Since 1983, Pegasystems has been a pioneer in rules-driven Business Process Management (BPM) technology and is now the leader in the industry. Pegasystems is helping to define future industry standards through actively participating in leading technology organizations such as:

BPMI.org (Business Process Management Initiative) is a non-profit organization that works to enable companies to develop and use business processes that span multiple applications and business partners, behind the firewall and over the Internet. BPMI.org's mission is the promotion and development of open, complete, and royalty-free XML-based standards that support and enable BPM in all industries. Working with standards organizations such as OMG, WfMC, and OASIS, BPMI.org promotes existing industry standards; in areas where standards are lacking, BPMI.org works to develop standards to support the entire lifecycle of BPM — from process design through deployment execution, maintenance, and optimization.

Founded in 1993, the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) is an international organization of analysts, research groups, universities, users, and workflow vendors. Its mission is to increase the value of customers' investments using workflow technology, decrease the risk of using workflow products, and expand the existing workflow market by increasing awareness of the benefits of the technology. The coalition works to promote the use of workflow by establishing industry standards for software terminology, interoperability, and connectivity between workflow products. As a result of this work, WfMC is the primary standards body for the workflow-software market.

The Object Management Group (OMG) is an open-membership, non-profit consortium that produces and maintains industry specifications for interoperable enterprise applications. Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is their multi-platform flagship specification, based on the modeling specifications Meta-Object Facility (MOF), Unified Modeling Language (UML), XMI, and Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM). OMG's middleware platform, CORBA, includes the Interface Definition Language (IDL), and the IIOP protocol.

Founded in 1993, the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) is an international consortium driving the development, convergence, and adoption of e-business standards. OASIS produces standards for security, e-business, the public sector, and numerous application-specific markets; and currently has 4,000+ members representing more than 600 organizations and 100 countries. It is members' responsibility to develop the OASIS technical agenda, which is then ratified by open ballot. The OASIS Board of Directors and the Technical Advisory board serve two-year terms after being elected by the members. Consortium leadership is determined by individual merit and is not based on corporate standing or financial contributions. OASIS hosts Cover Pages and XML.org, two highly respected information portals on XML and Web Services standards.
