GAPVelocity AI Unveils VELO for PowerBuilder

In a significant leap forward for enterprise technology, GAPVelocity AI, a division of Growth Acceleration Partners, has launched VELO for PowerBuilder. This revolutionary solution brings agentic AI modernization to legacy systems that have long been a staple in corporate environments. By offering a seamless transition from outdated PowerBuilder applications to modern Blazor and .NET frameworks on Azure, organizations can finally free themselves from the constraints of old technology.

The Legacy Dilemma

PowerBuilder has been the bedrock of countless business applications for over thirty years. However, as technology evolves, organizations are faced with a critical decision: continue using this archaic software and risk falling behind, invest in a cumbersome manual rewrite, or implement a translation that may or may not meet current standards. Traditional modernization approaches typically require sacrificing speed for precision or vice versa. Many businesses have been caught between the slow pace of manual rewrites—which can introduce new risks and costs—and the pitfalls of generic code translation that often lack depth and understanding of complex dependencies.

VELO: A Smart Solution

VELO for PowerBuilder is designed to bridge this gap effectively. Built upon Microsoft Foundry, the platform leverages advanced AI algorithms to reason about application architecture rather than merely translating lines of code mechanically. The VELO system separates business logic from the presentation layer, resulting in modernized applications that adhere to contemporary development standards.

Throughout the process, GAPVelocity AI focuses on verifiable code that meets current framework conventions, significantly reducing the time and cost of modernization. Reports suggest that VELO can generate updated Blazor applications up to 20 times faster and at a remarkable 60% lower cost compared to conventional manual rewrites.

Integration and Benefits

For clients already invested in Microsoft technologies, the implementation of VELO ensures that modernization efforts remain within a familiar and secure environment, addressing concerns of governance and system sensitivity during transformation. Ken Rivera, VP of Engineering at GAPVelocity AI, aptly summarized the challenge many organizations face: "For years, PowerBuilder customers have been told their only option was to rewrite or wait. VELO provides a third, innovative route."

Demonstrations and Availability

Excited to showcase the capabilities of VELO, GAPVelocity AI will present live demonstrations at the upcoming event Code Smarter, Ship Faster, hosted by Jeff Fritz. Attendees will see first-hand how VELO’s agents analyze existing PowerBuilder applications, streamline the modernization process, and produce a side-by-side comparison of original and modernized code. For organizations considering the evolution of their PowerBuilder applications, VELO for PowerBuilder is now available as part of GAPVelocity's comprehensive VELO platform. Potential users can also explore demo applications and source code to better understand how VELO can transform their systems through a dedicated assessment.
