Moving Fast, Building Thoughtfully
Operating one of the world’s most robust financial technology platforms with a large and diverse codebase, MoneyGram is focused on scaling innovation with speed and precision. By integrating Augment Code into its development lifecycle, the team is modernizing infrastructure, improving system reliability and accelerating delivery across hundreds of projects.
“Our goal is to create a development environment where updates, migrations and testing happen seamlessly,” said Ganesan Janarthanam (“Jana”), Platform Architect at MoneyGram. “Augment helps us achieve that by automating the heavy lifting, freeing our teams to focus on design and innovation for our customers.”
Previously needing to context switch between platforms, the integration enables engineers to work fluidly across systems and tools. Deep connections with platforms like Confluence and Jira allow developers to stay in flow, eliminating unnecessary context switching and manual documentation.
“Augment walks me through the source code like a domain expert sitting beside me,” continued Jana. “When previously I had to chase down the person who wrote the code for them to explain, Augment can now guide me and help me deliver enhancements faster than ever before.
Why Augment?
Faster modernization with AI
MoneyGram used Augment to automate Spring Boot migrations, reducing project timelines from weeks to hours.
“With Augment, it takes about two hours to perform a migration,” said Jana. “We just told Augment: do the migration and confirm it’s complete — and it did.”
Your AI pair programmer
Engineers now use Augment for real-time code explanations, refactoring and onboarding.
“It’s like having a senior engineer next to you. You can ask as many questions as you want — and it never gets tired.”
Built-in enterprise integrations
Augment integrates natively with Atlassian Jira, Confluence and other Model Context Protocol (MCP) server tools supported, allowing engineers to work without leaving their IDE.
“I can ask Augment to publish a Confluence page automatically — and it just does it,” Jana said. “That eliminated so much manual documentation work.”
Always current, always connected
MoneyGram was impressed by Augment’s rapid model adoption.
“Anthropic released a new Claude model one day — and the next morning it was already live in Augment,” said Jana. “That made me extremely happy. No waiting, no delays.”
