Application Development

Accelerate the Time to Market for Your Business Applications 

When it comes to your business applications, speed to market is essential to maintain a competitive advantage. Success also depends on your ability to quickly satisfy customer requests and meet a supply-chain partner's new integration requirements. The application development environment you choose can either hold you back or allow you to react and take advantage of opportunities. The Progress® OpenEdge® application development platform balances productivity with flexibility to enable you to move rapidly and in any direction you need with your business applications.

Enjoy a Productive and Flexible Application Development

How can an application development environment be both productive and flexible? Productivity generally results from automation, templates, and set rules which save time, but also limit choice. Flexibility, on the other hand, means that you can build precisely what you want, by doing it yourself, but slowly, one line of code at a time. OpenEdge offers a different approach, with these tools:

• Developer Studio for OpenEdge - A fully configurable workspace for developers with tools like the rich code editor and an integrated debugger that enable developers to concentrate on building the business logic
• WebSpeed®  Workshop - Allows developers to create multi-page Internet Transaction Processing (ITP) applications with little or no coding, significantly cutting development time while preserving the ability to customize an application
• Roundtable® TSMS - Total Software Management System productivity tool for application development  that streamlines the development environment and offers complete software lifecycle management
• Translation Manager™ - Improves the localization process so you can efficiently create and deliver high-quality, multilingual versions of your applications
• 4GL / ABL Development - A streamlined toolset for writing Progress applications
