A live demonstration hosted by Jeff Fritz will show you how the agent converts Microsoft Access to Blazor.
Austin, Texas, April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GAPVelocity AIThe AI Modernization Business Unit of Growth Acceleration Partners (GAP) today announced a live virtual event. April 16, 2026introduces VELO™, an agent AI platform purpose-built for legacy application modernization. The event organizer is Jeff Fritzis a well-known figure in the Microsoft Azure and AI communities and will feature a live demonstration of VELO’s first generally available feature: automated Microsoft Access-to-Blazor modernization.
Introduction Vero: Agent AI for application modernization
Enterprise IT teams have long faced a painful reality. Legacy applications written in languages like Microsoft Access, VB6, PowerBuilder, Clarion, and WebForms are too important to ignore and too expensive to rewrite manually. When organizations try to modernize using general purpose AI, they hit what GAPVelocity AI calls the “70% wall.” There, AI-assisted tools generate plausible code but fail in production, leaving teams to spend months debugging illusory logic.
VELO takes a different approach. Built on Microsoft Foundry, VELO’s four agent pipelines – Scout, Architect, Translation, and Quality – provide deterministic, verifiable code transformations rather than probabilistic suggestions. The result is a production-ready .NET/Blazor application.

Why is this important now?
Microsoft Access has entered what industry analysts describe as a “slow decline.” Large-scale feature investments are no longer available, but millions of lines of business-critical logic remain locked away in Access databases and VBA macros across the enterprise. Organizations face increased compliance risks, Citrix update shock, and fewer developers willing to maintain these applications.
VELO’s Access-to-Blazor agent automates the extraction and conversion of Access queries, forms, reports, and VBA logic into modern C#/.NET Blazor applications, preserving business rules while eliminating technical debt.
