Accelerating innovation with AWS: Rhino.ai selected as an AWS Pattern Partner
Today, Rhino.ai, the AI platform for transforming legacy applications into modern cloud apps and agentic workflows, joins AWS as a launch partner in the AWS Pattern Partners program.

AWS Pattern Partners Program
As a Pattern Partner, Rhino.ai brings proven success applying AI, machine learning and Generative or Agentic AI on AWS. The program accelerates enterprise adoption through repeatable, scalable patterns that encode tested ways to solve business challenges, supported by architectures, controls and delivery practices that have already been validated with customers.
What This Means for Customers
For customers, Rhino.ai's selection signals that AWS has reviewed and endorsed the outcomes and operating model behind work delivered in these domains. Organizations that need to modernize critical applications, adopt AI safely and respond to evolving regulatory requirements gain access to patterns that have already produced measurable results.
Long-Term Vision
Pattern Partners also sets a long term view for emerging technologies. Near term, the program focuses on AI and agentic patterns such as Process to Agent, Agent to Agent, Responsible AI and RegAI. Over the midterm it expands into connected environments including IoT, robotics and edge. Over the long term it aligns with next generation innovations such as quantum as they mature into reliable patterns.
Our Pattern: Modernization with GenAI and Process2Agents
At the center of Rhino.ai's participation is a set of flagship patterns co developed with AWS: Modernization with GenAI and Process2Agents. The pattern is powered by Rhino.ai's ability to automatically extract, document and structure business logic from legacy applications, SaaS systems and workflows. This logic is translated into Universal Application Notation, Rhino's patented intermediate representation, which creates a unified, machine readable view of a customer's processes and business rules. This structured understanding becomes the blueprint for generating modern cloud native applications and agentic workflows on AWS.
Clear, Repeatable Pathway
The result is a clear, repeatable pathway for enterprises to modernize legacy systems and adopt agents with significantly reduced time, cost and complexity.
The Customer Problem
Organizations across financial services, insurance, government, manufacturing and healthcare face a similar challenge. Logic, data and workflows are embedded in monolithic or disconnected systems. This slows AI adoption and creates uncertainty for engineering, risk and compliance teams. Teams often struggle to understand legacy systems well enough to modernize them. Critical knowledge is trapped inside code, configuration and documents that were never designed to be read in a consistent way. Without a unified representation of this logic, modernization becomes slow, expensive and unpredictable.
Governance Challenges
Organizations also need reliable ways to govern a new generation of LLM powered agents and Vibe coded applications at enterprise scale. With regulations moving quickly, talent and process gaps increase risk and delay transformation. Modernization often stalls not because teams cannot build the target system, but because it is difficult to gain clarity into the system that already exists. Rhino addresses this challenge directly by creating a consistent, reusable requirements layer that removes ambiguity and accelerates design and implementation.
Our Joint Approach with AWS
Together with AWS, Rhino.ai has designed a modernization pattern that includes: An architecture built natively on AWS using key AWS services, Rhino's modernization IP gained from large scale transformation programs, a clear operating model with roles, runbooks, governance and guardrails, and accelerators including integrations, automations, templates, dashboards and agents. By turning fragmented legacy logic into a structured format that downstream AWS services and agentic platforms can consume, the pattern allows customers to move from discovery to pilot to production with greater speed and confidence.
Pattern Maturity
The pattern is being refined through a time boxed incubation with lighthouse customers. As it matures, it becomes a Pattern Package that AWS field teams can deploy consistently across regions and industries.
Early Results
Early adopters are reporting meaningful results. Time to first value often falls within two to four weeks. Modernization cycle times are reduced by two to four times compared to traditional approaches. Costs decrease because extraction and documentation, often the slowest part of modernization, are accelerated significantly.
How the Pattern Partners Program Works with Customers
When customers engage Rhino.ai through the Pattern Partners program, they begin with a proven blueprint. The Pattern Package includes architectures, guardrails and playbooks that have already been applied successfully. Customers receive coordinated support from AWS specialists, the AWS Consulting COE Pattern Partner team and Rhino experts across consulting, engineering and product.
Fast, Responsible Experimentation
The program enables fast but responsible experimentation. Customers can move from idea to live pilot while maintaining enterprise grade security and compliance. The pattern also provides a clear path to scale so organizations can expand from pilots to cross region or multi business unit rollouts with ongoing optimization. Participation in Pattern Partners allows Rhino.ai to bring emerging AWS capabilities to customers earlier. The program creates a consistent approach to modernization that reduces risk, increases predictability and accelerates business impact from AWS investments.
Partner Perspective
"Joining AWS Pattern Partners is a strategic milestone for Rhino.ai. With Modernization with GenAI and Process2Agents, we turn our strongest customer wins into a repeatable path that reduces time, cost and risk in modernization programs. This lets customers move from pilots to production with speed and confidence." - Adam Branch, CEO, Rhino.ai
AWS Perspective
"AWS created Pattern Partners to work with a select cohort of builders who set the standard for how enterprises adopt emerging technology on AWS. Rhino.ai brings deep expertise in Modernization with GenAI and a proven pattern for extracting, documenting and transforming legacy applications into modern AWS apps and agentic workflows. We look forward to scaling this pattern with more customers across industries." - Brian Bohan, Managing Director, Consulting COE, AWS
Next Steps
Customers interested in these patterns can contact Rhino.ai at sales@rhino.ai or rhino.ai/contact to discuss current challenges and identify which patterns are most relevant. Customers who want to explore Modernization with GenAI in depth or evaluate how the AWS Pattern Partners program can support their roadmap can request a focused discovery session. AWS and Rhino.ai will work together to map business challenges to the pattern, estimate impact and define a practical adoption path. Rhino.ai and AWS look forward to helping enterprises turn critical challenges into repeatable, scalable patterns for growth.
