Pegasystems Inc. has integrated its Pega Blueprint AI application design agent with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Transform to help organizations modernize mainframe applications faster. The integration allows clients to extract and analyze legacy COBOL code with AWS Transform and reimagine it with Pega Blueprint AI into new cloud-ready agentic applications through a single interface. This solution aims to simplify enterprise transformation by reducing the friction associated with moving from outdated systems to modern cloud infrastructure.
Addressing legacy complexity
Mainframe modernization has become a priority for enterprises adopting AI agents at scale, yet initiatives are often slowed by undocumented logic and fragmented tools. Organizations frequently struggle with costly, time-consuming lift-and-shift migrations that can replicate legacy inefficiencies in the cloud. The combination of Pega Blueprint AI and AWS Transform enables application discovery and business rules extraction from COBOL systems, allowing them to be reimagined for the digital world.
Seamless modernization process
AWS Transform analyzes COBOL code and generates documentation capturing business rules, logic, processes, and data structures. Pega Blueprint AI, powered by Gen AI and industry best practices, ingests this output to autonomously generate future-state, cloud-ready application designs without leaving the AWS Transform interface. The integration enables businesses to modernize dated workflows and accelerate time to value by transforming legacy processes into agile modern workflows.
