The foundational use cases that are unifying the worlds of adtech and martech.
Omni-channel customer journeys are increasingly recognized as the best practice standard by which organizations need to define, implement, and measure their marketing strategy and assign marketing spend. Maintaining advertising technology (adtech) and marketing technology (martech) silos creates technology, organizational, and capability gaps—preventing us from effectively driving toward coherent, profitable, and delightful customer experiences across both owned and paid media, throughout the entire customer life cycle. And yet, with the growing maturity of data management platform (DMP) implementations—combined with greater adoption and utilization of decision management platforms—these two unique worlds of adtech and martech can be bridged, with pre-built technology solutions that deliver new, previously unachievable use cases. By combining powerful DMP technology with advanced AI, marketing organizations can optimize ad spend, reduce attrition, improve acquisition rates, and increase revenues.

Pegasystems Launches Pega Community to Empower Anyone to Create Better Software
New community fosters collaborative approach to developing Pega apps for both experienced and new developers
LAS VEGAS – June 5, 2018 – Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the software company empowering customer engagement at the world’s leading enterprises, today announced Pega Community, an open online community empowering Pega users of all experience levels to build better software without coding. This new community allows anyone – from novice to expert – to access the latest resources and tutorials to unlock the power of Pega Infinity™, Pega’s next generation digital transformation suite.
As organizations race to digitally transform their businesses, people with the skills to rapidly create the required solutions are in high demand. Pega Community aims to change how software gets built and redefine who gets to build it by providing an engaging educational resource for Pega’s no-code development environment. From business users to veteran developers, the site offers valuable resources to quickly drive successful digital transformation projects from start to finish.

Through the new “Find a Pega Pro” tool, Pega’s industry-leading clients – representing some of the most successful companies in the world – can search within their own organizations to find available Pega developers who match the skills and qualifications they’re seeking. This tool will help Pega Community members looking for their next project to market their skills and find exciting new career opportunities.
Project Hub: Project Hub gives users a comprehensive, centralized source of information, guidance, and tools needed to run successful Pega projects. These continuously updated resources – from basic to advanced articles, to templates and role-specific resources – bolster success by helping users accelerate projects, ensure app quality and relevance, and drive agility. The information is structured around the project lifecycle and key capabilities for fast and easy reference. For the first time, users have access to all the delivery insights cultivated from more than 35 years of Pega consulting projects.

At Pega, we’re obsessed with being unified. Our mobility, real-time AI, robotic automation, BPM, and case management are best in breed – go ask the analysts. But we didn’t cobble this together from pieces of dead companies – we built it from the ground up on a unified, enterprise-ready architecture.

The finished page should be different from what is shown here in the following ways (consider the Invision comps canonical in these respects):
* It should have an optional negative top margin to overlay the band above it
* At mobile breakpoints, the form should overlay the whole screen

This section was originally designed as a simple 5-column Bolt grid. However, because Drupal already has a structure for putting partner logos within action blocks, it was redesigned to use that structure instead. It should be built using those existing structures, not rebuilt from the example below. However,
the example below can still serve as the source-of-truth for the finished product.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is not going to transform your business by itself. Up to half of initial RPA projects fail. Combine robotics with powerful end-to-end automation and you can jump on the RPA bandwagon without becoming a statistic.

Anthem: Service Desktop
Anthem debuts its next-generation service desktop, driving frictionless customer experiences.
321% ROI in less than 12 months. 75% cost savings. 75% productivity improvements. These are transformational outcomes. Getting there takes more than just a few robots. You need one unified automation engine.
Use business process management to orchestrate people and systems. Deploy RPA to take repetitive work out of your operation. Use case management to manage it all from end to end.
You define service level agreements, route work, and apply rules and advanced intelligence. You can jumpstart with RPA, sure – but you’ll be able to fly past the 20% improvement companies see from robotics alone.
Why? Because Pega’s capabilities are unified on one platform. No duct tape. No wiring a bunch of things together. You think about outcomes from end to end. Your technology should be able to get that end to end work done.

Anthem: Service Desktop
Anthem debuts its next-generation service desktop, driving frictionless customer experiences.
Imagine if you could give back five minutes of every employee’s day. You can if you free them from wrangling across systems and process siloes for information. How? Software robots that automate the desktop tasks that frustrate your people and slow them down. We call these “productivity bots.”
Productivity bots collaborate with your employees to bridge systems and process siloes. They do work like tabbing, searching, and copying and pasting – so your people can focus on your customers.
Leveraging productivity bots that simplify the employee experience injects instant ROI into your business. In just two to three weeks you'll turn all your service agents, back-office workers, or front-line sellers into productivity ninjas. They’ll be happier. You’ll be happier. And your customers will be happier.

Anthem: Service Desktop
Anthem debuts its next-generation service desktop, driving frictionless customer experiences.
It’s 3 p.m. Do you know how your employees are doing? What are they struggling with? What best practices have they discovered? How do you help them be more effective?
You might have KPIs, but do you know what contributes to those KPIs? What systems are effective? What workarounds your employees are taking? New apps get deployed, processes change, regulatory environments shift – it’s the never-ending cycle of change. You need continuous insights to measure the impact of these changes.
Pega Workforce Intelligence captures insights at the desktop. It gets you the details of how work gets done. It uses real-time AI to tell you what systems and processes are getting in the way of employee productivity.
Because once you know the details, you can act. And that makes all the difference.

