Avue Technologies Achieves 95% Faster Time-to-Market with Karini AI No-Code Platform
How a federal HR solutions provider deployed 50+ AI use cases in 5 months after two years of failed traditional development, eliminating $250K+ in quarterly costs.

Overview
Avue Technologies, the market-leading provider of secure HR solutions for federal agencies, invested over $2 million with three sequential consulting teams over two years, yielding zero production Gen-AI capabilities. After pivoting to Karini AI's no-code platform on AWS GovCloud, they delivered their first production solution in three weeks.
By eliminating engineering dependencies and empowering HR domain experts to build AI workflows directly, Avue achieved a 25x increase in innovation velocity, deployed 50+ use cases in five months, and eliminated 30,000+ lines of legacy code all without adding headcount.
The transformation demonstrates how no-code GenAI platforms enable regulated industries to achieve production results in weeks rather than years, while maintaining FedRAMP compliance and eliminating ongoing consulting dependencies.
About Avue Technologies
Founded in 1983, Avue Technologies provides secure, compliant HR solutions exclusively for the U.S. federal government sector. The company maintains FedRAMP authorization and serves multiple federal agencies with cloud-based talent management platforms.
With over 40 years serving federal agencies, Avue sought to enhance its market-leading talent management platform with generative AI capabilities to maintain competitive advantage and meet evolving agency needs.
"There we were. Poised to be on the frontier. For. Two. Years. We deployed 50+ use cases over five months after two years of failed traditional development. That's the power of no-code GenAI."
— Jim Miller, Co-CEO, Avue Technologies
Challenge | Two Years of Failed Traditional Development
Starting in January 2023, Avue engaged three sequential external consulting teams and invested over $2 million, yet achieved zero production deliverables after 24+ months. Each team attempted different approaches POC development, complete architectural refactoring, additional iterations but all failed to deliver operational GenAI capabilities.
The root causes were systemic: heavy engineering dependencies created bottlenecks for every workflow change, 60-90 day deployment cycles for individual features, compounding technical debt across three codebases, no clear path to FedRAMP compliance, and limited capacity to test only 2-3 proof-of-concept ideas per quarter while competitors launched AI-powered solutions.
Outcome | Measurable Transformation Across All Dimensions
95% Faster Time-to-Market
First production solution in 3 weeks vs. 24+ months. Individual workflows deploy in 3-5 days vs. 60-90 days.
25x Innovation Velocity
50+ AI experiments per quarter vs. 2-3 previously. Deployed 50+ production use cases in 5 months.
$250K+ Quarterly Savings
Cost avoidance through 75% reduction in engineering capacity. 1,000+ engineering hours saved per quarter.
Zero New Headcount
Complete GenAI transformation without new hires. External consulting spend eliminated entirely.
Technical Debt Eliminated
30,000+ lines of legacy code removed. Regression testing eliminated through no-code architecture.
"Speed is everything. The swirling turbulence of today's business environments requires speed and depth. GenAI and the Karini tool allow you to have both."
— Jim Miller, Co-CEO, Avue Technologies
Key Success Factors
Complete Platform Pivot
Avue abandoned traditional consulting entirely rather than incrementally modifying it. Full commitment to no-code architecture eliminated sunk-cost decision-making.
Domain Expert Empowerment
Giving business and HR specialists direct control over AI development removed the requirements-translation bottleneck that caused delays.
Innovation as Operational KPI
Measuring "AI experiments per quarter" alongside traditional delivery metrics incentivized rapid testing and learning over perfection.
Compliance-Native Platform
Embedding FedRAMP compliance in AWS GovCloud infrastructure saved 4-6 weeks per release cycle compared to post-development security reviews.
