Partnering to Transform, Innovate and Re(AI)magine
Persistent’s partner ecosystem is a force multiplier that turns AI innovation into enterprise reality. Across hyperscalers, data platforms and cybersecurity providers, our alliances give us early access to emerging capabilities, deeper co-engineering opportunities and the ability to shape solutions closer to the frontier of what AI can do. Combined with our proprietary accelerators, industry context and end-to-end execution, this allows us to move faster from experimentation to production, embedding intelligence into workflows in ways that are secure, governed and scalable. The result is an ecosystem that helps clients realise AI value not as a future ambition, but as a practical engine of transformation today.
Enterprises that have adopted AWS are increasingly shifting their focus from cloud adoption to maximising business value from AI investments. Persistent is well-positioned to address this opportunity by helping enterprises translate emerging AI capabilities into measurable business outcomes on AWS.
Our differentiation within the AWS partner ecosystem is anchored in our 360-degree relationship and proximity to the hyperscaler. A multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement allows us early access to AWS AI services, including Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Q, enabling us to deliver well-architected solutions to our clients. Combined with deep software engineering expertise and strong domain capabilities, we leverage AWS technology and platforms to develop industry-relevant AI and cloud solutions that help businesses progress from pilots to production-scale deployment with greater agility, speed and confidence.
During FY26, we expanded our capabilities and work across AWS's evolving AI portfolio. Our contributions to Amazon Quick Suite, including action connectors, workflow orchestration and validation support, reflect alignment with AWS's AI-led enterprise modernisation initiatives. Our investments in agentic AI on Amazon Q and AI-powered Amazon Connect deployments are opening new avenues for growth across automation, customer experience and enterprise productivity.
With Premier Tier Partner status (an accolade reserved for the top 1% of AWS partners), continued investments in emerging capabilities and a focus on sector-relevant execution, Persistent continues to strengthen client relationships and participate in this evolving opportunity.

When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took the stage at his AI Tour keynote in India in December 2025, he named Persistent a Frontier Firm and called out AssistX, Persistent's multi-agent ecosystem, as an example of where enterprise AI is headed. That recognition reflects a 33-year partnership that has consistently been early to each Microsoft platform shift and is now positioned at the front of the agentic AI wave.
Few partners cover the full Microsoft stack across applications, cloud and data centres, while also bringing production-grade agentic AI platforms and Copilots to market at the pace enterprise clients now expect.
Enterprise adoption is moving from AI assistance to AI agents that can reason, orchestrate work across systems and drive measurable business outcomes. Persistent helps clients build, deploy and scale secure, governed agentic solutions, alongside domain-specific Copilots that compress time to value for AI-powered applications.
AssistX, the platform Nadella highlighted, is a central, orchestrated multi-agent ecosystem that combines human ingenuity with AIdriven automation across functions such as talent development, project delivery, sales acceleration and leadership decisionmaking. The broader Copilot portfolio spans Client Advisor, Researcher, Chat With Your Data, Document Generator, Conversational Knowledge Mining and Code Generation.
Persistent holds designations across all six Microsoft solution areas with specialisations, operates as a Solution Partner, Direct CSP and Reseller, and brings 7,520+ Microsoft certifications, 50+ IP and assets and 30+ Marketplace offers.
With agentic AI moving from early adoption to enterprise scale, Persistent enters this phase with the credentials, the platforms and the public recognition to lead.

The IBM partnership is one of the most strategically valuable relationships in Persistent's portfolio and has evolved into a meaningful long-term growth engine.
Over 24 years, Persistent has built a 360° relationship with IBM that spans engineering, platform transformation and joint go-to-market, serving more than 400 shared customers globally. In a partnership that goes beyond implementation, Persistent co-engineers IBM technology, having built more than 30 IBM products to date, with just under 10% of the workforce dedicated to the IBM portfolio across Netezza, watsonx, MDM, ELM, Verify, IBM webMethods, Concert and Infrastructure, including Cloud & Power. Few partners in the ecosystem can match this depth and continuity, which allow Persistent to participate in IBM's highest-value programmes.
The commercial momentum rests on three reinforcing pillars. The engineering partnership positions Persistent at the core of IBM's product innovation. Engineering carve-outs allow ownership of strategic IBM assets, driving efficiency and new sources of recurring value. The Sell-With IBM motion expands reach into IBM's customer base, shortening deal cycles and creating a co-sell pipeline that would not be accessible independently.
Over the last year, Persistent expanded its engineering footprint across IBM's core software portfolio, advanced adoption of IBM Data solutions within large enterprise transformation programmes and strengthened the Sell-With motion with an improved cosell pipeline. Active engagement in the IBM Champions and Rising Champions programmes has further elevated our ecosystem influence.
The joint go-to-market is organised around five enterprise priorities: Connected Data Journey; AI-Powered Business Transformation through watsonx; Hybrid Cloud and Automation; Accelerated Migration and Modernisation and Industry Solutions and Accelerators that compress time-to-value.
The partnership is entering a phase where two decades of engineering depth, an expanded AI portfolio and a sharpened joint GTM converge to create durable, compounding value for clients and shareholders alike.

