CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts and TEANECK, New Jersey, May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the leader in Business Process Management (BPM) and software for customer centricity, and Ness Technologies, a global provider of information technology solutions and services, today announced the formation of a global alliance to provide business process services and solutions to drive transformation projects for Ness clients.  This combination of Pegasystems' industry-leading BPM solutions and Ness' full spectrum of consulting, engineering and professional services will help clients create more efficiency around business processes and improve customer service.     

The alliance between Ness and Pegasystems is formed with the intent to help clients manage business processes better in order to reduce costs and improve performance. This joint partnership has a primary focus to help clients realize the benefits of automated Business Process Management that improves cost strategy and the ability to deliver better service to new and existing customers.

As part of the alliance, Pegasystems' industry-specific framework solutions will be included in Ness' BPM services for their existing top global clients and will focus on Customer Service, Media, Education & Travel, and other markets. This combination of BPM services and solutions is expected to significantly increase business agility through controlled migration, which enables clients to leverage legacy applications and existing investments with new functionalities. Ness will also focus on selling solutions and services that will enable clients to make more informed decisions, leveraging Pega's decision management solutions built on the company's predictive analytics tools. This will also help contact center agents to automate their "Next Best Action" dynamically.
