Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the enterprise AI software company for mission-critical work, at PegaWorld® announced the Pega Blueprint AI™ application design agent will be integrated within Amazon Web Services (AWS) Transform to help organizations modernize mainframe applications faster and with minimal friction. This integration simplifies enterprise transformation, allowing clients to extract and analyze their legacy COBOL code with AWS Transform and reimagine it with Pega Blueprint AI into new cloud-ready agentic applications – all through one seamless experienc

Market Context: The slow, costly, complex off-ramp from COBOL

As enterprises look to adopt AI agents at scale, mainframe modernization has become a top priority so they can take advantage of the agentic future. Yet these initiatives are often slowed by decades of undocumented logic, millions of lines of COBOL code, and fragmented tools that require manual discovery before modernization can begin. As a result, organizations struggle to move beyond costly, time‑consuming lift‑and‑shift migrations that can replicate legacy inefficiencies in the cloud.

A Closer Look: modernization in a seamless experience

The unique combination of Pega Blueprint AI and AWS Transform composable solution enables organizations to perform application discovery and business rules extraction from their COBOL systems and reimagine them for the digital world. AWS Transform analyzes COBOL code and generates full documentation that captures time-tested business rules, logic, processes, and data structures. Powered by Gen AI and fueled by industry best practices, Pega Blueprint AI then ingests this output to autonomously generate future‑state, cloud‑ready application designs without leaving the AWS Transform interface.

The seamless integration of AWS Transform and Pega Blueprint AI enables businesses to move fast and break nothing in their digital transformation quests with benefits including:

  • Reimagining dated workflows: The new Pega Blueprint AI agent in AWS Transform takes this analysis and synthesizes it with the latest industry best practices and regulations to transform legacy mainframe processes into agile and reliable modern workflows. Pega Blueprint AI can also ingest demos, screenshots, BPMN files, SQL files, and more to ensure the final application preserves business context, rules, data models, and integrations.
  • Accelerating time to value: Organizations can reimagine the outdated processes holding them back with the help of Pega Blueprint AI, which is informed by industry best practices. This rapid, intuitive, iterative methodology gives organizations the digital foundation they need to better compete in the AI economy.
