CAMBRIDGE, MA --(Marketwired - February 16, 2017) - Pegasystems Inc. ( NASDAQ : PEGA ), the software company empowering customer engagement at the world's leading enterprises, today announced the availability of the MuleSoft Certified API specification. This enables Pega customers to quickly integrate Pega applications with nearly any third-party application, system, and device through MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform™. In addition, Pega has now joined the MuleSoft Technology Partner Program .

To provide exceptional customer service, organizations need to be able to tap into customer data trapped in a variety of siloed systems and applications scattered across the enterprise. With this partnership and API specification, it is now faster and easier for Pega users to connect this disparate data with Pega's suite of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications and the Pega® Platform .
