Agreement Signed Between Pega and AWS for a Five-Year Partnership to Modernize Existing Structures
In a strategic five-year partnership, Pegasystems Inc. and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have joined forces to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) in modernizing legacy systems for enterprises [1][2][3]. This collaboration aims to help businesses overcome technical debt, outdated legacy systems that hinder the adoption of modern technologies like AI and automation, by integrating Pegasystems’ enterprise transformation tools with AWS’s advanced generative AI services.
Key components of the collaboration include the utilization of AWS Transform, an agentic AI solution that automates the entire modernization lifecycle, refactoring and migrating legacy systems efficiently with minimal disruption to ongoing business operations [2]. Additionally, Pega Blueprint, a cloud-based tool that uses AI agents to streamline the design and development of Pega-powered workflow applications, will be integrated, accelerating the transition to modern, cloud-based business workflows [2].
Amazon Bedrock, a managed service providing large language models (LLMs) from providers like Anthropic, Amazon, Cohere, and Meta, will form the generative AI foundation that enhances Pega’s platform capabilities, enabling secure and scalable application development [2][3]. This integration allows enterprises to escape technical debt without disrupting critical business functions by automating and accelerating cloud migration and legacy system replacement, fostering predictable AI, agentic automation, and improved customer engagement [1][2][3].
According to a Pega-Savanta survey, more than two-thirds of IT decision makers in global enterprises identify legacy systems as a major barrier to adopting AI and automation, highlighting the importance of this collaboration in enabling digital-first transformations [1][2]. Chris Grusz, the managing director of technology partners at AWS, commented that the 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 [4].
Infosys Cobalt, Infosys' industry-leading cloud offering built on AWS, will now integrate Pega Platform and Pega Blueprint, enabling Infosys to offer additional value to both itself and the industry [5]. John Higgins, the chief of client and partner success at Pega, stated that the deepened collaboration with AWS is a significant step towards empowering organizations to use generative AI for accelerating legacy application transformation initiatives [6].
In summary, the Pegasystems-AWS collaboration deploys a suite of AI-powered tools—AWS Transform, Pega Blueprint, and Amazon Bedrock—to deliver agentic automation and generative AI-driven workflows, effectively catalyzing legacy modernization projects that enhance enterprise agility, reduce technical debt, and accelerate cloud migration [1][2][3]. This collaboration is expected to revolutionize the way businesses approach modernization, making it faster, more efficient, and less disruptive to critical operations.
