The companies aim to collaborate on addressing industry use cases and joint go-to-market activities

Pegasystems announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud that will help enable joint clients to accelerate their digital transformations with Pega’s low-code enterprise software on Google Cloud’s highly scalable cloud services. As part of the agreement, Pega will make Pega Cloud applications available on Google Cloud as a fully hosted and managed as-a-service offering. In addition, Pega and Google Cloud will collaborate on addressing new industry-specific use cases and joint go-to-market activities and will bring Pega Infinity applications to the Google Cloud Marketplace.

The partnership is consistent with Pega’s cloud choice strategy, allowing clients to decide how they want to deploy Pega, providing the choice, flexibility, and support to configure their cloud environment to best suit their needs and adapt to business changes. Pega clients now have a second Pega Cloud option on which to host their Pega applications, fully managed by Pega, which powers millions of automated processes and billions of customer interactions every day for some of the most critical organisations in the world. The combined solution will provide clients with a secure and reliable path to modernising their software infrastructure with the flexibility to help them easily scale and adapt as their needs change.

In addition, the partnership brings additional strategic elements that will help drive growth and opportunity for both companies, including:

  • Joint go-to-market activities: The two companies will collaborate on go-to-market activities on co-selling, field sales enablement, migration accelerators, and marketing activities. Google will also offer accelerators and incentives to support clients using Pega software on-premises who wish to migrate to Pega Cloud running on the Google Cloud Platform.
  • Exploration of new industry use cases: Pega will partner with Google Cloud to identify opportunities where capabilities from both companies can address customers’ use cases in key industries, beginning with telecommunications, healthcare, and financial services.
  • Pega availability on Google Cloud Marketplace: Pega solutions from its core Pega Infinity software suite – including Pega Customer Service, Pega Customer Decision Hub, Pega Sales Automation, and Pega Platform, will be listed and available for purchase on Google Cloud Marketplace. This will make it easy for Pega Cloud clients on Google Cloud to purchase and deploy the Pega software they need when they need it to drive their business.

Pega Infinity applications for Pega Cloud clients on Google Cloud will be available by the end of Q2 2022, starting with the Pega Platform. Other Pega Infinity solutions and regions are planned to go online over the next 18-24 months. This year, Pega Infinity solutions are expected to be available on Google Cloud Marketplace by the end of Q3.
