In the report, Pega sustained a Leader position among 16 CRM vendors Gartner evaluated for their completeness of vision and ability to execute. According to Gartner, the customer engagement center (CEC) market is defined as “the market for software applications used to provide customer service and support (CSS) by engaging intelligently — both proactively and reactively — with customers by answering questions, solving problems and giving advice.”

As part of the Pega Infinity™ digital transformation suite, Pega Customer Service simplifies service by automating service processes and unifying data and systems across the enterprise so that contact center teams and digital touchpoints, like web, mobile, and chat self-service channels, are best positioned to deliver personalized and even proactive and preemptive customer service experiences.
