Engineering the Agentic Era
HFS Research assessed 36 leading service providers on their ability to deliver real agentic AI outcomes – not pilots, not promises.
Ascendion has been named a Horizon 3 Market Leader, the highest designation in the study, recognized for its agentic engineering platform, measurable SDLC acceleration, and early evidence of the shift toward Services-as-Software.
Why Ascendion is a Leader:
- End-to-End SDLC Automation at Scale. AAVA™ orchestrates autonomous multi-agent workflows across the entire software lifecycle – from legacy modernization to live production, giving enterprises a structured, scalable alternative to fragmented toolchains.
- Production Outcomes. Not Pilots. 67% reduction in test effort for a UK retail bank. A 40-year-old wealth platform modernized in 18 months at 45% lower cost. These aren’t pilots – they’re verified client results.
- Software Doing the Work of People. AAVA™ reverse-engineered 700,000+ lines of code through software-defined workflows, not headcount. HFS cited this as direct evidence of the shift toward Services-as-Software.
- A Platform Built for How Enterprises Actually Deliver. Codified playbooks embedded into AAVA™. 100% internal platform adoption. Standardized methods that drive cost efficiency and speed, consistently, at scale.
- Trusted by Clients. Respected by Partners. Clients cite strong leadership, responsiveness, and reliable delivery. Partners point to engineering depth, SME coverage, and a steady focus on outcomes over activity.
