GAPVelocity AI to Launch VELO™: The First Agentic AI Platform for Legacy Application Modernization

prnewswire.com
MSFT Microsoft is mentioned as a partner, with their Azure platform and Foundry being integral to GAPVelocity AI's new VELO platform. The article highlights how VELO complements Microsoft's modernization efforts, particularly for complex legacy rewrites that Microsoft's tools may exclude.

GAPVelocity AI to Launch VELO™: The First Agentic AI Platform for Legacy Application Modernization AUSTIN, Texas, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GAPVelocity AI, the AI modernization business unit of Growth Acceleration Partners (GAP), today announced the upcoming launch of VELO™, the industry's first agentic AI platform purpose-built for legacy application modernization. VELO will officially debut during a live virtual event today, April 16, at 17:30 UTC / 1:30 PM EDT, hosted by Jeff Fritz and featuring GAPVelocity AI engineers.

Automating the Impossible: Access-to-Blazor

VELO's inaugural release delivers fully automated Microsoft Access-to-Blazor modernization. Unlike traditional methods, it converts Access databases, forms, reports, queries, and VBA business logic into production-ready C#/.NET Blazor web applications.

During the live launch, the GAPVelocity AI team will demonstrate VELO's end-to-end transformation of a real-world Access application, showcasing how the platform generates modern code complete with automated test coverage.

A New Category: Agentic AI Legacy Modernization

VELO represents a departure from traditional consulting-led migrations and generic AI coding assistants. The platform orchestrates four specialized AI agents in a deterministic pipeline to ensure verifiable output:

By using this agentic approach, VELO eliminates the "hallucination tax," the hidden cost of fixing AI-generated code that looks correct but fails in production.

Deepening the Microsoft Partnership

Built on Microsoft Foundry, VELO is designed to complement Microsoft's own modernization investments. While Microsoft's Cloud Accelerate Factory handles version upgrades, it typically excludes complex legacy rewrites like VB6, PowerBuilder, and Access. VELO is purpose-built to fill this gap, aligning perfectly with enterprise Azure modernization strategies.

The Road Ahead

The Access-to-Blazor release is only the beginning. GAPVelocity AI expects PowerBuilder-to-Blazor to follow, with the architecture designed to support VB6 and WebForms targets in the near future.
