Virtusa Recognized by Leading Rules-based BPM Provider

Virtusa Corporation said last week it was the recipient of a Pegasystems Partner Excellence Award at Pegasystems’ annual customer and partner conference, PegaVISION 2003.

Virtusa, a Pegasystems Alliance Program Services partner, was presented with a Partner Excellence Award for the Most Innovative Implementation of Pegasystems software in Boston, Massachusetts, which showcased the latest trends in business process management (BPM) and business rules technology.

The Partner Excellence Award for the Most Innovative Implementation of Pegasystems software is given to a partner that has implemented Pegasystems software for an end-user customer in a new industry or in a distinguishing way.

Selection criteria included evaluation of the degree of complexity in the underlying business process automation and level of integration with other solutions, the company said in a statement.

“Over the past year, Virtusa has partnered with us to help deliver the benefits of our smart BPM solutions to the marketplace through their innovative implementation of a solution built on PegaRULES Process Commander. We are excited to honor them with this award,” said Samir Gulati, vice president of Global Marketing, Pegasystems.

“Virtusa is a thought leader in the IT outsourcing industry and we are proud to work with them.”

Under the alliance, both companies are engaged in joint sales and marketing initiatives focused on helping organizations increase sales and reduce the cost of changing rules in business applications.

Virtusa helps create and distribute PegaRULES RuleSets, a collection of best practices and procedures that describe how to resolve a specific business function or problem. Virtusa is working with Pegasystems to build and deliver pre-packaged, market-specific RuleSets based on industry best practices.
