Persistent Systems and Kong have formed a strategic partnership to help enterprises securely scale AI adoption. The collaboration will provide a unified control layer for APIs, data, and AI systems, simplifying integration and governance. This aims to accelerate enterprise AI adoption and operationalize GenAI with enhanced security and control.
The partnership is strategic and targets a growing market need (AI adoption), but its direct financial impact is not quantified in the announcement, suggesting a medium-term positive influence.
The announcement details a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing AI adoption and security for enterprises, which is a positive development for the company's market position and service offerings.
Persistent Systems Limited has announced a strategic partnership with Kong, a leader in API and AI connectivity. This collaboration aims to assist enterprises in securely and reliably scaling their Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiatives by providing a unified control layer for APIs, data, and AI systems across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
The partnership positions Persistent as Kong's global systems integration partner. Together, they will focus on simplifying integration, strengthening governance, and accelerating enterprise AI adoption. The core challenge addressed is the secure connection, governance, and operation of AI systems at scale as enterprises move beyond experimentation to production.
This initiative will enable organizations to implement Kong's governed connectivity layer, modernize legacy API environments, enhance governance, and reduce operational costs. It also supports the operationalization of GenAI and agentic workflows with built-in security, observability, and policy-driven controls, including PII protection and centralized access management.
Anand Krishnan, Executive Vice President at Persistent, stated that APIs are becoming the control layer for enterprise AI, and this partnership will help clients transition from fragmented AI initiatives to scalable, production-grade systems. Ken Kim, Senior Vice President at Kong, highlighted the importance of APIs in connecting services and models across complex environments and expressed excitement about Persistent's digital engineering expertise complementing Kong's platform.
