LONDON
– May 10, 2006 – Virtusa Corporation,
a global provider of software development and
IT services, today announced at the Pegasystems
User Conference and Expo 2006 the formation of
a dedicated Pegaystems Business Process Management
(BPM) practice. Creation of the Pega BPM practice
formalises the relationship forged between Virtusa
and Pegasystems (Nasdaq: PEGA), the global leader
in unified business process and rules technology,
in 2001 and leverages Virtusa’s success
in the rapidly expanding global market for integrated
BPM and Business Rules (BRE) solutions.
The Pega BPM practice is staffed with a dedicated
team of Pegasystems Certified consultants. The
practice is based on the synergy between Pegasystems’
industry-leading rules-based SmartBPM™ suite
and Virtusa’s unique Productization®
methodology. Virtusa offers BPM solution design,
development and testing, delivered via its Advanced
Technology Centres in Asia to further drive the
implementation of Pegasystems-based solutions
worldwide on a 24/7 basis. All practice members
receive exposure to the full development life
cycle across all Pegasystems product lines, enabling
carefully structured work across a variety of
disciplines, technologies and domains.
Virtusa has been jointly developing Vertical
Applications with the SmartBPM suite since 2003,
with activity focused on rules-based software
engineering, BPM Designer Studio, BPM Platform
and test engineering. The partnership has already
resulted in a successful track record of over
20 professional services engagements, highlighted
by Virtusa’s two Pegasystems Partner Excellence
Awards.
Commenting on the Pega BPM practice, Tom Congoran,
vice president of Business Development for Pegasystems,
said: “Virtusa is a strategic partner for
the Pegasystems engineering and professional services
teams, and plays an important role across our
products and implementations, and reducing time
to market, improving quality, and cost of ownership.
John Gillis, EVP High Tech Business Unit, Virtusa,
added: “Pegasystems has been one of our
most strategic partnerships for over four years.
Our expanding BPM Practice extends the partnership
to a new and exciting phase where we will drive
new initiatives designed to benefit Pegasystems,
Virtusa and our mutual clients. We currently have
the largest number of Pegasystems Certified Professionals
and will continue to grow aggressively, enabling
us to meet the increasing demand for BPM services
and further accelerate time-to-market for solutions
built on the Pegasystems suite of products.”
