US-based Pegasystems (Pega) said in public filings that it plans to cut approximately 4 per cent of its employees across various geographies,
citing a reorganisation of its customer success roles, reports Boston Business Journal.

added.
Pega is "realigning" its workforce "to continue to elevate and simplify our client engagement."
In January this year, the software company announced to lay off 4 per cent of its over 6,000-strong workforce.
The workforce reductions "are part of the company's goal to improve its go-to-market operating model," read the company filing.
