Persistent Systems and Iris Global Services have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating AI-led enterprise transformation across India, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region. Under the collaboration, Iris Global has been appointed as the Distributor and Growth Partner for SASVA 4.0, Persistent’s AI-powered enterprise engineering platform designed to support software modernization and AI-assisted transformation initiatives.
Partnership Marks Launch of Iris Global’s AI-Driven Growth Strategy
The partnership represents a significant milestone in Iris Global’s evolving business strategy as it moves beyond traditional IT distribution into AI-focused ecosystem enablement. The company recently unveiled “IRIS 2.0,” its first AI-led, solution-driven initiative, highlighting a transition toward enabling partners to deliver measurable business outcomes through AI adoption rather than only providing access to technology.
SASVA 4.0 Designed to Support Enterprise AI Adoption and Software Modernization
At the center of the collaboration is SASVA 4.0, Persistent’s secure AI engineering platform developed to accelerate software development, modernization projects, and enterprise AI implementation. The platform integrates Large Language Models (LLMs), machine learning capabilities, and AI-assisted workflows to automate planning, streamline software engineering processes, and support cloud and code migration initiatives.
Built-In Governance and Security Features Aim to Enable Scalable AI Deployment
SASVA 4.0 incorporates governance, privacy, security, and compliance-oriented controls designed to help enterprises adopt AI in a structured and secure manner. The platform enables organizations to move beyond isolated AI experimentation toward governed, enterprise-grade deployment models. According to early engagements, SASVA has demonstrated potential to reduce software release timelines by approximately 25% to 35%.
Focus on Building an AI Ecosystem for Partners Across Industries
The collaboration aims to establish a broader partner ecosystem capable of delivering AI solutions across industries, with a focus on accelerating system integration, supporting structured AI adoption, and creating long-term enterprise value. The companies emphasized that the next phase of AI transformation depends on moving from experimentation toward scalable execution backed by strong implementation ecosystems.
Strategic Move Strengthens Iris Global’s Position in Enterprise AI
Through the partnership, Iris Global is positioning itself to strengthen its role in the growing enterprise AI market by helping organizations implement AI strategies aligned with business objectives while enabling channel partners to deploy and scale next-generation technologies more effectively.
Enterprise AI Adoption Continues to Gain Momentum Across Industries
The partnership reflects a broader industry trend in which technology distributors and enterprise solution providers are increasingly expanding beyond infrastructure delivery into AI-led transformation services, as demand for operational AI adoption and scalable deployment frameworks continues to rise.
