When the speed of business is measured in fractions of seconds, the ability to deploy fast and responsive applications is paramount for maintaining competitiveness. Enterprises that can develop world-class solutions more quickly will enjoy a distinct advantage over competitors. From accelerating speed to market to improving interaction with customers, the ability to develop and deploy superior applications more quickly is a crucial component of success. For this reason, the choice of development tools becomes a critical decision. Superior tools should provide for automated development of complex code as well as the flexibility to write code to meet specific needs. For innovative development tools deployed by leading enterprises around the globe, consider Progress Software.
Built on the innovative Progress 4GL business programming language, Progress OpenEdge provides developers with the tools to quickly and efficiently develop and deploy world-class business applications. Because today's developers must constantly deal with multiple and complex technologies, OpenEdge provides interfaces to many of the key standards in the industry, including Web services and XML. From the OpenEdge environment, developers can employ powerful development tools to handle a wide variety of sophisticated programming tasks. Creating .NET clients and Java clients, building Java messaging, mapping database schema to XML format – all these and much more can be accomplished from within the OpenEdge development environment using the Progress 4GL. When applications require programmers to manipulate specialized code, they can do so with the adaptive syntax also provided within OpenEdge. And when applications are ready to be deployed, OpenEdge provides powerful and highly scalable engines to ensure superior business processing and reliable data access.
As one of the leading integrated development environments, OpenEdge offers a set of high productivity tools that can speed and streamline the building of applications. OpenEdge® Architect is an Eclipse-based environment that provides remarkable productivity enhancement by automating tasks and reducing complexity. OpenEdge® Studio makes building complex distributed applications much simpler, while WebSpeed® Workshop helps create highly scalable applications for the Internet. Additional development tools assist with creating multilingual versions of applications and managing the entire process of building and deploying applications.
In addition to the OpenEdge software development tool – a h3 alternative to VB development – Progress also provides application infrastructure solutions, a business application platform, business software application support, and much more.
