Coforge has launched an AI Adoption Fabric designed to accelerate results and address governance and change management challenges in scaling agentic software development.

Framework overview

The initiative targets key barriers organisations face when scaling AI, with a focus on governance structures, operating model redesigns, and the human side of change management. Announced on August 31, 2026, the framework draws on established methodologies to guide organisations through AI adoption in a structured and measurable way.

Methodologies underpinning the framework

The framework integrates three recognised change management approaches:

• Kotter's Change Model: A structured, step-by-step approach to driving organisational transformation and executive alignment
• Prosci's ADKAR Framework: A goal-oriented model focused on individual transitions through change, covering Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement
• Operational Change Management: Practical, process-level management of change within day-to-day operations, specifically reshaping the software development lifecycle

By combining these methodologies, the framework addresses both the strategic and operational dimensions of AI adoption. It targets governance gaps, change resistance, and workflow reversion that commonly impede AI scaling efforts, providing a workforce readiness roadmap for redefining code review, testing, and quality controls.

Strategic context

As organizations increase investments in AI-powered coding assistants and autonomous development tools, early productivity gains often fail to translate into sustainable transformation. The adoption fabric is built to address common failure patterns, such as developers reverting to outmoded workflows and ineffective governance policies.

Anup Nair, Chief AI Commercial Officer at Coforge, stated that successful organizations treat agentic development as an enterprise transformation initiative rather than a technology project. The fabric provides a structured approach to transforming delivery models, governance, and workforce behaviors to translate AI investments into measurable business outcomes.

Coforge has expanded its strategic alliance with Pegasystems Inc. to accelerate enterprise AI transformation, strengthening its position in intelligent automation and AI-driven solutions.

Alliance overview

The expanded partnership between Coforge and Pega is aimed at speeding up enterprise AI changes for clients. By deepening this strategic alliance, Coforge seeks to leverage Pega's capabilities to deliver advanced AI-powered solutions across enterprise operations.

The agreement combines Pega's AI and workflow platform with Coforge's consulting, engineering, and managed-services capabilities. This integration helps enterprises modernise legacy systems, scale AI adoption, and deliver measurable business outcomes. The expanded agreement builds on two decades of collaboration between the two firms.

The deal gives Coforge expanded commercial rights to package and deliver Pega’s technology as part of integrated transformation programs. Clients will access Pega’s platform alongside Coforge’s consulting, implementation, engineering and managed services through a streamlined commercial and delivery model. This is expected to reduce execution complexity, accelerate deployments, and speed time to value for enterprise clients.

Strategic significance

The alliance reflects a broader industry move toward embedding AI into core enterprise workflows. Coforge's decision to grow its relationship with Pega underscores the company's focus on building specialised capabilities in intelligent automation and enterprise-grade AI platforms.

John Speight, President & EU Geo Business Leader at Coforge, noted that enterprises increasingly seek integrated AI and workflow transformation programs. He stated that the agreement enables Coforge to bring together Pega's market-leading platform with its own consulting, engineering, and managed-services capabilities in a more integrated way.

Speight added that this marks a pivotal shift in how Coforge goes to market, moving from reselling software to delivering full-stack, Pega-powered industry solutions under its own brand. This allows the company to build repeatable, IP-backed offerings for its core verticals, enabling a more agile, specialized go-to-market motion that drives net-new opportunities in application modernization and intelligent automation.

Leon Trefler, Chief of Clients and Markets at Pega, highlighted that clients benefit from Coforge's deep industry expertise in insurance, travel, transportation, and financial services combined with Pega's proven AI platform. He noted that Coforge's use of Pega Blueprint™ accelerates projects by turning months-long discovery phases into rapid transformations. Trefler added that the joint effort helps organizations accelerate transformation, reduce technical debt, and build adaptable enterprise workflows powered by Pega’s scalable architecture and Coforge’s delivery expertise.
