Kerim Akgonul keynote highlights from PegaWorld 2025

You all know, during this last 12 months, the world of technology has been really quiet. It's been really relaxed. Not a lot going on. Technology seems static. The world order unchanged. News organizations can't find anything to write about. So quiet. Who are we kidding? It's been complete chaos out there.

Every day. Everywhere. Everything is changing all the time. There's so much fear and excitement. There's so much uncertainty and opportunity everywhere we look. So we decided to cut through all this chaos, we're going to focus on making blueprint even more powerful than ever before, while maintaining is really easy to use experience. Now, for those of you who don't know, blueprint is a SaaS solution available on Pga.com that uses AI agents to drive transformation. Blueprint is a fit for purpose solution to be able to drive new application design and development and push digital transformation. And since we released it, we had an incredible opportunity to engage with so many incredible organizations across the globe.

But I realize that we're not all out there just building brand new applications all the time. I do want to cover with you all the specifics of the ABCs of legacy transformation with blueprint. So when you come out of this, you're going to remember these ABCs. A talks about your application assets. You all have hundreds, if not thousands of old legacy applications throughout your organization, and you have a lot of assets with those applications. You have user manuals, you have training manuals, you have log files, you have system requirements, you have screenshots. So what you do is you collect all those application assets and move to step B. You import all of them into blueprint. And the AI agents that backup blueprint are just going to go through all of that content, analyze all of those assets and give you a recommendation for layout of a blueprint that allows you to capture all the functionality and the logic in those applications from those assets, and give you opportunity to actually design the future state of those solutions.

Once you spend some real time on blueprint, getting agreement on this is what you want to build, then you move to step C, you push it through a cloud deployment. You now have in pega infinity the outline of your application, the foundation layers of your application of your design actually constructed using the best practices. You can start using it, you can start running it and you can start putting your differentiating capabilities in there.
