Pega Launches Revolutionary AI Tool for Lotus Notes Transformation

On January 20, 2026, Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), known as The Enterprise Transformation Company™, unveiled its latest innovation, the Notes to Blueprint™ tool. This new offering aims to assist organizations in swiftly transforming outdated Lotus Notes applications into efficient automated processes hosted in the cloud. By harnessing the AI design capabilities of Pega Blueprint™, Notes to Blueprint empowers enterprises to gain insights into their existing Lotus Notes environments, retire ineffective workflows, and reimagine them in a more effective manner.

Despite the advancement of technology, approximately 34,000 organizations worldwide still rely on aging Lotus Notes and Domino systems for critical processes such as approvals, claims, escalations, and document management. The continued use of these legacy systems leads to substantial costs—estimated at $370 million wasted annually per organization—stemming from maintaining technical debt. This situation ultimately results in decreased employee productivity, poor customer experiences, and significant resource losses. The challenge of modernization is compounded by a lack of visibility into the inner workings of these deeply embedded Notes installations. Documentation is often scarce, and logic is dispersed across various components, making the unwinding of these systems a daunting and time-consuming task.

The Notes to Blueprint tool, which builds on assets recently acquired from the legacy transformation provider Adopteq, provides enterprises with the most comprehensive platform for modernizing Lotus Notes applications. It offers several key features:

Notes to Blueprint securely analyzes Lotus Notes databases, delivering a portfolio analysis that reveals the size, activity, complexity, and utility of applications. This insight allows organizations to gauge the full scope of their modernization projects.

The tool scans proprietary NSF databases to create a thorough analysis of application functionalities, including data structures and automation scattered across LotusScripts, forms, and agents.

Organizations can import the data and processes analyzed by Notes to Blueprint directly into Pega Blueprint, where design agents work to reimagine previously fragmented logic into cohesive processes that incorporate industry best practices and AI functionalities.

Pega Blueprint facilitates the automatic mapping of extracted document-centric data structures into new relational data models, ensuring immediate accessibility via modern cloud integration APIs and data streams. This feature helps enterprises unlock and scale previously trapped data across their operations.

With the transition to a new modern environment on Pega Cloud®, organizations can eliminate expensive on-premise database infrastructure and streamline maintenance, support, and licensing costs.

To further ease the Lotus Notes transformation process, Pega has partnered with Capgemini, offering a comprehensive modernization solution available on AWS Marketplace. This joint solution combines Notes to Blueprint and Pega Blueprint with Capgemini’s CAALM (AI-assisted Legacy Modernization) services, which encompass data migration, validation, testing, and change management. This holistic approach enables enterprises to efficiently transition away from their legacy systems.

Damon Lockwood, Vice President of Intelligent Automation Strategy at Pega, remarked, “Legacy systems like Lotus Notes have become one of the biggest obstacles to enterprise agility. Transforming these deeply embedded systems can be extremely costly and time-consuming while more nimble competitors lap them in the market. By combining AI-powered design with advanced migration services, Pega gives organizations a faster, more reliable way to modernize collaboration and unlock the full potential of digital transformation.”

Stephan Kolarik, Global Vice President of Digital Customer Experience at Capgemini, added, “The joint solution combines Notes to Blueprint and Pega Blueprint with Capgemini’s CAALM services and expertise. This complete solution gives enterprises a holistic approach to reducing dependency on their legacy estates.”

With the introduction of Notes to Blueprint, Pegasystems is positioning itself as a leader in the modernization of legacy systems, particularly Lotus Notes. As organizations seek agility in an increasingly digital landscape, tools such as Notes to Blueprint may prove essential in overcoming the challenges posed by outdated applications. Clients and partners can access the new tool through Pega Marketplace and explore the joint solution with Capgemini on AWS Marketplace, marking a significant step toward a more modern, efficient enterprise environment.
