Cognizant has announced an expanded strategic collaboration with Pegasystems Inc. to enhance enterprise legacy modernization through AI-driven solutions. By integrating Cognizant’s expertise with Pega Blueprint, the partnership aims to transform outdated systems into adaptive, AI-powered platforms, enabling businesses to unlock value and streamline operations.
Cognizant’s collaboration with Pegasystems leverages Pega Blueprint to address the challenges of legacy system modernization. Enterprises with outdated systems face high operational, maintenance, and licensing costs, alongside issues like poor customer experience and inefficient processes. By combining Cognizant’s AI-driven workbench for code rewriting, business rules, and data extraction with Pega Blueprint’s rapid development tools, the partnership enables the creation of Minimum Viable Products through initiatives like Cognizant’s Bluebolt program. “The opportunity to modernize legacy enterprise systems has never been more urgent, or more achievable, as agentic AI redefines how enterprises build intelligent, adaptive systems, ready for what’s next,” said Ravi Kumar S, CEO, Cognizant.
The partnership moves beyond traditional lift-and-shift approaches, focusing on AI-infused transformation to reimagine business processes and customer experiences. By integrating Cognizant’s industry expertise with Pega Infinity, the collaboration aims to build future-ready, AI-powered systems that drive efficiency and growth. This approach helps enterprises overcome the limitations of legacy systems, such as lack of real-time data, and positions them for long-term success in a competitive landscape.
Legacy system modernization often involves manually intensive and error-prone workflows. “Legacy discovery is one of the most challenging parts of technology modernization, often hampered by manually intensive, time-consuming, and error-prone workflows,” said Alan Trefler, founder & CEO of Pegasystems. The collaboration addresses these challenges by utilizing Pega Blueprint’s GenAI-powered capabilities, enabling faster and more efficient transformation processes. This allows enterprises to innovate rapidly and achieve significant business outcomes.
Cognizant will demonstrate its Pega Blueprint-driven industry solutions at PegaWorld, held from June 1-3 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The event will highlight how the partnership delivers innovative, AI-powered tools to modernize enterprise systems across industries, showcasing the transformative potential of this collaboration.
This strategic partnership between Cognizant and Pegasystems marks a significant step toward redefining enterprise modernization. By combining AI-driven innovation with Pega Blueprint’s capabilities, the collaboration empowers businesses to build adaptive, efficient systems that drive value and prepare them for an AI-native future.
