Cognizant and Pegasystems: A Strategic Collaboration

Cognizant, a leader in technology solutions, is expanding its partnership with Pegasystems Inc., a renowned entity in the field of enterprise transformation. The aim? To enhance enterprise legacy modernization through advanced AI techniques and Pega Blueprint™, paving the way for cloud transformations that address the challenges faced by many organizations today.

As numerous enterprises still heavily rely on outdated legacy systems, they face escalating operational costs annually. This includes maintenance, licensing, and additional expenses often overlooked—such as poor customer experiences and inefficient processes that hinder success. Cognizant recognizes this pressing issue and plans to integrate its proprietary technologies with Pega Blueprint capabilities. This integration empowers Cognizant professionals to swiftly convert innovative ideas into Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) through a comprehensive array of rapid development tools. One such tool is Bluebolt, Cognizant's grassroots innovation initiative designed to expedite solutions.

Harnessing the potential of AI, Cognizant aims to rewrite legacy codes seamlessly, extract vital data, and optimize business rules. By collaborating with Pegasystems on the Pega Infinity platform, the company strives to help clients reimagine their business processes and build future-ready, AI-driven systems.

Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant, commented on the partnership, stating, "The opportunity to modernize legacy enterprise systems has never been more crucial. As agentic AI transforms enterprises, we are not just upgrading outdated infrastructures but guiding companies to unlock trapped values and embrace an AI-native future."

The partnership signals a shift from the age-old 'lift-and-shift' model of modernization towards more comprehensive, AI-enhanced transformation paths that rethink business processes, improve customer experiences, and drive growth. Cognizant's alliance with Pegasystems aims to accelerate this journey and deliver significant business results.

Alan Trefler, founder and CEO of Pegasystems, acknowledged the complexities surrounding technology modernization. He mentioned, "Legacy discovery often poses significant challenges due to its manual and labor-intensive nature. Our collaboration with Cognizant is focused on helping clients achieve new levels of efficiency and innovation in their transformation efforts."

In the coming weeks, Cognizant will showcase Pega Blueprint-driven industry solutions at PegaWorld, a prominent event taking place from June 1 to June 3 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This occasion will provide a further glimpse into how this collaboration can empower businesses facing modern challenges.
