Development Environment
The Right Development Environment Is Key to Competitiveness
In developing applications for the competitive enterprise, timing is everything. Robust applications help speed products to market, satisfy customer demand more quickly, meet supply-chain partners' integration requirements, and improve productivity throughout the organization. Clearly, enterprises that can develop world-class business applications with speed and ease will have a h3 competitive advantage. That's why choosing the right development environment is critical. The environment you choose can either hold you back, or let you respond and take advantage of opportunities. A h3 development platform must be flexible enough to let you work the way you want, and robust enough to provide the kind of productivity and automated tools that allow you to work quickly and efficiently, too. For many enterprises in nearly every category of industry, Progress Software provides a development environment with extraordinary functionality and the ability to dovetail with world-class solutions for deployment, integration and management as well.
Progress® OpenEdge® – a Development Environment Built for Speed
Progress Software offers the OpenEdge product line to satisfy the needs of the competitive enterprise for applications that accelerate the development, deployment, integration and management of superior business applications. The OpenEdge development environment is complete with high productivity tools and a single, unified environment that allows developers to create distributed applications, client-server applications, Web-based applications, while also creating or integrating .NET and Java clients, Web services, Java-based messaging and XML programming. OpenEdge is built on Progress 4GL, a programming language specifically designed to represent business processes as efficiently as possible. Knowing that developers must deal with many complex technologies, Progress 4GL incorporates interfaces to key industry standards. And when developers are required to manipulate specialized code, they can write it within OpenEdge using powerful and adaptive syntax.
A Development Environment with Remarkable Tools for Productivity
The OpenEdge environment is replete with tools for rapid development methodologies that accommodate current business applications. Developers can achieve greater efficiency by using components to quickly assemble modules of complex business rules, while code generators can use the same business logic to automatically build Web services or integrate Java and .NET. The OpenEdge development environment includes live application servers so developers can check their work immediately, allowing them to work even more quickly. And a repository-based framework allows developers to dynamically generate multiple interfaces for a single set of business logic, saving developers the time involved in recreating business logic for each interface or creating standard services from scratch.
In addition to Progress Software also offers solutions for software integration, webclient services, SOA architecture and more.
