Devsu Designated as Representative Vendor in 2026 Gartner Market Guide for AI-Enhanced Code Modernization Tools
Orlando, Fla., February 13, 2026 — Devsu, a leading global software engineering and AI solutions provider, has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in the newly released 2026 Gartner Market Guide for AI-Augmented Code Modernization Tools. Published on February 2, 2026, this guide highlights notable companies in a burgeoning market estimated to be worth between USD 2.5 billion and USD 3 billion.
The report indicates that organizations are increasingly turning to "agentic AI" technologies which leverage specialized AI agents and generative capabilities to streamline the modernization of outdated systems. As companies grapple with the challenges posed by retiring legacy skills and mounting regulatory pressures, this shift is expected to reshape the future of software development.
Devsu’s proprietary platform, Velx, plays a crucial role in addressing the significant barriers to modernization, particularly the scarcity of expertise regarding legacy systems. By utilizing AI to extract critical business logic and create dynamic knowledge bases, Devsu empowers companies to tackle the complexities that have traditionally rendered modernization efforts daunting.
Key trends highlighted in the Gartner report include:
- Strategic Implementation: By 2029, it is anticipated that 90% of software modernization projects will incorporate AI-augmented tools, up substantially from the current adoption rate of 20% or less.
- Cost Reductions: The introduction of generative AI is expected to cut modernization labor expenses by 33% by 2029 compared to 2025 figures.
- Risk Management: The report cautions that while AI significantly aids modernization efforts, human oversight remains essential to mitigate risks such as "model overreach" and misalignment during transformations.
The importance of maintaining functional equivalence between legacy and modernized systems is emphasized, with Gartner recommending "behavior-first techniques." Devsu’s Velx platform aligns with these principles by prioritizing architectural observability and automated validation, ensuring that modernization efforts do not inadvertently lead to complex technical debt.
