How it works

How does Pega Cloud work?

Pega Cloud lets you start building your business application immediately and cut costs forever. 100 to 20,000 users can get to work within an hour of project approval.

How is Pega Cloud different from
on-premise applications?

Traditionally, you had to provision, rack, install, manage, monitor, and maintain enough infrastructure to meet your predicted peak demand — even when average demand was nowhere near that peak. The stakes were high &— guess too many users and you'd have wasted your budget; guess too few, and your system would have crashed. Pega Cloud takes out the guesswork by dynamically scaling to meet current demand on a minute-by-minute basis.

Why does the cloud matter?

Do you have a business application that needs to be built and delivered in a few months — but you just found out infrastructure will take 2 months to provision?

Do you have a business process that you’d like automated and managed but haven’t budgeted the capital expense for the project this year?

Do you have applications that have seasonal peaks during enrollment periods, hurricane season, or even during time of the day?

With Pega Cloud — you can get projects started 5X faster with a simple, low monthly payment that becomes an operational expense. The cloud is infinitely elastic — the entire application and infrastructure scales in real-time as your needs scale.

What is application portability?

Application portability means applications built on Pega Cloud can be deployed on-premise and on the cloud — with complete portability — with no code changes whatsoever.

Pega can offer seamless application portability because of SmartBPM’s model driven architecture. You capture the model of how you want your application to behave with a combination of policy and process definitions. These definitions are stored as XML and the SmartBPM platform converts them to Java. By virtue of this architecture, you can seamlessly relocate an application with a single click.

Only Pega Cloud can provide TRUE application portability.
