Pegasystems signs genAI partnership with AWS

Pegasystems has signed a five-year collaboration agreement with AWS aimed at helping organisations digitally transform their businesses using Pega products and AWS generative AI services.

Under the agreement, the two companies will jointly offer solutions making use of AWS Transform, which uses agentic AI workflows to automate the full modernisation lifecycle, and Pega Blueprint, a cloud-based application that uses AI Agents to accelerate the design of Pega-powered workflow applications.

Pega will meanwhile utilise the Amazon Bedrock managed service as the primary generative AI foundation for Pega Blueprint and the company’s AI decisions and workflow automation solution Pega Platform, which is used for building enterprise software solutions. This will enable Pega clients to take advantage of the enterprise-grade security controls and governance capabilities of Amazon Bedrock.

Recent research released by Pega found that 68% of IT decision makers in global enterprises believe that outdated legacy systems and applications are preventing them from embracing innovative technologies like AI and automation.

“By deepening our collaboration with AWS, we’re taking another major step in empowering organisations to use generative AI to accelerate their legacy application transformation initiatives,” Pega chief of client and partner success John Higgins said. “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 organisations 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.”
