GAPVelocity AI Targets Legacy PowerBuilder Systems with Agentic Modernization

For over three decades, PowerBuilder has anchored core business systems, leaving many organizations trapped between a dwindling talent pool and the prohibitive risks of manual migration. Traditional approaches have historically forced a compromise: either slow, expensive manual rewrites that risk losing undocumented logic, or generic AI translations that produce brittle, unmaintainable code. VELO attempts to break this cycle by deploying AI agents that analyze application architecture rather than performing simple mechanical translations. These agents decouple business logic from the presentation layer to generate idiomatic code that adheres to current framework standards.

Built on Microsoft Foundry, the platform provides an enterprise-grade environment for security and governance, catering to organizations already embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem. Ken Rivera, VP of Engineering at GAPVelocity AI, notes that the company is applying decades of experience in migration tooling to resolve a long-standing bottleneck in enterprise software lifecycles. The platform is available immediately, with live demonstrations showcasing the extraction of business logic and the resulting side-by-side code generation. Companies can currently access a demo application or initiate a codebase assessment to evaluate the tool's performance on their specific legacy systems.
