CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the software company that crushes business complexity, today announced the launch of Pega Partners – a new streamlined partner program that will help clients rapidly accelerate their digital transformation (DT) initiatives. With new benefits and resources designed to bring more agility to its growing ecosystem, the new program will provide a deeper and more accessible range of partner skills and solutions for clients racing to keep pace with their markets.
To achieve rapid results and persistent transformational value, companies are increasingly turning to experienced partners to speed their digital transformation journey. But finding, onboarding, and collaborating with the right partner can be a journey unto itself. It can take a significant amount of effort to validate a partner with the right expertise, establish the right delivery methods, and get the centralized support they need to see a return on investment.
With the new Pega Partners program, Pega clients will more easily identify and collaborate with the right pre-qualified partners across a range of technology and industry solutions – from intelligent automation to customer service to 1:1 customer engagement. New centralized resources, including a new Pega Partner portal and the enhanced Pega Marketplace, will help ensure Pega and its partners are in lockstep to quickly and efficiently deliver solutions that drive impactful client outcomes.
With this streamlined and strengthened program, clients will realize an improved overall experience working with Pega partners through benefits such as:
- Accelerated time to value – Through enhanced delivery capabilities and increased capacity, Pega clients will be able to bring their Pega solutions more quickly into production.
- Access to growing marketplace of solutions – With new simplified merit-based partner designations, it will be faster and easier for clients to identify the right solution for their transformation project. New solutions will be added to more than 200 Pega- and partner-driven components and solutions already available on Pega Marketplace.
- Stronger vetting and training to establish deeper client trust – Pega provides a diversity of talent to meet client needs across industries and locations – partners with the right skills, with the right experience, in the right place. Clients can have confidence that each Pega partner has been thoroughly vetted via a structured partner validation framework. New best-in-class training and updated technical requirements will help partners to up-level their skills to the benefit of their clients.
