Persistent Announces Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS to Accelerate Generative AI Adoption

This strategic collaboration with AWS will help Persistent further increase the impact it delivers to its clients that are embracing generative AI.

Santa Clara, CA and Pune, India, January 4, 2024, News Summary: Persistent Systems (BSE and NSE: PERSISTENT), a global leader in digital engineering and enterprise modernization, announced a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate the pace of innovation and the development of generative AI solutions for clients. Persistent is a long-standing AWS partner and has a proven track record of early-scale generative AI adoption across multiple industry verticals, leveraging services like Amazon CodeWhisperer and Amazon Bedrock. Amazon CodeWhisperer provides generative AI-powered code recommendations directly in multiple integrated development environments (IDEs) to help developers build applications quickly in more than 15 coding languages. Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that makes foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies accessible via an API to build and scale generative AI applications.

This strategic collaboration with AWS will help Persistent further increase the impact it delivers to its clients that are embracing generative AI. Through this teaming, Persistent will have access to additional resources from AWS to build proofs of concept to help clients identify tangible business outcomes from generative AI. This will also support use case discovery and rapid build-out of solutions with additional go-to-market funds from AWS. One of the key benefits to combined clients will be continued early access to AWS’s generative AI services and investments that will help clients with their aspirations around growth, time-to-market, and a better customer experience.

The Strategic Collaboration Agreement builds on Persistent’s 30+ years of software engineering heritage, its best practices from more than 120 AWS engagements for cloud migration and modernization, and its 2,500 AWS practitioners to enable flexible and scalable generative AI-powered solutions tailored to clients’ unique needs. Persistent’s AWS Migration Competency status provides proven cloud expertise to help clients move successfully to AWS through all phases of complex migration projects. This collaboration reflects Persistent’s proficiency in building robust cloud infrastructure, crucial in today’s cloud-first, AI-first world, enabling clients to implement cloud-powered generative AI solutions.

These combined assets from AWS and Persistent can bolster the value provided to joint clients, helping them unlock the full potential of their technology investments.

Rajiv Sodhi, Senior Vice President – Hyperscaler Business & Strategic Alliances, Persistent:

“Enterprises across industries are looking to tap into the transformative potential of generative AI to reimagine, redefine, and rethink their business models for improved customer experiences and business growth. Combined with our newly acquired AWS Migration Competency status and our SCA, AWS will help us scale generative AI adoption among our clients so they can identify and implement use cases where this technology can have a real impact. We remain committed to helping clients reach their technology goals by leveraging the agility, breadth of services, and rapid innovation that AWS provides.”

Quan Yang, Vice President of Research IT, Regeneron:

“Generative AI unlocks new opportunities to transform the life sciences industry. We are modernizing our legacy research applications to help accelerate the drug development process and simplify workflows. With Persistent’s digital engineering expertise, powered by the AWS platform, Regeneron’s research and pre-clinical development teams help bring our new life-saving drugs to market faster.”

Chris Sullivan, Vice President, Worldwide System Integrator Partners, AWS:

“We are delighted to be working with Persistent to help our customers accelerate growth, enable business transformation, and enhance their digital experience.
