Enterprises are increasingly faced with the imperative to deliver exceptional customer experiences by integrating applications and data that are deployed on-premises, on the cloud, and via hybrid platforms.

Combined with Software AG's mission to provide digital products that simplify a connected world, this new partnership will enable clients to address these challenges as well as improve processes, better manage costs, and enable greater employee productivity.
Persistent and Software AG will partner on joint go-to-market activities, including the development of industry solutions and accelerators for Healthcare and Life Sciences; Banking, Financial Services and Insurance; and Telecommunications. The newly created Professional Services Center of Excellence, which will be powered by large talent base of Persistent-trained engineers, will bring the domain and technical strength needed to deliver these solutions to solve client business needs.

"The challenges facing organizations are getting more complex than ever: whether that's managing distributed workforces, disrupted supply chains or myriad trade regulations. And it all has to be done against a backdrop of an unpredictable economy. These challenges won't completely go away, but what we can remove is some of the complexity of tackling them. We're looking forward to partnering with Persistent and its huge team of industry and solution experts, to help more customers to simplify their connected worlds."
