Market Status: Slow, High Cost, Complex Off-Ramps from COBOL
As enterprises look to deploy AI agents at scale, modernizing their mainframes to take advantage of the future of agents has become a top priority. However, these efforts 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 navigate costly and time-consuming lift-and-shift migrations that can replicate traditional inefficiencies in the cloud.

The unique combination of Pega Blueprint AI and AWS Transform composable solutions enables organizations to discover applications and extract business rules from COBOL systems and reimagine them for the digital world. AWS Transform analyzes your COBOL code and generates complete documentation that captures proven business rules, logic, processes, and data structures. Powered by Gen AI and leveraging industry best practices, Pega Blueprint AI takes this output and autonomously generates future-state, cloud-ready application designs without ever leaving the AWS Transform interface.
The seamless integration of AWS Transform and Pega Blueprint AI allows businesses to move quickly and lose nothing in their digital transformation journey, with the following benefits:
- Rethink outdated workflows: The new Pega Blueprint AI agent in AWS Transform leverages this analysis and integrates it with the latest industry best practices and regulations to transform traditional mainframe processes into agile, reliable, modern workflows. Pega Blueprint AI can also capture demos, screenshots, BPMN files, SQL files, and more to ensure the final application retains business context, rules, data models, and integrations.
- Accelerate time to value: Pega Blueprint AI, based on industry best practices, enables organizations to rethink outdated processes that are holding them back. This fast, intuitive, and iterative methodology gives organizations the digital foundation they need to compete in the AI economy.
