BEDFORD, MA
19-Oct-2009
Progress Software is pleased to announce that it has won ‘Enterprise Product of the Year’ at the Comms National Awards, 2009.
The awards took place at the Park Lane Hilton in London, on Thursday, 1 October, 2009. The judges were looking for excellence in overall solutions, and specifically recognised product innovation and design that exceeds expectations in meeting the requirements of the channel and end users in its target market.
Progress Software won the award despite stiff competition from Juniper Network, Tri-Line and Union Street.
The company’s OpenEdge product, which is a leading SaaS Platform for enabling application development, management, integration and deployment in the cloud, was picked as it has the formula for successful SaaS enablement and a comprehensive set of programmes to increase profitability. It is also a highly efficient development platform, combined with deployment flexibility, remarkable scalability and built-in integration and management capabilities.
The award celebrates the hundreds of partners delivering SaaS and on-demand services today using the OpenEdge SaaS Platform, which deploys more than 600 SaaS applications in 22 countries around the world.
Colleen Smith, Managing Director, Software as a Service at Progress Software commented: “The OpenEdge product capabilities are integral to the way Progress does business with our partners, however we believe that success is achieved with more than just technology. It is the combination of the technology and the programmes that surround it that make our channel partners truly successful.
“We look forward to continuing to develop our channel and working with the Comms National programme in 2010.”
