Developing and deploying business applications is a critical component of business competitiveness. As enterprises increasingly rely on technology and compete on speed, they must ensure they can quickly create applications that are responsive to the needs of customers, the market and their own users. With business applications driving productivity at every level, choosing the right development infrastructure becomes highly important. A robust infrastructure will provide tools and methodologies for automating tasks and streamlining development, and will offer the flexibility to adapt quickly as new requirements and opportunities become evident. For many enterprises in a remarkable number of industries, Progress Software provides a development infrastructure that allows them to better compete.
Progress Software streamlines the development and deployment, integration and management of applications for business. In collaboration with 2,000 Application Partners, Progress offers more than 5,000 Progress-based applications to solve specific needs for customers and provide competitive advantage. Progress OpenEdge is a comprehensive platform infrastructure for rapidly developing and deploying applications that are service-oriented and standards-based. As a development infrastructure, OpenEdge provides both remarkable productivity and flexibility. Innovative productivity tools provide automation and reduce the complexity of developing sophisticated applications. Developing distributed applications is made simpler by tools for defining objects, laying out interfaces, and linking data. Web-based applications can be developed with little or no coding, and applications can easily be translated into other languages through a sophisticated translation tool. And the entire process can be streamlined through a total team productivity tool.
While OpenEdge has significant advantages as a development infrastructure, it also provides unsurpassed functionality for deploying, integrating and managing applications as well. OpenEdge facilitates deployment through an open flexible platform that allows applications to be deployed to any interface. Using a service-oriented architecture, OpenEdge offers unsurpassed application integration that allows enterprises to leverage current technology, integrate new technology, quickly adapt to changing requirements and opportunities, and easily connect with all customers, partners and suppliers. And OpenEdge simplifies the management of applications with robust and cost-effective tools that provide greater business continuity and operational effectiveness.
