We use the Pega Unified CRM for Marketing, Sales Automation, and Customer Service. This addresses the issue we had in how we tracked our sales process and also how we support our customers after the sale is completed. The ability of the Unified CRM Platform to go from Marketing to Lead to Opportunity to Support is essential to our business.

We are service providers for our customers and we are suggesting our customers use Pega for Business Process Management. As we don't have to have to build the system from the scratch. We design the Business Process Flow for our Finance processes. We can have dashboards, reports and also many administrative tasks. There are also notifications/integration as well as SLA escalations built in the tool.

We are using the Pega platform to build custom workflow applications across the organization. I am leading the effort for our back office work to seamlessly orchestrate and automate complex service requests for our customers. We have engaged E&Y to help build a foundation framework where each workflow use case can leverage the common structures.

Pega is used for Workflow type applications as well as to leverage Pega's Rapid Application Development. Pega is used by many applications where Pega's inbuilt capabilities like Work Management (work basket, Worklist), assignment, SLAs, Decision rules, latest UI features etc are required. Pega also provides integration support as well as option to expose services from the Pega app.

The Pega Platform is implemented for our clients by our Pega consultants. The platform is used by analysts, developers and a number of other roles within a single Pega implementation project. While Pega addresses a variety of business problems, I've found that intelligent next best action is currently the hottest pain point which Pega helps to solve.

It is one of the finest BPNM tools out there and has been used to provide a solution to partially automate many processes for which a team of 10 to 15 people was required earlier. Used an established framework also helped in saving a lot of money in research and development of a completely new in-house tool.
