Pegasystems Named a Visionary in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Marketing Hubs for Second Consecutive Year

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the software company empowering customer engagement at the world's leading enterprises, today announced it has been named a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Marketing Hubs (1) report. This is the second consecutive year Pega has been recognized as a Visionary in this report.

Gartner evaluated 21 marketing software vendors to evaluate against 15 different criteria on their ability to execute and completeness of vision. According to Gartner, "Success requires data driven insights into customer behaviors and interests, goals, and needs. It also requires knowing how channels operate most effectively — in isolation and in harmony — to deliver the right content to the right audience at the right time."
