Endava plc announced that it is expanding its partnership with Cognition, integrating Cognition’s Windsurf and Devin platforms into its Dava.Flow™ delivery framework. The move will allow Endava to offer clients a broader set of governed agentic engineering tools, enabling safer and more scalable AI‑native software delivery.
Windsurf is an agentic development environment that lets developers write code with AI assistance, while Devin is an AI software engineer that plans, executes, and validates complex engineering tasks. By embedding these tools into Dava.Flow, Endava can automate routine engineering work, reduce cycle times, and enforce governance policies across the delivery lifecycle.
The expansion aligns with Endava’s AI‑native strategy, which seeks to embed AI across every phase of its delivery process and accelerate outcome‑based contracts. The partnership is intended to offset recent revenue headwinds—Endava’s Q4 FY2025 revenue fell 3.9% year‑over‑year, and its Q1 FY2026 revenue declined 8.6%—by driving higher‑margin, AI‑enabled services that can command premium pricing.
Endava’s FY2025 revenue grew 4.3% year‑over‑year, but the company guided FY2026 revenue to £750‑£765 million, reflecting a cautious outlook amid market volatility. The new partnership is positioned to strengthen the company’s high‑growth North American and United Kingdom segments, which together account for 71% of revenue (38% North America, 33% UK) and are early adopters of AI‑driven delivery solutions.
CEO John Cotterell emphasized that the partnership is a key step in delivering AI‑native outcomes while navigating a volatile operating backdrop. CFO Mark Thurston noted that continued investment in AI tools is a strategic priority, even as it impacts short‑term margins. The partnership signals Endava’s commitment to maintaining competitive advantage through technology innovation.
The partnership expansion is expected to enhance Endava’s ability to win new contracts and deepen existing client relationships by offering a more efficient, governed, and AI‑enhanced delivery model, potentially improving profitability over the medium term.
