GAPVelocity AI: VELO Modernizes PowerBuilder to .NET

GAPVelocity AI has unveiled VELO for PowerBuilder, a new capability designed to modernize enterprise legacy systems. This innovation brings agentic AI to translate decades-old PowerBuilder applications directly into Blazor and .NET on Azure. The company states this new tool delivers fully modernized Blazor applications up to 20 times faster and at 60% lower cost than a manual rewrite. Organizations currently using PowerBuilder often face challenges like a shrinking talent pool or the high cost and risk of manual rewrites. VELO for PowerBuilder aims to eliminate these trade-offs. It uses AI agents to reason about application architecture, decoupling business logic from the presentation layer. This generates modern, verifiable code. The platform runs its agentic models on Microsoft Foundry, providing an enterprise-grade foundation for scale, security, and governance. This matters because it offers a new solution for businesses relying on older software to update their core systems more efficiently.
