Pega Expands Blueprint Capabilities to Accelerate Enterprise Modernization with Agentic AI
Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), The Enterprise Transformation Company™, today unveiled expanded capabilities for its revolutionary Pega Blueprint™ platform at PegaWorld®. These enhancements leverage agentic AI to significantly accelerate digital transformation initiatives by converting legacy system assets into modern, cloud-native applications faster than ever before. This advancement addresses a critical challenge for organizations burdened by technical debt and outdated systems that hinder agility and innovation.
According to new research released by Pega, 88% of global IT decision-makers say technical debt limits their ability to compete with more agile rivals. Traditional legacy modernization approaches are time-intensive, often requiring months of manual discovery and analysis. For older systems, proper documentation is frequently nonexistent, forcing IT teams to sift through outdated code written by programmers who are no longer with the organization. Meanwhile, limited IT resources are diverted to maintaining legacy systems instead of driving innovation, leading to customer frustration and missed opportunities.
Pega Blueprint, powered by generative AI, has already transformed application development by reducing project timelines from months to weeks. With these latest updates, Pega expands its capabilities to help organizations rapidly assess and reimagine their legacy systems using a broader array of source inputs. By uploading documents, code analysis files, app screenshots, and even videos of applications in use, organizations can now generate optimized starting points for modern applications. This comprehensive approach empowers business and IT teams to make informed decisions, reduce iteration cycles, and accelerate their transformation journeys.
From Legacy Systems to Cloud-Native Applications in Record Time
Pega Blueprint has revolutionized how clients design and develop new applications. Using simple natural language descriptions, Pega Blueprint combines generative AI with Pega’s industry-leading best practices to create modern workflows infused with agentic automation. Hundreds of global enterprises have already generated thousands of optimized blueprints for diverse business scenarios.
The new agentic AI capabilities further enhance this process, making it easier for organizations to transform their legacy tech debt into automated, cloud-based applications and streamlined customer experiences. Key features include:
- Agentic AI Analysis of Broad Legacy Inputs:
Organizations can upload assets from various sources and file types—such as documents, source code, demo videos, and images—into Pega Blueprint for analysis. The platform also integrates outputs from leading source code analysis tools like AWS Q Developer, Google MAT, and others provided by key Pega partners. This agentic AI-driven analysis extracts valuable insights from disparate sources, enabling users to understand legacy system processes and identify inefficiencies. - Process Insights Across Legacy Assets:
Pega Blueprint synthesizes information from uploaded sources to provide detailed insights into legacy system processes. This fuels the platform’s ability to generate a starting-point application workflow, helping organizations reimagine and retire outdated, inefficient systems. - Accelerated Data Modeling and Integration:
Pega Blueprint already allows users to upload legacy database structures and integration documents to auto-generate the application data layer. The latest enhancements enable the platform to analyze and generate the data fields and object relationships required for a comprehensive data model. This accelerates the migration of legacy data to the cloud and streamlines the integration of new cloud applications with third-party systems.
