Solution Development Copilot Platform (SDCP)
Why?
Digital Solutions are getting more complex, because the number of different technologies and products that need to exchange data is growing. As an example, for the implementation of a business solution using Digital Twins, it is not an exception to have a 2-digit number of different software products from many different vendors used across Edge, Cloud, On-Premise and On-Asset.
What?
A model-driven approach to solution development combined with genAI tools can help organizations to accelerate their solution development by up to 50% and improve the solution quality by up to 40%. These numbers are supported by research, for example:

The Solution Development Copilot Platform integrates different reference models and (AI-powered) tools in the solution development life cycle to accelerate the development and improve the quality of digital solutions.
How?
The SDCP2 combines use case blueprints and reference models in the Sustainable Supply Chain Framework that are implemented in BizzDesign HOPEX modeling platform with the Business Analysis Copilot (BAC), Solution Architecture Copilot (SAC) and Development Copilots. The BAC and SAC are genAI tools, support business analysts and solution architects in their work and are developed by INOVIA Software. The Development Copilots are available on the market from existing software vendors like Microsoft, Schneider Electric, Anthropic, SAP and others.
The SDCP2 also uses the Solution Building Block Library of the Sustainable Supply Chain Framework, so organizations and the SAC have guidance what software products can be used to implement different parts of a use case. The Sustainable Supply Chain Framework originated from a collaboration of Plattform Industrie 4.0 and the MIT Club of Germany on Sustainable Supply Chains and Data Spaces.
The Solution Development Copilot Platform is designed in a way to support also other modeling tools that have an API allowing an interaction with architecture models in the tool and support ArchiMate, BPMN and UML as standard modeling notations.
