Devsu Recognized as a Representative Vendor in 2026 Gartner® Market Guide for AI-Augmented Code Modernization Tools

Velx by Devsu, a global software engineering and AI solutions partner, announced its inclusion as a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Gartner Market Guide for AI-Augmented Code Modernization Tools.

Devsu, a global software engineering and AI solutions partner, announced its inclusion as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for AI-Augmented Code Modernization Tools. The report, published on February 2, 2026, identifies Devsu and its proprietary platform, Velx, as part of a fragmented but rapidly growing market estimated to have a total addressable value of USD 2.5 to 3 billion.

The Modernization Imperative: Beyond “Copilots” to Autonomous Agents

Gartner defines the market as solutions that use “specialized AI agents, generative AI, and deterministic analysis to accelerate the transformation of legacy systems”. As organizations face a “burning platform” of retiring legacy skills and increasing regulatory pressure, the market is shifting toward agentic AI—autonomous agents capable of executing end-to-end tasks with minimal human intervention.

The inclusion as a Representative Vendor in this Market Guide confirms Devsu’s commitment to solving the primary modernization bottleneck: the lack of knowledge about legacy systems. By using AI to extract business logic and generate ‘living’ knowledge bases, Devsu enables enterprises to overcome the complexity that has historically made modernization too risky or costly.

Key Market Drivers Identified by Gartner:

• Strategic Planning: By 2029, organizations will use AI-augmented tools in 90% of software modernization projects, a massive leap from the current 20% or less.
• Cost Efficiency: By 2029, GenAI is projected to reduce modernization labor costs by 33% compared with 2025 levels.
• Risk Mitigation: The report emphasizes that AI tools cannot yet fully automate modernization; human oversight remains essential to manage risks like “model overreach” and inaccurate transformations.

Ensuring Functional Equivalence

The Gartner report highlights the importance of “behavior-first techniques” that replicate legacy behavior to ensure functional equivalence between legacy and modernized applications. Devsu’s Velx platform aligns with these market recommendations by focusing on architectural observability and automated validation, ensuring that modernization does not lead to “distributed monoliths” or the migration of technical debt.
