At the Pega World 2018, Pegasystems Inc., a leading martech company for customer engagement, announced the launch of the Pega Independent Software Vendor (ISV) program. For the first time, Pega is enabling independent development on its next-generation digital transformation suite, Pega Infinity™, so partners can easily integrate with and build new solutions that answer specific market needs. ISVs will also benefit from a commercial go-to-market model to help raise awareness of their solutions to potential clients.

Pega Independent Software Vendor Program to Expand the Portfolio of Pega-Based Products

Businesses are looking to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives to meet increasing customer expectations, which requires specialized technology solutions that fulfill unique business requirements. The Pega Independent Software Vendor program empowers partners to meet these needs as demand for Pega solutions continues to grow. This program will rapidly expand the portfolio of Pega-based products available to clients in existing and new markets.

Pega solutions power many of the world’s leading organizations across industries, including financial services, healthcare, insurance, telecommunications, manufacturing, and government. To ensure the highest quality solutions for these clients, the ISV program will welcome a select group of leading technology providers. Clients will be able to further extend and augment their existing Pega solutions from a certified library of new solutions, while qualified partners benefit from accessing new business opportunities.

At the time of this announcement, Rupen Shah, Vice President, ISV alliances & strategy, Pegasystems, said, “As Pega’s business continues to grow, our ecosystem must also expand to meet our clients’ increasing needs.”
