Ask most engineering leaders how AI coding is going and you get a version of the same answer. A handful of developers are noticeably faster. Everyone else’s still working the same way they did last year.
That gap is the reason why we are now a Cursor Transformation Partner.
What the partnership is about
It’s official: Exadel is a Cursor Transformation Partner. Cursor is an AI coding platform many engineers already know and use. We bring Cursor into enterprise engineering organizations and stay with them until AI-native delivery becomes the way the entire engineering team builds software.
Cursor has more than 50,000 businesses on its platform, including 67 percent of the Fortune 500, with over 150 million lines of enterprise code written with Cursor every day. The adoption is already there. What’s usually missing is the part that comes after adoption.
The tool isn’t the hardest part
Individual adoption is easy. A developer installs Cursor on a Friday and is already faster by Monday.
Enterprise AI adoption poses a different challenge—and it’s not a licensing problem. It shows up as a set of questions no one has answered yet. How do we review code that was written with an agent? What’s a reasonable expectation of a team that has AI in the loop? Which parts of our lifecycle change, and which stay exactly as they are? What do we tell an auditor? And what happens to the engineer who doesn’t want to work this way?
None of this gets resolved by buying more seats. It gets solved by working inside real delivery teams, on legacy codebases, until the new way of building becomes the normal way of building.
That is the work we do.
What we bring
We’re an AI-first engineering company, and we back up this claim with proven delivery:
- Forward-deployed engineers who are part of client teams and build alongside them, instead of writing a recommendation deck and leaving.
- Enterprise enablement programs that take a team from curious to fluent, leaving behind practices that last beyond the rollout.
- Engineers working through Cursor's AI Forward Deployed Engineer accreditation, so the people we put on the ground have been through the platform properly.
- A delivery track record on old and complicated codebases, where AI coding tools are hardest to introduce and most valuable once they land.
Cursor is the platform developers work in. Our job is to help an entire organization work that way.
What this looks like in practice
Roll out beyond the early adopters. Get Cursor into the hands of product, application, and platform engineering teams—with the access controls, model policy, and guardrails an enterprise actually needs before it can say yes.
Reshape the workflow. Fit AI-native development into the lifecycle you already run, from planning through code review, testing, and release. The point isn’t to bolt AI onto your process. It’s to decide which parts of the process should change.
Build fluency. Our forward-deployed engineers work alongside your teams on your codebase. Enablement programs cover the rest of the organization. Both aim at the same outcome: your people keep the capability after we’re gone.
Set the standard. Establish operating models, coding standards, review expectations, and success measures so AI-assisted development is consistent and reviewable across teams instead of becoming a per-developer experiment.
Why Cursor
There are two reasons, and both come down to how engineers actually work.
The first is the developer experience itself. Cursor is built for complex, real-world codebases, which is exactly where enterprise engineering lives. Tools that demo well on a greenfield repository and fall apart on a fifteen-year-old monolith do not survive contact with our clients.
The second is model optionality. Cursor supports frontier models from leading providers and gives teams control over model access, MCP, and system-level agent rules. Organizations decide which models their engineers use—and can change that decision later. That matches how we build for clients who don’t want their delivery capability tied to a single provider.
Where to start
If your developers already use Cursor but the rest of the organization hasn’t moved yet, that’s the conversation we want to have. It usually starts small: one team, one workflow, a clear measure of what changed.
