Pega Common Data Model
4 Modules
3 Challenges
3 hrs 20 mins
In this mission, you learn about the Pega Common Data Model, which can provide the data and integration layer for your Pega application. You will understand how the Common Data Model facilitates application development by providing a comprehensive framework that includes:
- An Industry-Specific Data Model: Centered around core entities like Account (the customer), Contact (the people), and Service Account (products, policies, or contracts), the model is extended for various industries, providing a relevant starting point.
- Best-Practice Patterns: The model incorporates proven, performance-tested solutions for typical challenges, including data retrieval, CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, external integrations, and reference data management.
- Development Accelerators: The framework includes data loader templates and test cases, and a Data Portal designed to reduce manual effort and jumpstart your build.
Using the Common Data Model is not mandatory when building applications directly on Platform. For strategic applications (for example, Customer Service) that are built by using the Common Data Model, refer to the respective application's instructions for mandatory uses.
