PEGA Pegasystems Inc

Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the leader in Business Process Management (BPM) and software for customer centricity, today announced it has been recognized in a report issued by Gartner, a leading independent technology research firm. Pegasystems was placed in a select group in the report titled, "MarketScope for North American Property and Casualty Insurance Claims Management Modules."

Gartner research and client inquiry demand show a continued interest among North American property and casualty insurers in deploying stand-alone claims management modules to replace legacy claims systems supporting commercial, personal and specialty lines of business, the report states. It is critical that buyers select vendors with a compelling industry vision, a modern technology architecture, an ability to execute, and a commitment to innovation and continued product enhancement(1).

Insurers leveraging Pega's innovative, customer-centric technology have created competitive advantages by improving the operational efficiency of their claims organizations. Pega clients deploy innovative claims solutions designed to drive efficiencies across lines of business, channels and geographies. The results are differentiated claims solutions that reduce leakage and indemnity costs while simultaneously improving the service experience.

According to the report, "To achieve the most business value, claims management systems must support the entire claims lifecycle. This includes a set of functions, tasks and subtasks that handles first notice of loss (FNOL), claims setup, reserves, assignment, investigation, litigation, settlement, and administration and reporting... More advanced solutions include rule engines and workflow capabilities to automate activities, and they incorporate data and analysis from third-party systems and services to achieve faster, more informed decisions."
