Profile

Pegasystems Inc.PEGAInformation Technology

Sells software that combines AI decisioning and workflow automation across customer engagement, customer service, and legacy transformation. A configurable, rules-based approach lets organizations change decisions and processes in real time.

Links AI decisioning with workflow automation for one-to-one customer engagement, customer service, and legacy transformation. Pega Blueprint supports collaborative application prototyping and development, while the wider platform is designed for decisions, service operations, and process change.

Built on a long-running rules-driven software approach, the platform lets organizations alter decisions and processes in real time rather than relying on time-consuming reprogramming. Its development includes robotic process automation, speech analytics, and process mining. A live trade-secrets case with Appian was remanded for a new trial. Founder Alan Trefler remains the chief executive.
