Across all solutions evaluated, Pega earned the top score in the ?current offering' category.

In the report, under the headline "Pegasystems excels at automating and guiding service journeys to the best outcomes," the report says: "Pegasystems' outstanding vision is to guide and automate every customer service journey. Pega Customer Service, part of its unified CRM, combines workflow automation, real-time decisioning, and a low-code platform that's particularly geared to large enterprises that support complex processes not necessarily contained to the front office." It later states: "Pegasystems uses real-time customer context, history, and journey data to anticipate needs and proactively engage ? for example, understanding a customer's intent or guiding agents through workflows that transition from self-service to agent-assisted based on outcomes."

Pega was among 12 customer service solutions providers evaluated by Forrester Research for the report. In addition to receiving the highest score in the ?current offering' category, Pega received the highest scores possible in 17 criteria, including case management, customer service management/operations, web/mobile customer self-service, process management, business intelligence, certifications, extensibility, vision, innovation, and pricing flexibility and transparency.

Forrester evaluated Pega Customer Servicetm, an intelligent service automation platform that provides AI-powered workflows for customer service at scale.
