Implementing Pega Customer Decision Hub features

Updated on May 25, 2021

Pega Sales Automation includes numerous Pega Customer Decision Hub features to support the sales process, including: local campaigns, next-best-offer strategies.

Important: If you plan to implement Pega Customer Decision Hub in a configuration with the Pega Customer Relationship Management suite of applications, the Pega Customer Decision Hub application should be created on a different Pega environment with a its own database and application servers separate from the ones used by Pega Customer Service and Pega Sales Automation applications. The Pega Customer Decision Hub application is a back-end analytical application with a typically smaller number of active users compared to the operational Pega Customer Service and Pega Sales Automation applications. Keeping the operational and analytical clusters separate helps ensure easier maintenance and decreases upgrade complexity.

Local campaigns

As a sales representative or a sales manager, you can use the local campaigns feature to create and send personalized email and SMS campaigns to contacts in the Pega Sales Automation application. When a contact accepts a campaign offer, a lead is automatically generated in the application. Local campaigns are supported for both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) selling models.

Note:

To implement local campaigns in Pega Sales Automation, you must first integrate Pega Sales Automation with Pega Customer Decision Hub. You can then activate the feature in App Studio.

Next-best-offer recommendations

Pega Sales Automation uses Pega Customer Decision Hub to identify the top sales offer across a sales representative's book of business. Adaptive models guide sales representatives and sales managers to the offers that have the highest propensity to close. When a prospect accepts an offer, an opportunity is automatically generated.

Note: To implement next-best-offer recommendations in Pega Sales Automation, you must first integrate Pega Sales Automation with Pega Customer Decision Hub. You can then activate the feature in App Studio.