Digital technology is changing how clients engage with insurers.
Remember the old days when customers could only conduct business either in person or over the phone? Now insurers need to be able to engage via the internet, mobile devices, email, call center, customer service agents, virtual voice assistants, chatbots, and whatever devices come next. Channels are evolving constantly and customers expect insurers to keep up. They expect you to meet them on their channel of choice and not the other way around.
Why are expectations so high? Insurance consumers, both retail and commercial, are already experiencing real-time service across multiple channels from their banks, retailers, suppliers, third-party information services, etc. They are looking at the insurance industry and asking, "Why can’t my insurer do this?" They are expecting an informed and personalized experience every time they engage with you.
The reality is, customer service is not about how many channels you have – it’s about how you service your customers across those channels.
Most insurers have implemented the ability to connect with clients and agents over many of the above-mentioned channels, but a customer’s experience often varies from channel to channel. If a customer switches channels, they likely have to start from scratch and must repeat their problem and information again. This can be frustrating for both the consumer and the insurance provider.
However, this problem can’t be fixed with the old method of just "throwing more people at it." Instead, to provide real-time, contextual service that meets and exceeds customers' expectations, insurers should leverage strategic investments in digital technology that connect their channels and data, plus core functionality that's leveraged across all channels.
There are three changes insurers need to make right now to create a proactive, digital, client-focused platform for customer engagement.
1. Empower 1-to-1 engagement with real-time AI:Artificial Intelligence can help provide the personalized engagement that insurance consumers value. By analyzing and applying machine learning to each customer’s historical, cross-channel data you will be able to anticipate client needs, provide proactive service, and grow the value of your relationship with each client. Two of the most effective applications of AI in the insurance industry are powering intelligent virtual assistants, like chatbots, or providing guided next best actions to call center agents. AI helps insurers provide consistency with established internal policies and guidelines, and personalized service.
2. Connect the front and back office with end-to-end robotic automation and case management: Bridge the gap between your back-end legacy systems and your digital front end by connecting data and workers using robotic process automation (RPA) and case management. RPA automates data integrations and eliminates the tedious search / copy / paste of a customer’s history across process silos that typically slow down productivity. Case management orchestrates this data with your processes, people, robots, and applications to adaptively manage customer journeys to completion.
3. Unite experiences across channels: Engage with customers and maintain the context of a conversation across a variety of channels and devices by making omni-channel access a priority. This means integrating multi-channel systems with case management and re-using functionality across channels to create a single, connected conversation with customers.
Change doesn’t have to take multiple years or costs millions of dollars.
These three changes can significantly increase the opportunity for consumer retention by providing a frictionless, digital consumer experience. To start, plan for and focus on customer journeys and outcomes. Then combine out-of-the-box product capabilities with an agile methodology.
Insurers are already realizing tremendous business value and return on investment from engaging with customers on their preferred channel, connecting conversations across digital ecosystems with case management, robotics, and end-to-end automation, and using AI as a guide for personalized, client-centric, outcome-driven experiences.

The Certified System Architect (CSA) certification is for developers and technical staff members who want to learn how to develop Pega applications. This certification provides a baseline measurement on your knowledge of Pega applications. The CSA 7.4 exam includes scenario questions, multiple choice questions and drag/drop items. If multiple answers are required, the text states how many responses are needed.
The Certified System Architect Test is proctored by Pearson VUE. Users must create a Pearson VUE account if you do not already have one and register for the exam through the Pearson VUE site. There are two exam delivery options:
Take an exam at a test center, or
Take an exam via Online Proctored delivery
(e.g., in a quiet, uninterrupted room in your home or office, proctored via webcam).

How to update a rule
System architects often secure rulesets to prevent unauthorized or unintended changes to rules. When you edit the rules in a secured ruleset, you either check out the rule or perform a private edit.
Rule check out and check in
The check-out feature is used to manage changes to rules when multiple developers work on an application. This feature allows a system architect to update a rule while preventing updates by other system architects. Rule check-oLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Fusce ac felis eu velit lacinia tincidunt.ut creates a copy of a rule in a ruleset that is only visible to you, called a personal ruleset.
Checking out a rule
Lorem ipsum caption for the thumbnail.
Checking out a rule creates a copy of the original rule in your personal ruleset and prevents other system architects from checking the rule out until you check in your changes.
The personal ruleset occupies the top spot in the ruleset stack. The rules in your personal ruleset override rules in the rest of the application. This allows you to test your changes to the rule without affecting other system architects.
In the Dev Studio header, click the Checkouts icon to view a list of the rules you have checked out. After you update the rule and test the changes, you check in the rule. This updates the application ruleset with a new version of the rule.

Private edit
A private edit provides a nonexclusive check out of a rule. This allows other system architects to edit a rule at the same time. Private edits are useful for quick debugging without interrupting development by other team members. This option is not available in App Studio.
It is a best practice to lock older versions of a ruleset in order to prevent changes. For rules in a locked ruleset, a lock icon is displayed on the rule form.

Quick Filters (Best of Content)
Quick filters are an alternative way to display the traditional search facets (checkbox based).This is just example code. It will become obsolete once the relevant CSS and JS are moved to the www theme. Please reference the latest code in the www theme as the source of truth.Important Notes:This is a minimal component with a few CSS classes.JavaScript and js-* classes are required. Example is shown in the code snippet below.
Demo
Twig
Not available in Twig. Please use plain HTML.

The docs show that mapping each style option to a specific tag and class is possible, but we need to figure out if it can do attributes as well. Otherwise, we'd have to make sure our web components can work without any attributes.
