01
Citation is a provider of HR, employment law and compliance services. As AI began changing customer expectations and the competitive landscape, Citation recognised that simply modernising its platform wouldn’t be enough – it had to rethink how software was built and delivered. Working with Godel it has embedded AI into delivery workflows, rebuilding legacy systems and establishing a more disciplined and predictable approach to product development. This has led to faster delivery, platform stability and AI-driven product features.
02
Citation needed to modernise multiple platforms while continuing to deliver new capability across HR, certification and Alert65, its lone worker safety and monitoring platform. Some legacy systems were not originally designed for continuous AI feature integration, modern microservices architecture or cloud-native scalability. Delivery speed was also constrained by traditional practices and legacy complexities. Market expectations were shifting and customers expected intelligent features – Citation needed a modern engineering approach capable of embedding AI safely into daily delivery – while improving speed and quality.
03
Working alongside Citation Engineering Leadership, Godel’s focus was on addressing agentic constraints , including redesigning engineering workflows – embedding AI agents into design, build and testing cycles.
