CIT Chennai – PEGA Centre of Excellence (CoE)

The PEGA Centre of Excellence (CoE) at CIT Chennai was established in 2014 in collaboration with Virtusa, with support from Pega Systems as a Tool Partner. This CoE was the first of its kind in the field of Business Process Management (BPM), and by 2017, it came under full control of Pega Systems, USA. The CoE aims to equip students with cutting-edge BPM knowledge and skills, preparing them for the evolving demands of the industry.

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, Business Process Management (BPM) tools are essential for organizations to remain agile and responsive to business changes. BPM tools offer critical functions such as workflow automation, collaboration, and metrics that help business leaders make informed decisions.
