Pega Launches Crisis Response Solutions Portfolio
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 16, 2020 – Pegasystems Inc. announced the launch of its Crisis Response Solutions Portfolio to help organizations solve urgent challenges resulting from the COVID-19 crisis. The portfolio contains 18 rapidly deployable solutions that help businesses overcome a range of unpredictable issues they are facing during the pandemic – such as surges in customer inquiries, policy exceptions requests, new emergency regulations, and changing claims requirements.
The massive societal shift caused by COVID-19 has forced public and private organizations to try to change how they operate overnight. The crisis has relentlessly exposed new issues that need quick solutions while magnifying old ones from failed or incomplete digital transformation initiatives.
Pega quickly developed the crisis response solutions portfolio based on direct client needs and challenges they are facing as a result of the global pandemic. These practical, fast-to-deploy solutions not only provide fast relief to crisis-induced problems, they also help build and expand on DX efforts for the future. This ensures these solutions deliver high-impact results now and aren’t just quick fixes that become technical debt later.
Available today, the crisis response solutions portfolio includes solutions to the following industry crisis challenges:
Financial Services
