CAMBRIDGE, MA — (Marketwired) — 09/29/14 — (NASDAQ: PEGA), the software company powering the digital enterprise, today announced it has teamed with Equifax (NYSE: EFX), a global information solutions company, to provide a service connector to an industry-leading Equifax processing and delivery platform, called ®. InterConnect provides access to data that is used by organizations to automate account openings, improve cross-selling and manage credit risk and fraud mitigation across the client lifecycle. The combined power of Pega applications, the InterConnect services and Equifax data enables organizations to more effectively manage business decisions to ensure a better customer experience, while reducing risk, reducing cost and increasing revenue.

The connector allows Pegasystems customers to efficiently incorporate Equifax data into their Pega applications without the need for significant additional development. Using the service connector, Pega customers can quickly build applications that leverage the broad range of Equifax data and insights to meet customer needs.

The connector is a strong complement to a number of Pegasystems– financial services applications, including Pega–s New Business For Financial Services and Pega–s Customer Process Manager. Use of the connector requires an Equifax contract and works with applications built on Pega 7.

“Increasing operational efficiency and accuracy is of paramount importance to the success of commercial banks. Having access to timely and relevant data strengthens the ability of banks to deliver products and services faster, provide better customer experience and compete more effectively,” said Ron Wellman, Industry Principal for Commercial Banking at Pegasystems. “The Equifax relationship and the new connector is a key step in ensuring our customers– ability to meet their goals.”

“The newly created connector will afford our two companies even further reach — from the drawing board to deployment — into our customers– decision processes,” said Lisa Nelson, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Alliances, Equifax. “We are excited to partner with Pegasystems, and look forward to many successes with them.”
