Quotes & Commentary:
"At Pega, we believe that
software is the key to helping business and society adapt to the
rapid changes and increasing complexity the world is facing on a
daily basis," said Stephanie Louis,
senior director, community and developer programs, Pega. "We want
to give anyone with an idea the ability to act on it -- regardless
of if they are a professional developer or if they have never
written a line of code. Our hackathon participants will be
empowered with our visual and intuitive low-code environment that
levels the playing field for all makers so they can bring their
ideas to life. We look forward to being inspired by their
creativity and recognizing their innovations this October."
"The Pega Community Hackathon presents a unique chance to
develop creative solutions for interesting problems," said
Alex Vargo, director, technical
consulting, srcLogic. "Last year, my team used this opportunity to
get hands-on experience with some of the more advanced features of
Pega that we don't get to work with on a daily basis, gaining us
valuable experience and knowledge to take back to our clients."
