Persistent Systems is a digital engineering and enterprise modernization firm with 35+ years in software engineering. As of FY26, the company reported $1.654 billion in revenue with 27,500+ employees across 18 countries. The firm operates a boutique approach focused on enterprise clients migrating to cloud, though its scale and public market status (market cap $8.1B as of March 2026) position it as a mid-market to large enterprise vendor rather than a specialized shop.

Services and capabilities

Persistent's service portfolio spans AI, cloud infrastructure, data engineering, customer experience transformation, intelligent automation, security, and application development. The company has built proprietary AI platforms including Persistent.AI (for enterprise AI readiness and agentic AI), iAURA 2.0, GenAI Hub, and SASVA 3.0. It offers Persistent Intelligent IT Operations for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, data stack modernization, robotic process automation, Salesforce implementation, and managed security services.

The firm holds partnerships with major vendors including AWS, Microsoft, Google, Databricks, ServiceNow, Salesforce, OutSystems, Appian, Kong, Red Hat, Zscaler, and NVIDIA. Its marketplace catalogs solutions across cloud infrastructure, business applications, modernization, intelligent automation, data analytics, customer experience, enterprise applications, security, and IoT.

Industry verticals served include banking and financial services, insurance, healthcare, life sciences, industrial, software and hi-tech, telecom and media, and consumer tech. The company has published case studies showing measurable outcomes: a technology provider achieved $1M+ in annual savings through GenAI-powered sales enablement; a healthcare client saw claims processing automation boost efficiency by 66%; a mobility services provider projected $1.2M in annual savings from VMware infrastructure modernization.

Notable work

Persistent's public case studies name specific outcomes without always naming end clients by full legal name. One top-10 DNVB (direct-to-consumer) home goods company reinvented loyalty programs in global ecommerce. A healthcare member matching solution achieved 2x faster care delivery. A technology provider unlocked $1M+ annual savings using GenAI for sales enablement. Another client's claims processing automation improved member experience and boosted efficiency by 66%. A global mobility services and cloud provider underwent enterprise service operations transformation. A network automation leader modernized VMware infrastructure using Nutanix with projected $1.2M in savings.

The company has received recognition from Everest Group as a Leader and Star Performer in Software Product Engineering Services PEAK Matrix 2026, and was named a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Custom Software Development Services.
