Pegasystems announced recently that it has been named a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Sales Force Automation report.

In the report, Gartner evaluated 15 vendors of sales force automation (SFA) technology, which the firm defines as applications that support the “automation of sales activities, processes, and administrative responsibilities for an organizations’ sales professionals.” The report further states: “The core functionalities of the SFA market include: account, contact, and opportunity management; sales activity management; sales forecasting; mobile applications; reporting; partner relationship management; and platform capabilities.” Gartner assessed Pega based on its completeness of vision and ability to execute.

This recognition builds on Gartner’s other recent recognitions of Pega, including being named a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for CRM Customer Engagement Center report and a Visionary in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Marketing Hubs , as well as receiving the highest scores in two use cases in Gartner’s December 2017 Critical Capabilities for the CRM Customer Engagement Center report .

We believe this latest recognition from Gartner reinforces Pega’s continued leadership in enabling the world’s top organizations to create more meaningful customer relationships.”
