Pega Launches AI-Driven Modernization Capability on AWS To Reimagine Legacy Mainframe Apps Into Cloud-Native Systems

AWS Transform now integrates with Pega Blueprint AI to transform aging COBOL code into modern apps

Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the enterprise AI software company for mission-critical work, today 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 experience.

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.
