Tech Debt Terminator

In today's rapidly evolving tech landscape, the success rate of technical projects, including AI ones, remains disappointingly low. Many companies embark on ambitious tech ventures, only to see them fail due to a variety of reasons. This high failure rate presents a significant challenge for businesses looking to capitalize on the potential of digital modernization, such as artificial intelligence. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons behind these failures and introduce Cazton's 'Tech Debt Terminators' service, which is designed to help companies identify and address the root causes of failure in all technical projects, including AI ones.

Cazton has established itself as a unique player in the tech industry, boasting a 100% success rate in AI projects (1), which is particularly impressive considering the industry-wide failure rate of 83-92% as reported by Fortune. Our team of experienced professionals and expert-led training programs have enabled us to achieve this unparalleled level of success. This success, in turn, has allowed us to develop innovative processes and services that can help other companies succeed in their tech endeavors, including AI projects.

Tech Debt Terminators is Cazton's comprehensive code level analysis service. We not only focus on understanding the 'why' behind tech project failures, including AI ones, but also strive to make client developers better by training them on their own code. Our team conducts brown bag sessions and provides 1 on 1 training to help developers improve their coding skills. This is imperative as over time, best practices become ingrained in the team's DNA, reducing dependence on us and alleviating the workload of top team members.

Instead of the usual scenario where a select few are overburdened with assisting others and managing production bugs, our approach helps in reducing tech debt, thereby diminishing unproductive work like battling outages and fixing production issues. In turn, this enhances the work environment. We also increase code completion by enhancing code coverage on unit, integration, and automation tests - essentials for success often deemed low priority in many teams. By delving deep into the code and identifying the root causes of failure, we provide actionable insights and recommendations for improvement. Our service aims to equip companies with the knowledge and tools they need to ensure the success of their technical projects, such as AI ones.
