FedRAMP High certification bolsters PEGA's Public Sector cloud growth and revenue visibility.
Pegasystems (PEGA - Free Report) expects strong traction in its cloud-subscription business to continue, which is increasingly driving overall cloud growth. Key initiatives to sustain this momentum include a 5-year strategic collaboration with Amazon’s cloud arm, Amazon Web Services (AWS), as PEGA intends to capitalize on major market trends, including AI, legacy transformation and cloud migration.
In second-quarter 2025, PEGA’s cloud revenues surged 24% year over year to $166.7 million, driven by increasing adoption as clients continued migrating from legacy systems to its cloud-native solutions. The company’s Cloud Annual Contract Value (ACV) increased 28% year over year to $761 million. This robust cloud momentum underscores the increasing impact of subscription revenues on PEGA’s overall performance.
The company’s Gen-AI-powered Blueprint plays a pivotal role in client base expansion. Its latest integration of Amazon’s AWS Transform product is expected to allow enterprises to modernize legacy systems without disruption, directly feeding demand for Pega Cloud.
The availability of the PEGA software on AWS Marketplace will improve accessibility and streamline client onboarding. Each incremental dollar of ACV is expected to boost subscription billings, creating a scalable and predictable revenue stream for the company. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PEGA’s third-quarter 2025 cloud revenues is pegged at $180 million, indicating a 25% year-over-year growth.
PEGA’s Public Sector positioning has strengthened with its FedRAMP High certification, a United States government security standard for cloud services, aligning with the government’s push toward cloud adoption and AI-driven digital transformation. With a 28% growth in current backlog expected to convert to revenue, Pegasystems’ cloud subscriptions remain a key driver of top-line growth.
