Predictive analytics augments enterprise decision-making processes through the use of predictive models. The models use historical data, like the past behavior of your customers and their profiles, to identify patterns, risks, and opportunities. You can build predictive models in Pega Platform™ or use the third-party models that are PMML-compliant.

Predictive analytics is a business intelligence technology that makes it possible for you to differentiate among customers based on their likely future behavior. It can also help you to make decisions about which actions to take with a particular customer or customers. Furthermore, predictive analytics can optimize marketing campaigns and decrease the churn rate among customers.
