Abrion Systems can bring deep expertise in Pegasystems technology to bear in your next Pegasystems project. Our staff has been involved with Pegasystems implementations for 16 years and we apply our expertise with the sole objectives of reducing your risk and facilitating your project’s success.

In addition to general Pegasystems expertise, we have exceptionally strong CTI and PegaCALL expertise that has made the critical difference in our clients’ projects. Across the industry, CTI projects are known to be notoriously complex and often overrun their budgets and timelines. Our consulting practice leverages 9 years of Pegasystems CTI experience and industry expertise. We can work with your telecom staff to design an ideal CTI architecture and identify key risk areas and common pitfalls before they can become problematic.

Our CTI practice is lead by Vernon Berger, the former Director of Contact Center Engineering at Pegasystems, Inc. In his former role in the Pegasystems Product Development organization, Mr. Berger designed PegaCALL, wrote much of the original code, and had ongoing management responsibilities for all aspects PegaCALL, including development and successful deployment in the field. Mr. Berger wrote much of the PegaCALL documentation, including the Configuration Guide, Implementation Guide and technical whitepapers, as well as the original Installation Guide.

As the former Pegasystems expert in CTI technology, Mr. Berger was directly involved in many implementations, consulting for clients on site in all aspects of the planning, architectural design, implementation, customization, testing and production rollout. This included working with the clients’ telecom staff in directing modifications to the IVR, PBX, and other aspects of the telephony environment. In addition, he often installed the product and provided the custom Pegasystems configuration to meet the clients’ functional needs. Over the years as the CTI work shifted to the Pegasystems consulting practice, Mr. Berger provided extensive behind-the-scenes support to Pegasystems staff, reviewing architectural design and answering ongoing questions. Mr. Berger has also provided customized CTI training classes for clients as well as internal Pegasystems staff.

Mr. Berger left Pegasystems in 2002 and has played the critical role in a number of CTI projects since, sometimes as a sub-contractor to Pegasystems and other times as an independent consultant.
