As AI reshapes industries and accelerates digital transformation, PhoenixDX is repositioning itself as an AI-powered software development leader, combining deep engineering expertise, process intelligence, and cutting-edge agentic AI technologies to deliver enterprise-grade solutions faster and smarter than ever before.
From low-code pioneers to AI trailblazers
PhoenixDX has long been recognised for its ability to design and deliver mission-critical software that drives tangible business outcomes. With roots in low-code development, the company helped organisations simplify complexity, accelerate delivery, and achieve more with less.
Now, the same philosophy underpins its AI strategy.
“Low-code changed how we build software,” said Pedro Carrilho, Founder and Managing Director of PhoenixDX. “AI is now doing the same – but at an exponential scale. It’s not just about productivity; it’s about aligning technology with business outcomes while maintaining governance, compliance, and engineering excellence.”
Engineering excellence meets AI innovation
PhoenixDX’s approach to AI is deeply pragmatic. The company’s teams bring together top-tier software engineers, process transformation consultants, and data specialists – ensuring AI is implemented with enterprise discipline, not fragmented chaos.
This blend of human expertise and intelligent automation enables PhoenixDX to apply AI across the whole software lifecycle, from ideation and design to delivery and modernisation. Its engineers are trained in both traditional and emerging technologies, including OutSystems, AWS, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other next-generation platforms.
The company is also investing in partnerships with global universities and research institutions, particularly in Vietnam and other APAC regions, to attract and develop top AI talent.
Reimagining legacy modernisation with Agentic AI
One of the most transformative areas of PhoenixDX’s AI focus is legacy modernisation, a challenge enterprises across the region have long faced. Many organisations still rely on decades-old systems with millions of lines of undocumented code and shrinking pools of skilled maintainers.
PhoenixDX is tackling this through a breakthrough process powered by agentic AI, which automates and accelerates code analysis, documentation, and transformation. Using fleets of AI agents trained across multiple languages and architectures, the company can reverse-engineer outdated systems, understand their logic, and regenerate them in modern frameworks—cutting project timeframes from years to weeks.
“We’re making modernisation not just faster, but feasible and economically viable,” Carrilho explained. “AI doesn’t just generate code – it helps us understand legacy systems, recover lost knowledge, and rebuild with precision.”
The result is a 50x reduction in time and cost for modernisation projects, making what was once unthinkable now achievable for large enterprises.
PhoenixDX’s AI-powered strategy is technology-agnostic, supporting everything from .NET and Java to Angular and proprietary legacy frameworks. While OutSystems remains a core partner, the company guides each client toward the best-fit platform, whether it is the technology to be migrated or the technology chosen for the new platform.
Building the AI-powered enterprise
“Being AI-powered means more than using AI tools,” Carrilho said. “It’s about rethinking how we design, build, and deliver value – bringing humans and intelligent systems together to solve problems faster and smarter.”
With the PhoenixDX framework and accelerators, we have established a repeatable, scalable methodology for AI-assisted software engineering and a legacy transformation process for enterprises. This platform blends automation, documentation, and human validation – ensuring every outcome meets the highest standards of quality and security.
Leading the next wave in APAC
As enterprises in the Asia-Pacific region race to modernise and embrace AI, PhoenixDX is positioning itself as a trusted innovation partner, combining technical depth, regional presence, and cultural understanding to guide transformation at scale.
The company’s ambition is clear: to become APAC’s leader in AI-powered software development and consulting, delivering AI-powered services and solutions that not only go faster but also operate smarter, leveraging the latest AI technology.
In Carrilho’s words:
“We’ve always built software that matters – software that drives business results. Now, we’re building the next generation of intelligent systems that redefine what’s possible. This is not the future of PhoenixDX. It’s who we are today.”
