HCLTech and Pegasystems Expand Partnership to Drive AI-Led Enterprise Modernization

HCLTech, the global technology services firm, has unveiled an intensified partnership with Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA) aimed at helping organizations modernize their enterprise systems through artificial intelligence. The expanded engagement brings together HCLTech AI Force and Pega Blueprint™ to enable rapid conversion of outdated systems into cloud-native, AI-driven applications that enhance business agility and operational performance.

Legacy infrastructure remains a significant challenge for many organizations worldwide, creating substantial costs, operational risks and inefficiencies through fragmented, aging technology platforms. The joint offering addresses this through AI-led discovery and modernization capabilities designed to maximize returns on Pega platform investments.

The collaboration centers on several key capabilities. Generative and agentic AI technologies automate the process of identifying, documenting and transforming legacy systems, substantially reducing manual work and shortening implementation timelines. Rather than simply migrating existing systems, the solution enables complete retirement of legacy infrastructure by generating modern application architectures, automated processes and migration-ready data formats.

The initiative incorporates extensive industry knowledge accumulated by both HCLTech and Pega, ensuring transformation programs remain scalable, robust and aligned with sector-specific requirements. Organizations gain access to AI-first business models that reduce technical debt, lower overall ownership expenses and create opportunities for new revenue generation. The framework also streamlines the movement of modernized applications to cloud environments, supporting ongoing enhancement and continuous innovation.

"Our enduring relationship with Pega continues to generate meaningful breakthroughs," said Sadagopan Singam, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Enterprise Platforms and Edge Services, Digital Business Services at HCLTech. "By integrating HCLTech AI Force with Pega Blueprint, we are making the modernization of aging systems more efficient, more intelligent and more dependable. This approach embodies our commitment to leading AI-powered business transformation while delivering measurable value and minimizing operational disruption."

John Higgins, Chief of Client and Partner Success at Pega, stated: "The market demands that organizations modernize their legacy applications at pace while preserving enterprise-grade stability, security, resilience and governance. Through collaboration with HCLTech and the application of AI Force capabilities within Pega Blueprint, we enable our clients to advance application and workflow modernization with accelerated delivery, superior quality and tangible business results. We look forward to deepening this partnership with HCLTech and supporting organizations in reimagining and transforming their legacy systems."
