine how engineering is done. Unlocking this opportunity calls for enterprise readiness, strong engineering discipline, and robust governance,” said Nitesh Bansal, CEO and Managing Director of R Systems.

    “EXIQO brings these together through a unified, people-and-platform execution approach designed to accelerate engineering velocity and deliver sustained, measurable impact.”

    Built as a people-led, platform-amplified solution, EXIQO integrates over 1,400 AI-native engineers, R Systems’ proprietary OptimaAI Suite, and a governed execution methodology.

    The platform combines enterprise context, embedded guardrails, and human oversight to deliver enterprise-grade execution at scale, ensuring reliability and compliance in AI-driven operations.

    Three Core Pillars of EXIQO
    • AI Native Engineers: EXIQO leverages a workforce evaluated on real-world production delivery, with proficiency measured across more than 43 parameters, including code quality, system design, and business impact.

    These engineers bring hands-on experience from live client environments, delivering 40–55% sustained improvements in engineering velocity through the use of OptimaAI and governed delivery frameworks.

    • OptimaAI Platform: At the core of EXIQO is OptimaAI, a unified platform that supports agentic business operations, accelerates the software development lifecycle (SDLC), and enables legacy modernization. It features enterprise-grade guardrails, compliance policies, and a robust ecosystem of over 150 digital agents, along with reusable connectors, prompts, evaluation tools, and data models.

    Designed with a standards-ready architecture, OptimaAI integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise systems while preserving institutional knowledge and enabling flexibility in choosing foundation models.

    • Delivery Methodology: EXIQO is built for rapid onboarding and outcome-driven execution. Its structured methodology helps enterprises identify high-impact use cases, evaluate feasibility, and deploy scalable, cost-efficient solutions aligned with business goals.

    Early Deployment Impact

    In early enterprise deployments, EXIQO has demonstrated measurable improvements across key operational metrics. These include:

    • 40–55% increase in productivity
    • Up to 50% reduction in support and operational overhead
    • 50–70% automation in high-volume workflows
    • Up to 2X faster execution across teams

    These outcomes highlight EXIQO’s ability to enhance engineering throughput, reduce repetitive development efforts, and improve release quality in enterprise environments.

    “Enterprises are moving from isolated AI experiments to orchestrated, agent-driven execution, but scaling this shift requires more than just access to models. EXIQO reflects a pragmatic approach, combining talent, platform, and a governed methodology to help organizations scale agentic AI with confidence,” said Pareekh Jain, Founder and CEO of tech advisory firm EIIRTrend.