A drug discovery pipeline built on NVIDIA BioNeMo helps pharmaceutical clients reduce the cost and time of early-stage R&D. ProcessIQ, an agentic AI platform for enterprise workflow automation, delivers measurable productivity gains across business operations. A wealth management solution applies NVIDIA's AI capabilities to advisory and portfolio decisioning.
Our joint go-to-market initiatives now span Healthcare, BFSI, Manufacturing, Telecommunications and Retail, with active engagements across leading global pharmaceutical companies.
With closer access to NVIDIA’s engineering teams, early visibility into platform direction and deeper joint solution development opportunities, Persistent cements the foundation to help clients move from AI experimentation to scaled enterprise adoption with greater speed, confidence and business relevance.
NVIDIA Elevates Persistent to Advanced Technology Partner Program
Persistent's elevation to MSSP partner with Palo Alto Networks in 2025 is a marker of capability, not just affiliation. The designation reflects a validated ability to manage security operations at enterprise scale, with the technical depth and operational maturity required by the status. It moves Persistent beyond reselling and deployment into running security operations as a managed, ongoing discipline, positioning Persistent to meet rising enterprise demand for transforming how security is operated.
Where most reseller partners stop at platform deployment, Persistent leads with practitioner-led delivery. Cyber Fusion Centre, our Managed Security Operations Centre offering, is built on Cortex XSIAM and Cortex XSOAR and combines assessment, deployment and 24x7 managed operations under a single execution model. Our Palo Alto-certified teams assess clients' security maturity and roadmap, ensure integration with IT service management, cloud and security information data sources to enable end-to-end security workflows.
Two go-to-market motions extend this position into the broader enterprise market. The Beyond QRadar migration motion targets enterprises moving off legacy security platforms, with proven execution for QRadar-on-Cloud to XSIAM transitions. The Bring Your Own SIEM model allows enterprises that prefer to retain their existing security investment to add automation, playbooks and simplified overwatch, broadening the addressable opportunity for Persistent.
Early client outcomes validate the model. For a portfolio of US-based clients, Persistent has reduced security alert acknowledgement and response times by 60% through XSOAR-led hyperscale automation, while also enabling automated containment actions for high-severity malware events.
With the MSSP designation secured and a client portfolio scaling across the US, UK and India, Palo Alto Networks represents one of Persistent's most promising new alliances in a high-growth category.

In just three years, the Databricks partnership has evolved from a new alliance to one of the fastest growth vectors in Persistent's portfolio, a trajectory that reflects both the depth of our data engineering heritage and the growing enterprise demand for the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform amongst our client base.
While most Databricks partners compete on technical implementation, Persistent competes on data sanity and Responsible AI frameworks that govern production-grade AI models. This is the cornerstone of enterprise AI scale-up, where most adoption stalls between proof of concept and production. Persistent's deep data engineering heritage empowers clients to overcome this barrier with the governance, quality and trust frameworks that production AI demands. For instance, we helped the US arm of one of Japan's largest banks modernise its Databricks environment through automated governance, a standardised data playbook and an AI-driven data quality framework, delivering 100% governance compliance, around 70% reduction in manual effort, while also optimising cloud costs.
This positioning is further reinforced by our investments in IP and industry depth. Persistent’s iAURA Suite of accelerators is listed on the Databricks Brickbuilder Solutions, placing Persistent among a select group of partners with productised assets in the ecosystem. iAURA was featured in Databricks' GenAI H2 Campaign and Persistent was recognised as part of the Lakebase Launch Partner List. Industry-specific solutions such as Risky Merchant Detection for BFSI, Clinical AI-Site Selection for Healthcare and Life Sciences and Supply Chain Analytics for Retail extend this IP into revenue-generating use cases.
External validation has accelerated alongside execution. Persistent secured the HLS Brickbuilder Specialisation and finished second among 100 Databricks Rising Partners in the Q4 Certification Challenge, achieving more than 500 certifications in a single quarter. This signals how rapidly the alliance is gaining momentum and earning recognition within the Databricks ecosystem.
As enterprise data modernisation becomes the precondition for AI at scale, Persistent is positioned to convert this momentum into a meaningful growth contribution.
