Centrelink's Pega-based payments engine is live

quote [ The project will let Services Australia retire the mainframe-based system that currently handles entitlement calculations for payments administered by Centrelink. ]

Relevant or not, it leads me to ponder.

Pega like? pegasus or like Peg a Sus citizen.

Bad jokes aside.

Some ITnews from the other side of the globe/disc/5th dimensional realm.

P.S. the definition of work, was if you did more then 4 hours paid within a fortnight. Not sure now.

Pega is one of these low-code/no code solutions that the industry is pushing on many clients with aging systems. It's similar to Salesforce, but aims for less technical debt.

The number of people who truly understands mainframe, COBOL, and other older/legacy systems are retired/gone. Everyone's solutions now is running fancy MDE front end interfaces that are still powered by old backend code. Pega just maps the datapoints and allow their technical/business analyst to drag/drop the features (e.g. recreate the entitlement calculations for payments).

Edit: You can get Pega certifications. All the materials you need to know are provided for free online (they probably prefer it if you are signing up with your company's partnership, but you can create your account for free and start learning their courses). My company pushed this on their developers for potential future work with our clients, but I've only known 1 project in our sector that is exploring it after 3 years (pandemic changed everything).

Ohhhh, no, no, no, no, no. Don't touch the legacy code, it's fine! Oh god! Why did you do that?!

So they can figure out how to rig the CCTV footage in. That why we can get those no good dole bludgers you go out and bask or beg for money. How else are you going to get them.
