Coforge Launches AI 'Mod Squads' With Subscription Pricing
Coforge has launched "Mod Squads," an AI-native delivery model that combines over 130 AI agents with human engineers. This move to a subscription-based pricing structure marks a significant departure from traditional Time & Material (T&M) models.
New AI Delivery Model Launched
Coforge has officially launched "Mod Squads," its new AI-native delivery model. The service combines outcome-based human-agent pods, leveraging over 130 pre-built AI agents. This initiative adopts a subscription-based pricing model, designed to replace the conventional Time & Material (T&M) approach and offer enhanced client value and predictability.
Driving Faster Results and Predictable Costs
The "Mod Squads" model is designed to accelerate clients' time-to-market and provide greater cost predictability. It enables a higher degree of autonomous execution. This represents a strategic shift towards outcome-focused engagements in the competitive IT services landscape, where faster delivery cycles are essential.
Industry Shift Towards Outcome-Based Models
Coforge, a global digital services and solutions provider, has been actively investing in its Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud capabilities to remain competitive. The broader IT services industry is seeing a clear trend toward outcome-based and value-based pricing models, moving away from pure Time & Material billing.
How Clients Will Interact
