Pegasystems (PEGA), Why Is It Back In The Spotlight?

Coforge Limited’s expanded partnership with Pegasystems (PEGA) puts fresh attention on how this enterprise software stock is positioned in AI-driven workflow automation and customer engagement, especially as joint Pega-powered offerings reach more global clients.
