Integrated Development Environment

An Integrated Development Environment Speeds Application Deployment

When creating applications for enterprises competing in the global marketplace, the right tools can make all the difference. Speed is essential – undoubtedly the applications you're developing are ones the organization needs ASAP. Flexibility is also crucial – you need to be agile enough to adapt to new requirements and opportunities. An integrated development environment can help, but which one provides the most benefit? A cross-platform solution is a must for any enterprise integrating multiple data sources and hybrid applications. Productivity tools are a consideration and the flexibility to write code the way you want is required as well. When considering an integrated development environment, one company offers a premiere solution that also dovetails with an entire business application platform designed to simplify deployment, integration and management of applications. For enterprises everywhere, Progress® OpenEdge® is the integrated development environment of choice.
