- 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.
- 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.
