In today's high-velocity business environment, the ability to rapidly develop and deploy digital solutions has become a critical competitive differentiator. Yet enterprises continue to face significant bottlenecks in the application design phase, with traditional processes consuming weeks of valuable time before development can commence.
Pega GenAI BlueprintTM is the future of application design. It is a collaborative workspace that combines the power of generative AI with Pega best practices to dramatically accelerate the application design process and revolutionize the landscape of digital transformations. It is a game-changer! Do you remember when creating an application design felt like an endless marathon, stretching on for weeks? Those days are over! With Blueprint, teams and organizations can converge on a vision in hours, not days. Powered by the speed of generative AI and enriched by built-in industry expertise, Blueprint is the fastest way to connect clients' goals and processes into an application design.
Pega GenAI Blueprint is a powerful tool that helps you rapidly design the foundations of an application that fulfills your business needs by using the power of Pega GenAI™. This innovative software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering uses advanced generative AI to transform how business and IT teams collaborate on creating mission-critical applications. By integrating AI with a collaborative design approach, Blueprint significantly reduces the time you need to develop end-to-end applications, enabling rapid business transformation.
The application design bottleneck
The conventional application design lifecycle has long represented a substantial impediment to digital transformation initiatives. The process typically unfolds as follows:
- Multiple discovery sessions with business stakeholders
- Requirements documentation and validation cycles
- Iterative design reviews and approvals
- Technical specification development
- Hand off to development teams
This approach routinely consumes 4-6 weeks before a single line of code is written, creating a significant lag between business need identification and solution delivery. In a market where speed-to-value is paramount, this represents an increasingly untenable constraint.
Supercharge your enterprise: AI-powered design transformation
Pega GenAI Blueprint fundamentally reimagines the application design process through a sophisticated AI-driven approach that compresses weeks of design work into minutes. The platform utilizes generative AI in conjunction with Pega's extensive industry knowledge — accumulated through decades of enterprise implementations — to automate and accelerate critical design activities. Blueprint eliminates the tedious requirements-gathering sessions that traditionally consume valuable time and resources.
Blueprint injects best practices into complex processes and offers faster prototyping by helping you create multiple solution alternatives. Most importantly, Blueprint enables business and IT teams to align more effectively, bridging communication gaps that might be more difficult to overcome with traditional design thinking methods. Let's see how Blueprint streamlines your application design through:
1. Describing your business problem
Users can explain their business requirements using natural language, eliminating the need for technical specifications. Or, instead of starting from scratch, users can upload multiple supporting documents in various formats that outline their business processes and provide other supporting information. For example, users can accelerate the overhaul of their current business process by uploading existing documentation in the form of DOCX, PDF, and BLUEPRINT files that contain process specifications and charts. Pega GenAI can analyze the files that users upload, summarize their content, and then suggest Workflows, a Data Model, and Personas for their application. The system's AI engine processes this input, extracting intent and contextualizing it against enterprise needs. This helps with incorporating legacy knowledge from existing systems early on.
2. Reviewing and customizing AI-generated design
Within moments, the system produces a comprehensive application design that incorporates industry best practices and optimized workflows. You can then customize the AI-generated workflow details and define data objects to generate and inform integrations that fit your specific business scenario. This represents the distillation of thousands of successful implementations across various industries.
3. Refining Data and Personas
Pega GenAI Blueprint enables you to refine the data objects and define the personas that interact with the application, ensuring that all of your stakeholders' needs are addressed. This step allows for precise alignment with specific business requirements, without necessitating technical expertise.
4. Providing previews across Channels
Preview the application to see how it renders across different channels for all personas, ensuring a consistent and effective user experience before moving to development. This visual validation helps identify potential issues early in the process.
5. Going live in half the time: Seamless implementation
The completed design can be downloaded and directly imported into your Pega Platform™ environment, enabling immediate prototyping and accelerated development. Turn your Blueprint into a new Pega Infinity™ application in seconds to instantly prototype your vision and turbocharge development. This eliminates the traditional design-to-development hand-off that often introduces delays and misinterpretations, enabling organizations to achieve deployment in a fraction of the usual time.
Enterprise-grade capabilities
Beyond mere acceleration, Pega GenAI Blueprint delivers sophisticated tools and features that address enterprise-scale challenges:
1. Industry-specific intelligence
Blueprint incorporates vertical-specific templates and patterns that reflect regulatory requirements and industry best practices across sectors, including financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, and many more.
2. Get a head start using legacy knowledge
For organizations undertaking modernization initiatives, Blueprint offers particularly compelling value. The AI analyzes legacy application documents and requirements to instantly build new cloud-ready, optimized workflows. This feature dramatically accelerates digital transformation by preserving valuable institutional knowledge, while enabling modern implementation approaches. Instead of starting from scratch, enterprises can use their existing process documentation as a foundation for next-generation solutions, while significantly reducing both risk and time-to-market. For example, users can now import an existing application as a .blueprint file to Pega GenAI Blueprint, to use as a starting point for designing a similar application.
3. Collaborative governance
The platform provides a shared workspace that bridges the traditional divide between business and IT stakeholders. This collaborative approach ensures alignment throughout the design process without requiring access to development environments, democratizing participation while maintaining governance.
Quantifiable business impact
