To regulate software delivery costs and SDLC governance, IBM is launching Bob, an AI platform built to anchor enterprise engineering. Accumulated technical debt, hybrid cloud structures, and rigid compliance requirements clash with the raw speed of coding assistants. Without boundaries, they generate unmanaged liabilities rather than functional progress. Dinesh Nirmal, SVP at IBM Software, explained:
