Partner signs five-year contract with AWS for modernizing traditional systems
Pegasystems and AWS Partner to Revolutionize Legacy Application Transformation
Pegasystems Inc. and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have announced a five-year collaboration aimed at empowering organizations to use generative AI for legacy application transformation. This strategic partnership will significantly advance modernization projects by integrating AWS's advanced generative AI services with Pegasystems' Pega Blueprint platform.
Chris Grusz, the managing director of technology partners at AWS, described the collaboration as combining AWS AI-powered modernization capabilities with Pega's expertise in enterprise workflow transformation. According to Grusz, generative AI is revolutionizing what customers can build in the cloud and is fundamentally changing how quickly they can get to the cloud.
One of the key benefits of this collaboration is the ability to address technical debt. Many organizations struggle with outdated legacy systems that hinder AI and automation adoption. The joint Pega-AWS solution automates large parts of the modernization lifecycle, efficiently reducing technical debt and resource drain.
By embedding Amazon Bedrock as the primary generative AI engine, Pega Blueprint and other Pega platforms gain secure access to cutting-edge large language models (LLMs) from providers like Anthropic, Amazon, Cohere, Meta, and more. This allows enterprises to redesign workflows and applications intelligently with AI-generated insights and agents.
The collaboration also enables agentic automation, using AWS Transform to automate the full modernization lifecycle. Agentic AI workflows proactively manage tasks and decisions within legacy modernization processes, improving speed and accuracy.
Pega Blueprint is empowered to use AI agents for accelerated design and development, integrating IP and best practices to transform legacy applications dynamically, supporting strategic business process changes rather than just incremental updates. This results in enhanced workflow modernization.
The combined use of AI, automation, and cloud migration tools helps clients deploy intelligent workflows that enhance customer engagement, service delivery, and operational efficiency during and after legacy transformation.
Infosys Cobalt, Infosys' industry leading cloud offering built on AWS, will benefit from the integration of Pega Platform and Pega Blueprint. Manas Kumar Sarkar, the vice president of the enterprise application integration service at Infosys, expressed excitement about the agreement, stating that it streamlines the path to integrate Pega Platform and Pega Blueprint into Infosys Cobalt.
The agreement also affirms Pega's commitment to selling in AWS Marketplace as the preferred transaction mechanism for Pega-as-a-Service. This collaboration is expected to differentiate partners' services by allowing them to infuse their IP and best practices into Pega Blueprint to transform legacy applications.
A recent Pega survey found that more than two-thirds of IT decision makers in global enterprises say outdated legacy systems and applications are preventing them from embracing technologies like artificial intelligence and automation. The collaboration enables Pega to offer comprehensive migration services and tools for on-premises clients transitioning to Pega-as-a-Service.
Overall, this collaboration helps enterprises reimagine legacy application transformation, making modernization faster, less disruptive, and more intelligent by tightly coupling generative AI, automation, and cloud-native technologies to overcome the persistent challenges of technical debt and outdated systems.
As a result of the collaboration between Pegasystems and AWS, enterprises can now leverage data-and-cloud-computing technologies to revolutionize legacy application transformation in the finance industry. This strategic partnership will allow organizations to address technical debt and adopt AI and automation more efficiently, thereby enhancing their financial operations and overall performance.
By embedding Amazon Bedrock as the primary generative AI engine, the integrated Pega Platform is capable of redesigning workflows and applications intelligently, thanks to AI-generated insights and agents, thereby driving innovation and growth within finance.
