Endava and Cognition expand partnership for governed agentic engineering

Endava and Cognition have announced an expansion of their partnership focused on introducing governed agentic engineering to enterprises. As organisations work to integrate AI into their operations, the collaboration aims to support the safe scaling of agentic software delivery and help accelerate business outcomes.

The partnership seeks to strengthen Endava’s capability to deliver enterprise-grade, AI-native engineering. By increasing access to Cognition’s platforms, Windsurf and Devin, Endava can provide clients with the full capabilities of the Dava.Flow delivery framework. This framework is designed to support the transition from experimentation to operational deployment with enterprise-grade assurance.

By integrating Cognition’s agentic tooling, Endava aims to help clients maintain governance, quality and traceability within development projects. Dava.Flow establishes intent, scope and delivery priorities at an early stage, creating agent-ready backlogs intended to improve precision and control through tools such as Devin and Windsurf. The approach is intended to reduce rework, improve delivery consistency and support adherence to enterprise standards.

Initial deployments of Windsurf have reportedly demonstrated reductions in task cycle times and improvements in testing practices. These outcomes have supported the broader application of agentic delivery patterns across additional client programmes, demonstrating that productivity gains from AI-native delivery can be achieved alongside governance and oversight.

Through the expanded partnership, Endava and Cognition aim to strengthen their joint go-to-market activities. The collaboration is intended to support clients in their digital transformation efforts while reinforcing the partners’ position in delivering AI-enabled solutions across different business environments.

Endava is a technology services provider focused on supporting organisations with digital transformation initiatives. The company delivers services across multiple sectors and emphasises the integration of AI into its processes to support faster and more precise outcomes.

Cognition develops applied AI systems designed for enterprise use. Its platforms, including Devin and Windsurf, are intended to support software engineering teams by improving productivity and supporting consistency in large-scale development environments.
