From decoding complex medical data to analysing CT scans for early detection of lung cancer, Persistent and Google Cloud’s AI-powered solutions create a lasting impact across industries. In a partnership spanning more than a decade, Persistent has teamed its long-standing data and engineering expertise with Google Cloud’s capabilities in enterprise modernisation, AI and machine learning, business intelligence tools, and GenAI. For helping clients leverage the Google Cloud Platform to meet business needs, we were recognised as the APAC Partner of the Year for Infrastructure Modernisation at this year's Google Cloud Next.
As a Google Cloud Premier Partner, Persistent secured early access to Google’s Agentspace — one of only 20 invited adopters — to help clients utilise Google’s Agentic AI to navigate complex business needs. In July 2024, Persistent entered a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Google to co-build GenAI-led, industryfirst use cases to drive scalable adoption across industries. Persistent deploys its data engineering capabilities and deep understanding of the Google Cloud’s AI stack to create solutions that can be readily embedded and scaled for impact.
Persistent continues to expand on this partnership, investing significantly across seven specialisations, most recently acquiring Data & Analytics and Machine Learning Specialisations, and 52 expertise designations. As a highly specialised Global Solutions Systems Integrator (SSI) partner, Persistent showcases a strong track record of its capabilities and expertise in integrating and implementing Google Cloud solutions.

For the past 13 years, AWS and Persistent have partnered to co-drive enterprise cloud journeys with full-stack capabilities borne out of Persistent’s engineering heritage and market-leading AWS cloud solutions. In the last three years, we have expanded this partnership to take AI and Generative AI into enterprise workstreams, following an integrated go-to-market approach where we co-build GenAI solutions with a transformative potential.
Together, we have demonstrated early GenAI adoption across clients with Amazon CodeWhisperer and Bedrock. We have worked behind the scenes with AWS’ engineering teams to pool in early client feedback to hone these products further. As a Premier Tier Partner — an accolade awarded to the top 1% of companies in the AWS Partner Network — Persistent has been a collaborative sounding board for leading AWS GenAI solutions, specifically Amazon Q, a GenAI-powered data analytics and business intelligence tool, where we developed 40 of the 42 connectors, built rules and remediations that were integrated with Amazon Q for Developers, and conducted benchmarking studies to assess productivity gains. For our innovation and thought leadership, AWS awarded Persistent with the status of Lighthouse Partner for Amazon Q.
As part of our Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS, Persistent secures early access to AWS GenAI advancements to create proofs of concepts that help clients envision tangible value from their GenAI strategies.
With our deep integration into the AWS ecosystem and a front-row view of the latest GenAI developments, Persistent has built accelerators that make it easier, more secure, and cost-efficient for enterprises of any size to design and adopt GenAI solutions.

What began as a small security project for IBM in 2002 is now a strategic partnership powering large-scale digital transformation for more than 400 shared customers. A truly collaborative mindset underpins the Persistent and IBM partnership, nurtured during the last 23 years and the engineering of more than 30 IBM products. Today, slightly under 10% of Persistent’s workforce manages the IBM portfolio, including product enhancements and support for Netezza, watsonx, Guardium, Concert, IBM Cloud for VMware, and more.
Persistent’s co-engineering pods deliver these value enhancements through custom development and integration with our technology solutions. For instance, to streamline wastonx’s adoption and scale, we have set up a dedicated Centre of Excellence and Customer Experience Centers with 70+ watsonx proficiency badges, and 15+ watsonx Practitioner Advanced badges. We have also set up a watsonx Lab to build Generative AI proofs of concepts for industry verticals.
Persistent champions innovation through participation in Call for Code, IBM’s annual global hackathon, which brings together builders, developers, and humanitarians to use technology with purpose. Through Call for Code, top solutions receive implementation support from IBM and the Call for Code ecosystem to make a real impact in the communities with the greatest need. The 2024 Call for Code was hosted by Persistent, where the best and the brightest minds worked to create solutions that help communities navigate access to clean water, air, and the environment. Team KindThreads, our own team, was the first runner-up with a watsonx.ai-powered platform that transforms clothing waste into opportunity, empowering local communities to generate income and reduce landfill burden through AI-driven recycling and reuse.
This multifaceted relationship marks our mutual commitment to helping customers confidently onboard AI, driving innovation and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Persistent’s 10-year strong partnership with Snowflake, a leader in data management and analytics, positions us as a top-of-mind partner for data monetisation solutions. Our Snowflake team delivers innovative solutions in data and AI, augmented with Persistent accelerators such as iAURA to transform enterprise data management. Backed by more than 180 Snowflake certified experts and more than 500 Snowflake-trained professionals, Persistent delivers scalable, secure, and industry aligned solutions across data engineering, cloud modernisation, and GenAI adoption. With proven accelerators and deep expertise in Snowflake offerings, Persistent helps clients seamlessly migrate, govern, and monetise data — turning the Snowflake platform into a true engine for innovation.
Persistent partnered with Snowflake to build a modern data management platform for a leading medical technology company to forecast demand, optimise inventory, and streamline shipping operations. Leveraging our domain-aligned data engineering expertise, we developed an AWS-backed Snowflake solution that seamlessly integrates and consolidates data across disparate systems.
To ensure compliance with regulatory standards such as PII and HIPAA, we implemented robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) frameworks and enforced role-based access controls to safeguard sensitive data. We also established clear procedures and security guidelines for the client’s data platform team to maintain operational integrity. Furthermore, Persistent collaborated with the client to integrate Snowflake with Microsoft Sentinel, enabling real-time log auditing and enhancing the overall security posture.
By automating data inputs and eliminating manual consolidation, the platform now delivers timely access to accurate surgical case data, resulting in better forecasting, faster surgical lead times, enhanced productivity, and improved patient outcomes.

Persistent, with its rich data engineering and AI legacy, leverages its partnership with Databricks to co-create enterprise data platforms that help clients adopt data led decision-making, simplify MLOps, and fast-track Generative AI implementations. As a certified Databricks implementation partner, Persistent combines deep domain and technology expertise and Databricks’ recommended data lake architecture so clients across industries can transition to real-time data processing while ensuring security and compliance. Our iAURA platform seamlessly integrates with Databricks to allow enterprises to transform into Agentic AI-driven, scalable, future ready, and data-driven enterprises.
For instance, Persistent partnered with Databricks to co-engineer an enterprise data platform (EDP) for a leading scientific instrumentation, consumables, and software services provider. The client, working with more than 80 enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications and multiple third-party systems, had a data sprawl that was siloed and difficult to monetise for readily available insights. With Databricks, Persistent consolidated the client’s data landscape with an AWS-hosted EDP that enabled reliable, available data for real-time analysis. We simplified data integration from source systems to the EDP by leveraging common frameworks using Databricks notebooks, which required the least amount of coding. This allowed the client to connect more than 1,000 source tables for insights. With our data engineering expertise, Persistent implemented use cases to support analysis across expenditure, supply chain risk, and finance functions, enabling the client to gain richer insights with cross-functional data.
