CAMBRIDGE, MA — (Marketwired) — 10/03/13 — (NASDAQ: PEGA), the leader in (BPM) and a leading provider of (CRM) solutions, today announced that the company will be showcasing the newest release of its Build for Change® platform, Pega 7, at the , October 6 – 10, 2013 in Orlando, Florida. Using in-depth analysis of multiple years- worth of client implementation data, Pegasystems designed a host of new enhancements and capabilities into the new release to help accelerate design and deployment of a new solution by over 30 percent.
The increased velocity and volume of business change makes it increasingly difficult for business leaders and change agents to keep new and existing business systems responsive and relevant. Pega helps by dramatically improving customer engagement and providing agility to make, market, and sell products more quickly and profitably.
Pega 7 enables business people to design, execute and manage work as a series of stages in the lifecycle of a case. It dynamically assembles cases, process models, and unstructured work to offer significantly more agility than is possible with alternative business process models. While process professionals can leverage industry standard process notation, the complementary simplicity of case lifecycle management offers a more natural approach for business people. No technical expertise is necessarily required, just a clear understanding of the desired business outcomes.
To help address key challenges in customer acquisition and retention, Pega includes unified analytics to make predictive and adaptive insight actionable in real-time with mass personalized offers and communications. To further help clients evolve from cross-channel to omni-channel, there is new support for responsive design for web and mobile applications, where a single user experience design is available on any device and any screen size.
The latest version also represents an industry-first for BPM and CRM applications by liberating business users from having to think about how and when data is retrieved. The system now takes care of this dynamically, allowing the business designer to focus on optimizing processes rather than constantly remembering to modify often confusing data integration shapes.
Pegasystems also announced new online training courses on Pega 7. Pegasystems will be offering hands-on, in-depth training on the Pega 7 platform at the in Hyderabad, India October 27 – 28, 2013.
Pegasystems will be located at the Disney Yacht & Beach Club Resort, October 6th during the 2013 Gartner Symposium ITxpo in Orlando, Florida.
“We are using Pega to both help us engage with our clients and improve the agility of Finance, IT and supply chain,” said Patrick Patterson, Financial Systems Manager for Jabil Circuit. “For us, the challenge of change is real, and introducing Pega turned our Six Sigma practice into Real-Time Six Sigma. We have watched Pegasystems continue to invest in their platform, and each new release offers us new opportunities to raise the bar by improving customer service and productivity.”
“It takes deep design focus to make increasingly powerful capabilities simpler and easier to use,” said Alan Trefler, Pegasystems Founder and CEO. “And this is exactly what we have done with the seventh major release of our market-leading platform. Business people use Pega to collaborate with IT, rapidly deliver new strategic capabilities, and close gaps between goals and execution. Listening carefully to our clients, we analyzed their deployments and discovered terrific opportunities to simplify use, accelerate implementations, and help eliminate opportunities for error. Early results show our systems are deploying about 30% faster as a result, which is great news for new and current clients. It-s all about building agility to deliver staggering business outcomes, seize new opportunities, and build sustainable competitive advantage.”
“Pega is far more model-driven than other platforms, which is the key to helping to dramatically reduce design, deployment, and training times for our clients,” said Kerim Akgonul, Vice President of Product Management at Pegasystems. “Our Pega 7 release represents a breakthrough in designing and automating case management. Data integration is now much easier and faster, improving our clients- ability to extend and renew their existing legacy systems. Designers will be pleased with how easily elegant and compelling multi-platform user interfaces can be built. We-ve added dozens of new features to help boost power, security, and scalability including new options for multi-tenancy, support for PostgreSQL, and enhanced high availability for both our cloud and on-premises clients.”
