The organization presently utilizes the platform to support Grievance and Appeals as part of claims processing for our customer service teams. The decision hub is utilized as a platform to help coordinate workflow and approvals and reviews for grievance and appeals platform. Pega Customer Decision Hub allows for business rules and governance.
  • establish clear business rules
  • easy utilize
  • business rules customization is very difficult
  • costs to customize the platform is very difficult and expensive
overall the platform does very well for what it was intended to do. however, when unique business customization must occur, it is very expensive and time consuming. it forces the organization to address sunk cost and does not support simple customizations.
  • business rules
  • integration to our existing systems.
  • it has been incredibility expensive to implement and so it's ROI did not vet out to the original business case, as a result the cost provide a usable solution was incredibility expensive
Pega Customer Decision Hub doesn't provide the automation that sales force provides

We support several departments on our organization. Customer Engagement is one of our main areas.
  • Pega integrates multiple channels on Customer Service into one central system.
  • Pega accelerates the customer relations with the organization and delivers higher rates of customer satisfaction.
  • Pega implements several solutions to target all customer needs for service support.
  • Pega Customer Engagement Suite is ready to use out of the box with several features, but custom development is always needed.
  • Although new features can be quickly implemented, they have to go through a screening Business analysis process, QA screening and SCRUM based development.
  • Pega eliminates the need for custom code, but there are rare cases where an specific requirement has little to no support from Pega, and implementing custom code can break OOB functionality and make the system unstable.
Customer Relatioship Management, Healthcare, Insurance. All of these are target organization sectors where Pega is well-suited.
  • Customer Relationship processes can be accelerated with the Pega platform, and hence, ensuring a better engagement.
  • Pega needs a lot of maintainability support on development, but little support on deployment.
  • Pega provides several channels to connect with the Customer and attract new possible customers.
I have no used other Customer Engagement products outside of Pega.

It is being used in one department in my organisation i.e AES (Application Engineering Services) and helps manage customer engagement across multiple interaction channels.
  • Ability to design agent workflows
  • Integration is done very easily with all the wizards that the product provides.
  • Ability to design custom integrated campaigns
  • Pega Customer Engagement Suite is a Pretty Expensive tool and many small organizations cannot afford the high price for licensing and cloud implementation.
  • A major shortfall for Pega is its integration capability.
  • There should be better documentation regarding out of the box functionality and what the product can do.
The integrated experience helped us drive intelligent campaigns and meaningful conversations throughout the customer journey.
  • The customer engagement suite has provided the ability for customers to submit their own claims
  • Overall customer experience enhancement
  • It has provided a wealth of out-of-the-box functionality that we could start using immediately without any coding.

The customer suite is being used by an organization within Anthem and it is being used for a claims systems.
  • UI building. The UI is very easy to build due to the drag and drop aspect of it.
  • It is very easy to build for reuse with the frameworks that Pega provides as well as the ones you create yourself.
  • Integration is done very easily with all the wizards that the product provides.
  • The help documentation needs to be more in depth and provide some How-Tos.
  • The should be better documentation regarding out of the box functionality and what the product can do.
For any claims system that allows the customer to submit the claims themselves.
  • The customer engagement suite has provided the ability for customers to submit their own claims.
  • It has provided a wealth of out of the box functionality that we could start using immediately without any coding.
It is very similar because the Engagement Suite is built on top of the Pega Platform.

Pega PRPC Customer Engagement Suite offers an array of products for Business Process Management. It is developed on Java and uses OOP and java concepts. It is used for automating, measuring and optimizing business processes. It can also help to automate workflow and collaboration to provide meaningful metrics to business leaders.

Usage & Solution to the business problems:
1) Pega provides a platform for describing business processes and workflow in a way that the descriptions get turned more-or-less directly into the software, or at least turned into requirements that have a fighting chance of getting through the translation into the software.
2) Used for maintaining the life cycle of a Drug undergoing research and development.
3) Dashboard/Reports development, Maintenance & download to excel/PDF
4) It provides notifications/integration as well as SLA escalations built in the PRPC.
  • Pegasystems is a leader in the field of BPM software and is active worldwide. Pega is considered the market leader in BPM solutions by Gartner and Forrester. With the PegaRULES Process Commander (PRPC for short), Pegasystems enables companies to set up processes that are efficient, flexible and transparent
  • The software offers many possibilities for building an application in a short time and easily integrating it into existing systems in your organisation. Pega supports the common protocols for making these links. Applications are built in a reusable and flexible way without hard-coding anything into the system. This enabled changes to be carried out by authorised users and/or administrators.
  • Pegasystems is the leading provider of enterprise-class business process management software and solutions. Pega BPM puts business users in control of business process management, with features such as highly intuitive process design tools and automated generation of application code. The result is less reliance on technologists and greater process agility.
  • A major shortfall for Pega is its integration capability, unlike IBM BPM which is integration-centric. IBM comes with an array of products which suits needs of varying degree.
  • Advanced integration is solved by BPEL Process Server which has support for state-based patterns and mediation. Dynamic rules and event management can be solved with WODM, Cloud to on-premise connectivity with Cast Iron, Enterprise gateway and security use cases with DataPower, Social BPM with IBM BPM, WODM, Mobile app development with Worklight.
  • Pega Customer Engagement Suite is a Pretty Expensive tool and many small organizations cannot afford the high price for licensing and cloud implementation.
PRPC is a BPM and Case management suite from Pega Systems. Pega is a comprehensive suite which offers a unique theme of BPM development in the market. A no-coding approach based on rules with inheritance makes Pega a very powerful product but is very difficult to learn. Even, if we go to Pegasystems for training, we have to work on a project at least for a year to have some confidence. Areas where it requires improvements:

1) One of the first things that client's IT department questions about is proprietary BLOB column in PRPC, for them, it is a disadvantage, but as we all know BLOB is what makes the highly complex data model of any BPM application fit inside to a common schema which eliminates the help of a DBA.

2) Another area of improvement is: when using the wizards to generate rules (such as the connector wizards) you have to be careful about the level of coupling between the work object's data model and the interface's data model. This can also create maintenance issues.

3) The complete Pega suite of products have a long time to develop and deploy and it can be easily done using other low-cost software.
  • Pega implementation provides an Incremental Revenue on manual conversions from file systems & workflow automation. We have an example of the incremental revenue for health care claims approval & it was 78% for the total volume of claims received in a quarter.
  • Pega application development has censing fees, upgrade costs, training costs, secondary hardware and software overhead, additional FTEs and headcount increases, because chances those costs are very real and often much higher than the original price tag. Hence, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is very high and the benefits will be realized in a few years.
  • As enterprises focus on ROI analyses related to IT investments, there are multiple methodologies that serve to provide a complete picture of the total economic impact of purchase decisions of PRPC. The organizations wanted to improve key contact center KPIs around customer satisfaction, including incremental conversions, higher order values or lifetime values, and higher retention and loyalty using PRPC and it gets measured using ticketing systems, surveys, and multiple metrics. Quantitatively capturing implementation risk and impact risk by directly adjusting the financial estimates results provides more meaningful and accurate estimates and a more accurate projection of the ROI.
