Persistent Systems has solidified a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to expedite innovation and advance generative AI solutions. AWS and Persistent have demonstrated a history of early adoption and widespread implementation of generative AI across various industry verticals. Leveraging tools such as Amazon CodeWhisperer and Amazon Bedrock, the company has harnessed the power of generative AI, facilitating rapid application development across more than 15 coding languages. Amazon CodeWhisperer delivers AI-generated code recommendations directly within multiple integrated development environments (IDEs). At the same time, Amazon Bedrock offers a fully managed service, granting access to foundational models (FMs) from premier AI entities via an API for the development and scaling of generative AI applications.
The partnership signifies a strategic alignment to enhance the impact for clients adopting generative AI. Persistent gains access to additional resources within AWS, empowering the creation of proofs of concept that demonstrate tangible business outcomes driven by generative AI. The alliance also facilitates use case exploration and swift development of solutions, complemented by AWS’s additional go-to-market support. For clients engaging both entities, the collaboration promises early access to AWS’s generative AI services and investments, supporting their growth objectives, accelerating time-to-market, and enhancing customer experiences.
