Persistent Announces Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS to Accelerate Generative AI Adoption

Persistent Systems (BSE and NSE: PERSISTENT), a global Digital Engineering and Enterprise Modernisation leader, announces a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate the pace of innovation and development of generative AI solutions for clients. Persistent is a long-standing AWS Partner and has a proven track record of early scale generative AI adoption across multiple industry verticals leveraging services like Amazon CodeWhisperer and Amazon Bedrock. Amazon CodeWhisperer provides generative AI-powered code recommendations directly in multiple integrated development environments (IDEs) to help developers build applications quickly in more than 15 coding languages; Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that makes foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies accessible via an API to build and scale generative AI applications.          

This strategic collaboration with AWS will help Persistent to further increase the impact it delivers to its clients that are embracing generative AI. Through this teaming, Persistent will have access to additional resources from AWS to build proofs of concept to help clients identify tangible business outcomes from generative AI. This will also support use case discovery and rapid build out of solutions with additional go-to-market funds from AWS. One of the key benefits to combined clients will be continued early access to AWS’s generative AI services and investments that will help clients with their aspirations around growth, time-to-market, and better customer experience.  

The Strategic Collaboration Agreement builds on Persistent’s 30+ years of software engineering heritage, its best practices from more than 120 AWS engagements for cloud migration and modernization, and its 2,500 AWS practitioners to enable flexible and scalable generative AI-powered solutions tailored to clients’ unique needs. Persistent’s AWS Migration Competency status provides proven cloud expertise to help clients move successfully to AWS through all phases of complex migration projects. This collaboration reflects Persistent’s proficiency in building robust cloud infrastructure, crucial in today’s cloud-first, AI-first world, enabling clients to implement cloud-powered generative AI solutions.    

These combined assets from AWS and Persistent can bolster the value provided to joint clients, helping them unlock the full potential of their technology investments.  

Rajiv Sodhi, Senior Vice President – Hyperscaler Business & Strategic Alliances, Persistent:   

“Enterprises across industries are looking to tap into the transformative potential of generative AI to reimagine, redefine, and rethink their business models for improved customer experiences and business growth. Combined with our newly acquired AWS Migration Competency status and our SCA, AWS will help us scale generative AI adoption among our clients so they can identify and implement use cases where this technology can have a real impact. We remain committed to helping clients reach their technology goals by leveraging the agility, breadth of services, and rapid innovation that AWS provides.”   

Quan Yang, Vice President of Research IT, Regeneron: 

“Generative AI unlocks new opportunities to transform the life sciences industry. We are modernising our legacy research applications to help accelerate the drug development process and simplify workflows. With Persistent’s Digital Engineering expertise, powered by the AWS platform, Regeneron’s research and pre-clinical development teams help bring our new life-savings drugs to market faster.” 

Chris Sullivan, Vice President, Worldwide System Integrator Partners, AWS: 

“We are delighted to be working with Persistent to help our customers accelerate growth, enable business transformation, and enhance their digital experience. Together, we aim to redefine what’s possible with generative AI, setting new standards for efficiency, innovation, and technological advancements.”

LogicMonitor launches log intelligence for IT operations

LM Logs automatically analyses log data, surfaces anomalies and puts logs in context for faster troubleshooting

LogicMonitor, the leading cloud-based IT infrastructure monitoring and observability platform, today announced the general availability of LM Logs, the company’s new cloud-based log intelligence product. With LM Logs, 100 per cent of an organisation’s log data is automatically analysed using machine learning and AIOps algorithms to help IT Operations teams uncover the root causes of alerts and predictively uncover issues before they disrupt the business.

LM Logs uses extensible, out-of-the-box integrations to automatically collect logs from all components of an organisation’s IT infrastructure. It then intelligently analyses these logs to highlight anomalous events using algorithms. These key log events are automatically correlated with metrics in LogicMonitor’s IT infrastructure monitoring platform to provide deep insights that show users why issues are occurring.

“LM Logs eliminates manual processes of what used to take hours, days or weeks to understand the intelligence in log data. LM Logs surfaces meaningful log data automatically and makes it available in the context of existing troubleshooting workflows,” said Kevin McGibben, CEO of LogicMonitor. “LM Logs helps businesses recover time spent context-switching between log file management and monitoring tools, and empowers IT operations teams with the insights they need to resolve issues quickly so they can focus on the customer experience instead.”

LogicMonitor customers who gained early Beta access to LM Logs are already experiencing positive impacts to their businesses. “LM Logs is a game-changing product we already see immense value in,” said Ant Molloy, CEO of Aurora. “LM Logs enables engineers to automatically locate the ‘needle in the haystack’, versus spending hours searching through log data. It reduces escalations and speeds MTTR, making our business more efficient.”

LM Logs is the result of LogicMonitor’s strategic acquisition of Stockholm-based log analytics company Unomaly, which took place in January 2020. Since the acquisition, LogicMonitor has worked to integrate Unomaly’s patented algorithms into LogicMonitor’s existing AIOps capabilities to create a unique cloud-based log intelligence solution.
