Pega Signs Five-Year Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS to Reimagine Legacy Transformation
Pegasystems
Inc., the Enterprise Transformation Company announced it has signed a five-year
strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The
collaboration will empower clients to harness the power of Pega products with
AWS advanced generative AI services. This includes leveraging Amazon
Bedrock and AWS Transform with Pega Blueprint to accelerate legacy
modernization projects, freeing enterprises from time-consuming and
resource-draining technical debt and opening the door for agentic automation
across enterprise workflows.
A recent
Pega survey indicates technical debt continues to hold back organizations that
increasingly struggle to deliver the digital-first experiences their customers
expect. The survey,
conducted with research firm Savanta,
found that more than two-thirds (68%) of IT decision makers in global
enterprises say outdated legacy systems and applications are preventing them
from embracing innovative technologies like artificial intelligence and
automation.
Under
this new agreement, Pega and AWS will leverage AWS Transform, which uses
agentic AI workflows to automate the full modernization lifecycle, and Pega
Blueprint, a cloud-based application that leverages AI agents to accelerate the
design and development of Pega-powered workflow applications. Together, this
AI-based approach helps clients accelerate their journey to the cloud faster
and more efficiently without disrupting critical business functions. This
allows them to rethink and replace legacy systems and rapidly deploy the power
of predictable AI, agents, and automation to more effectively engage customers,
deliver service, and run their operations.
Pega will
also integrate Amazon Bedrock, a fully managed service, as the primary
generative AI foundation powering Pega Blueprint and Pega Platform™, an AI
decisioning and workflow automation platform used for building enterprise
software solutions. Now powered with Amazon Bedrock, clients can securely
leverage generative AI large language models (LLMs) from companies including
Anthropic, Amazon, Cohere, Meta and more. With Amazon Bedrock enterprise-grade
security controls and governance capabilities, Pega clients can confidently use
the power of Amazon Bedrock across the entire app development lifecycle – from
requirements analysis to initial workflow design to continual refinement.
The
agreement affirms Pega’s commitment to selling in AWS Marketplace as the
preferred transaction mechanism for Pega-as-a-Service, helping to further
reduce the time between contract and innovation for clients, while also
providing clients with access to financial benefits in AWS Marketplace.
Furthermore, this collaboration enables Pega to offer comprehensive migration
services and tools that guide on-premises clients through a seamless transition
to Pega-as-a-Service.
“By deepening our collaboration with AWS,
we’re taking another major step in empowering organizations to use generative
AI to accelerate their legacy application transformation initiatives,” said
John Higgins, chief of client and partner success, Pega. “It’s no longer enough
to keep applying incremental changes to legacy systems in the AI era. Clients
want to drive strategic business process changes to capture the AI driven
productivity improvements -- eliminating technical debt and enabling dynamic
and intelligent workflows are significant value drivers for organizations
seeking to embrace AI to drive business agility. And that’s where we come in.
Partners can now differentiate their services by infusing their IP and best
practices into Pega Blueprint to transform legacy applications.”
“As a
long-standing customer of both Pega and AWS, this timing couldn’t be better,”
said Manas Kumar Sarkar, vice president enterprise application integration
services, Infosys. “This agreement streamlines the path to integrate the power
of Pega Platform and Pega Blueprint into Infosys Cobalt, our industry leading
cloud offering built on AWS. We’re excited about the value this brings to
Infosys as well as to the industry.”
"Generative
AI is not only revolutionizing what customers can build in the cloud, but with
services like AWS Transform, it's fundamentally changing how quickly and
seamlessly they can get to the cloud in the first place," said Chris
Grusz, managing director, technology partners, at AWS. "Our strategic
collaboration with Pega combines AWS AI-powered modernization capabilities with
Pega's expertise in enterprise workflow transformation, providing customers
with powerful tools to escape technical debt without disrupting critical
business operations."
