Dear Partners,
On behalf of Pega and the partner ecosystem team, I want to thank you for all your hard work in 2024. We appreciate all your contributions to client success. Please watch my video message, where I use Blueprint to walk through our accomplishments. For a deeper dive into each topic, continue reading my blog.
Blueprint success:
It was an exciting year for Pega innovation. Our launch of Pega GenAI Blueprint™ was game changing for our partners and clients. Our partner momentum was phenomenal. Pega partners are using Blueprint to change how they engage with clients across discovery, solution innovation and delivery of transformative client outcomes.
Since PegaWorld, partners have created over 10,000 Blueprints. You’ve also turned over 150 of these into templates. On the Blueprint Showcase page, select templates are featured for clients to inquire about. Pega GenAI Blueprint™ releases new features every week to make app design easier and faster, so make sure you’re staying in the loop for what’s new.
Skills currency:
Skills currency is defined as an individual’s certification or certification equivalent (certification + Mission Badge) in the latest Pega release. It's been great to see your dedication to upleveling skills that differentiate you in front of clients. 76% of you are qualified at 8.8. At the start of the new year, start working on your Infinity ’23 certifications. The currency requirement for Infinity ’24 is set for June, let’s see if we can make it by PegaWorld.
Events:
Partners showed up in a big way at our events in 2024 – both in person and virtually. Thank you for being at Pega Summits, PegaFests, Pega Insights, Partner Town Halls and so much more. Over a thousand of you attended PegaWorld, and over 40 of you were sponsors.
Achievements with clients:
This is what matters most – successful outcomes with our clients. This year, we saw 318 projects go live and registered over 300 new opportunities for business together. Incredible! I couldn’t be more excited for the future.
