AI-native orchestration engines are redefining enterprise software delivery. Ascendion’s AAVA+ platform exemplifies how agentic AI is revolutionizing modern software engineering. Built from the ground up to operate via hundreds of specialized, autonomous agents embedded in every SDLC role — from product management to site reliability — AAVA+ enables lean, goal-based orchestration that aligns tightly with enterprise needs. These agents, numbering over 4,000 in production, connect seamlessly with more than 80 DevOps tools (including Jira, Jenkins, SonarQube, and AppDynamics), creating what Arun Varadarajan, chief commercial officer of Ascendion calls an “open kitchen model” that grants clients end-to-end process visibility. This approach enables organizations to define business outcomes upfront and let the agents generate user stories, code, tests and architecture — all while maintaining enterprise governance, compliance and quality standards. “We don’t just integrate AI,” he said. “We build from it. Every part of AAVA+ is agentic, from ideation to delivery.” “We are moving from task-based AI to goal-first systems,” Varadarajan said. “You tell AAVA+ the kind of portal you want, and the agents come back with a solution. You’re not writing specs, you’re defining outcomes.” By transitioning from task-level automation to goal-oriented orchestration, AAVA+ reduces friction, shortens timelines and bridges the gap between business strategy and technical execution.
