SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. – (June 5, 2020) – Virtusa Corporation (NASDAQ GS:VRTU), a global provider of digital strategy, digital engineering, and IT services and solutions that help clients change and disrupt markets through innovation engineering, announced today that it has been recognized for Excellence in Digital Transformation in the 2020 Pega Partner Awards. Pegasystems Inc., the software company empowering digital transformation at the world’s leading enterprises, recognized Virtusa’s development and implementation of its intelligent automation solutions that increased operational efficiency for a mutual major healthcare client.

The Pega Partner Awards recognize a select group of Pega’s partners for excellence in growth, delivery, and transformational client outcomes. The healthcare and life sciences industries are, now more than ever, faced with rapid regulatory changes and the need to reduce cost while increasing quality of care. At the same time, quick innovation is required to meet the changing needs of their communities. Virtusa helps patients, providers, and payers by improving the responsiveness and personalization of IT systems.

Virtusa’s intelligent automation solution, Triple R (Recon, Refactor, and Re-platform), helps large organizations with investments in Pega technology to re-engineer their existing Pega applications to fit into a broader, cloud-first micro-services architecture. The Triple R process enables organizations to identify opportunities for existing systems to benefit from features and functions available in newer versions of Pega software to lower costs, increase efficiency, and improve service.

“In a world driven by AI and cloud-native computing, healthcare companies need ways to increase data storage capacity and efficiency while controlling costs,” said Anthony Lange, SVP, healthcare and life sciences, Virtusa. “Virtusa’s recognition by Pega for Excellence in Digital Transformation reinforces how our digital process automation solutions are providing efficiency at a scale and speed that defies traditional IT infrastructure.”
