The merger of Vensis with Decodifi brings together software development industry expertise with specialist AI-led development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Headquartered in Brough, Vensis designs and builds bespoke software used to transform complex, data-heavy processes. The company has worked with organisations such as McCain Foods, Cranswick Country Foods, Serco, One Sub Sea and Kent County Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leeds-based Decodifi has become a specialist AI-focused developer, using AI-based tools to accelerate software build times and tackle labour-intensive tasks. The company\u2019s proprietary tools can cut development cycles by as much as 80 per cent, enabling developers to deliver fully-coded, scalable products at a faster rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben Geldeard, Managing Director of Vensis, said: \u201cWe\u2019re bringing together two talented teams of developers to build better software, faster. Vensis has a strong track record in complex, data-driven systems, and with Decodifi\u2019s AI expertise, we can deliver even more value, faster, for our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s important to recognise that speed never comes at the expense of architectural integrity, from initial prototypes to enterprise-grade systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geldeard continued: \u201cWith Decodifi on board we are able to combine our deep technical knowledge and modernise systems quickly to help drive business growth and ensure organisations remain reliable and are not held-back by operational lag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charlie Bartle, CEO of Decodifi, commented: \u201cThis merger is more than a strategic move; it\u2019s a disruption of the traditional development landscape. Having already seen significant success with the projects our team has delivered using this framework, we have proven that our AI-first approach can outperform legacy cycles by fivefold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bartle added that the merged business would \u201ccombine raw innovation with enterprise scale to fundamentally break the slow, costly norms of the software industry\u201d, creating \u201ca new standard of delivery\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image source: Decodifi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two software firms based in Yorkshire have announced a merger that is described as a &#8220;disruption of the traditional development landscape&#8221;.
