CAMBRIDGE, MA — (Marketwire) — 03/20/13 — (NASDAQ: PEGA), the leader in (BPM) and a leading provider of (CRM) solutions, today announced that the (TWC) has selected Pega technology and to improve and revitalize its Unemployment Insurance Benefits System as part of a significant The Commission, which fields 500,000 inbound monthly calls and handles an average of 1 million annual claims, plans to use Pega-s advanced Build for Change® technology to streamline operations and increase business agility in connection with its existing legacy system.
Pega technology enables the agency to quickly develop a solutions layer on its core benefits system that both citizens and employees will want to use. The TWC, charged with providing support services, workforce development and administering unemployment benefits and tax programs, can become more agile and responsive to citizens by modernizing its legacy systems. Recognized nationally for the effectiveness of its Unemployment Insurance Program, the TWC turned to Pega to gain improvements in call handling times and training times, among other business metrics.
Pegasystems offers a more effective way for agencies to leverage existing investments to quickly achieve enhanced functionality at a low total cost of ownership, compared to packaged applications or internal development options. By giving agencies greater ability to manage change quickly and securely, Pega helps achieve greater efficiency and improve citizen services.
As a , Pega is driving successful modernization at more than 20 government agencies, including such as the California Franchise Tax Board, Texas Department of Transportation, Texas County & District Retirement System and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
“Many agencies today are challenged to keep up with accelerated policy changes as they are equipped with an aging infrastructure. Pega is enabling agencies globally to dramatically improve their ability to respond to change. In many cases we are seeing agencies become so agile that they can respond in a matter of weeks to what used to take one year, if not longer.”
“The government agencies we serve are being asked to deliver more functionality at ever higher speeds — even though their legacy systems have not been designed for change. Core systems that state and local agencies have relied upon are becoming obstacles rather than assets. As a leading supplier of IT services to the state, the Cooper team-s significant experience with both the TWC and the benefits of using a Pega solution, will be instrumental in building a foundation for organizational and technology transformation within the Texas Workforce Commission.”
