Mukherjee is also known for developing AI-based technology for automating enterprise workflows and for dynamically creating graphical user interfaces from specifications made in declarative markup languages. Under his leadership, Microsoft developed the Windows Presentation Foundation and Extensible Application Markup Language technologies. He used AI-based technologies to build a range of desktop, client-server, web-based, and Software as a Service (SaaS) applications.
With the desire to deeply explore the applications of AI, Mukherjee started working with Wolters Kluwer in 1996. He researched and invented the AI technology that is popularly known as the Intelligent Filing Manager (INTELLIFM). The INTELLIFM technology helps enterprises in transforming paper-based workflows into user-friendly electronic systems. By using INTELLIFM, enterprises can increase their overall efficiency and revenues, and reduce their operating costs. Mukherjee utilized INTELLIFM to develop and commercialize the SaaS model for performing powerful business transactions such as executing multi-jurisdictional filings across the fifty states of the USA and Washington DC. He directed the creation of award-winning SaaS applications, including CTAdvantage.com, hCue.com, LienSolutions.com, and MediRegs.com, while working for Wolters Kluwer as the Chief Information Officer.

BVAL utilizes quantitative algorithms and predictive models to assist in authenticating investment decisions. It harnesses scalable architecture to price millions of financial instruments daily across multiple asset classes. Mukherjee architected, designed, and led the development of the AutoPay platform. AutoPay allows customers to pay their bills by scheduling direct payments using their chosen payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards, and electronic cheques. By offering AutoPay, companies do not have to mail considerable number of paper invoices, and they are able to substantially reduce the manual handling of cash and checks. Companies do not have to spend time following up with the late-paying customers. Thus, AutoPay allows businesses to eliminate overhead, save costs, and provide high satisfaction to their customers.
