GlobalLogic is your Trusted Partner for Semicon Growth in a Rapidly Evolving Industry

Semicon industry stakeholders can certainly agree that this is both an exciting and challenging time for the industry. In 2024, the industry surpassed $600 billion in annual sales for the first time, and according to The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), double-digit market growth is projected for 2025. Accordingly, governments worldwide have taken notice and announced hundreds of billions of dollars in new investments.

On the other hand, the industry faces numerous challenges—supply chain resiliency, access to advanced nodes, escalating manufacturing costs, and, above all, a shortage of qualified professionals. Now, more than ever, Semicon companies need a reliable, trustworthy, and skilled business partner who can support their growth.

Accelerate your journey with VelocityAI and AI-based offering

Using AI today is a must, but few manage to go beyond pilot projects to deliver real business value. To overcome that obstacle we developed VelocityAI, a comprehensive suite of AI-powered service offerings designed to take organizations from ideas to impact and beyond, unlocking tangible business value.  VelocityAI helps enterprises accelerate product development, improve operations, and enhance customer experiences by integrating AI, digital, and human expertise.

Despite AI’s promise, most organizations struggle to deploy and scale it effectively. A 2024 BCG report shows that only 26% of companies using AI can go beyond pilot projects to deliver real business value. VelocityAI addresses this gap with a flexible, scalable, and secure approach tailored to each company’s needs.

VelocityAI is structured around a comprehensive suite of AI-powered service offerings:

AI-powered SDLC (IPSecure, End to End, Flexible): This offering helps development teams and enterprises securely integrate AI across the software lifecycle—from requirements through design, development & testing to deployment—boosting productivity and maintaining IP protection. Leveraging cutting-edge GenAI tools and GlobalLogic’s expert developers, this service offering provides a flexible approach to enhance productivity and quality, through a continuum of human and AI-powered services that optimize development to build and scale AI-powered products.  VelocityAI safeguards intellectual property by seamlessly integrating with data environments, architecture, and standards providing cost-efficient, IP-secured capabilities tailored to an organization’s technical, financial, and regulatory needs.

Intelligence Engineering (Reliable, Responsible, Reusable): Leverages AI to monetize data across products, services, and operations. By harnessing the intersecting power of Digital, AI, and human-centered design, businesses can develop AI-powered products and experiences tailored to their customers while optimizing processes for greater efficiency and agility. To help businesses deploy enterprise-grade AI and GenAI, GlobalLogic designed a Platform-of-Platforms architecture  to address the critical challenges every business must overcome including data privacy and security requirements, preventing intellectual property (IP) leakage, and managing legal risks. The Platform-of-Platforms architecture also integrates best-of-breed models, algorithms, and solutions in the cloud or on-premises. By keeping responsibility, reliability, and reusability at the core, businesses can ensure that AI-driven decisions are accurate, secure, and scalable. Intelligence is embedded into every feature, with built-in safeguards against drift and security risks. Reusable components and scalable architectures further enhance efficiency, enabling businesses to confidently drive innovation.

It’s a one-stop shop that provides multiple solutions for requirements engineering & management, coding assistant, QA automation and DevOps assistant. Our Clients have the freedom to opt in/out of using the platform, as well as choose the preferred model between the on-prem / local LLMs and industry leading proprietary solutions.

Our lab concept and engagement flexibility make difference

While we offer several business models for engagement, many large customers have embraced our lab concept, a fully managed development service for Silicon, hardware, software, and application development services.  Moreover, GlobalLogic collaborates with a wide variety of Clients and is engaged in a multitude of programs of different maturity levels. Thus it is essential for us to maintain the flexibility of various engagement models to address Client needs in the most efficient & seamless way.

Here are several collaboration models through which you can take your business to new levels and set it for additional growth:

• Choose any financial model: Based on Client preferences and needs, we can offer any financial model, ranging from T&M to Cost+ to Fixed Bid / Outcome-based solutions. From the engineering standpoint, in addition to the pure Waterfall SDLC, we invest into the dedicated Agile Practice, that can help engineering teams with the selection of most applicable SDLC, its setup and execution.
• Set KPIs for our labs: We offer clients the possibility to jointly define the KPIs for our labs. Labs facilitate easy engagement and help create reusable design units and accelerators tailored to the lab’s needs. This differentiates the Lab from traditional outsourcing engagements in terms of longevity and protecting its intellectual property.
• Become a strategic partner: For the Clients we have a strategic partnership with, GlobalLogic can offer a Lab model that brings multiple benefits to the table, including flexible KPI definition, potential for in-house accelerator solutions and scale-based discounts.
