The partnership combines HCLTech AI Force with Pega Blueprint, with the companies aiming to support organisations transitioning from outdated legacy infrastructure to modern enterprise applications built on the Pega platform.

According to the companies, many enterprises continue to face challenges linked to siloed legacy systems, including high maintenance costs, slow deployment cycles and limited flexibility. The integrated offering is designed to automate key stages of system modernisation, including application discovery, documentation and migration planning.

“Organisations need to seamlessly modernise legacy systems faster, while maintaining enterprise-class scalability, security, resilience and transparency,” said John Higgins, Chief of Client and Partner Success at Pega. “By working with HCLTech and leveraging AI Force within Pega Blueprint, we’re helping clients accelerate application and workflow modernisation with speed, quality and measurable outcomes.”

The companies said the platform uses generative and agentic AI capabilities to reduce manual workloads and speed up modernisation initiatives. It also supports automated workflow generation, migration-ready data structures and cloud deployment capabilities intended to simplify enterprise transformation programmes.

HCLTech and Pegasystems added that the solution incorporates industry-specific frameworks and operational best practices to support organisations across multiple sectors. The partnership also aims to help enterprises move towards AI-driven business models while improving scalability and reducing overall technology operating costs.

The expanded collaboration reflects growing demand among enterprises for AI-enabled system modernisation tools as organisations seek to replace ageing infrastructure with cloud-based platforms capable of supporting automation, analytics and evolving digital business requirements.
