PEGA Tutorial
What is PEGA?

PEGA is one of the finest BPM Tool available today in the industry. BPM Tools helps an organization to achieve work productivity and efficiency by providing process automation. BPM or Business Process Management is combination of Policies, metrics, methods, management practice and Software tools to manage and continuously optimize an organization activities and processes.

PEGA is a platform which provide a systematic approach to build and deploy process-oriented and rule based solutions and applications. Business Process Management, Customer relationship management, Decision management and case management areas are some of the examples where processes and rules are integral part of solution or application.
What PEGA provides to a developer is a Designer studio which acts as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to build applications. The best part is this Designer studio is web based so a developer can work and create solutions from anywhere in the world.

PEGA main focus are Processes. If you are planning to learn PEGA or if you are already working with PEGA tools you should keep this in mind is "Process is King, Queen and everything in PEGA". Every business solution is process oriented.

Technically PEGA is not a language or database or operating system. What PEGA provides us is a framework which is process driven; everything that we do in traditional programming such as designing user interfaces, writing business logic, applications logic, creating physical and logical mode of databases etc. we do the same thing in PEGA. The difference lies between PEGA and traditional programming is that in PEGA to build or develop anything (UI, data access logics, validation rules etc) there are processes and gadgets that we have to use.

In the heart of PEGA is PRPC server (PegaRULES Process Commander®) which provides the platform and interfaces to business analyst, system analyst and developers to design and build applications in PEGA. The main focus in PEGA is on automation of works and program code.

PRPC server is written in Java. To setup PRPC server to function smoothly we need an Operating System, a Java application server, a database and Java JDK.

PEGA is not the only BPM Tool available in the market place. The other popular BPM Tools as per Forrester reports are following:
