Your Code Over Time
As technology evolves and business needs change, maintaining the quality and sustainability of mission-critical business applications becomes increasingly complex. Technical debt accumulates, posing significant challenges for further development, scalability and maintenance.
AI-Powered Modernization
We deliver purpose-built AI solutions that accelerate your Progress OpenEdge modernization journey—boosting productivity, unlocking data value and enabling future-ready transformation.
Accelerate Quality with AI-Powered Development
Preventing technical debt begins with how your developers write code today. Organizations with cleaner codebases see exponential productivity gains from AI-powered development tools, while those burdened with technical debt struggle to adopt these innovations effectively.
Progress' partnership with Software Improvement Group (SIG) brings AI-powered quality validation to OpenEdge development. The Quality and Security Management (QSM) platform uses SIG's Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector technology to validate code quality in real time as your AI coding assistant generates or modifies Advanced Business Language (ABL) code.
QSM works within your existing development environment to deliver what OpenEdge teams need to build better code from day one—AI-powered quality validation optimized for ABL development, helping you prevent technical debt before it starts.
Outcomes that transform your development velocity:
- Accelerated modernization timelines as developers spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time on strategic initiatives.
- Reduced risk and lower costs through intelligent automation that adheres to ABL-specific rules and your organizational standards, with built-in validations that catch issues before they become technical debt.
- Improved code quality at scale as AI recommendations align with your architecture and embed organizational coding standards directly into the development workflow, creating consistency across your entire team.
Improve Your Code Quality
To complement AI-assisted development, comprehensive assessments provide the strategic visibility needed for long-term planning and prioritization. Using SIG's Sigrid® platform, the Progress Professional Services team conducts Application QSM assessments that measure the code and architecture quality of your OpenEdge applications against industry standards. This assessment includes:
- Analysis against over 300+ different technologies, more than 18,000 systems and 200 billion lines of code within the world’s largest software database to provide you with an objective understanding of where your application stands as compared to industry peers, not just theoretical best practices.
- Evaluation of critical dimensions including maintainability, security vulnerabilities, technical debt, architecture quality and reliability.
- Actionable recommendations from Progress consultants using Sigrid's technology that help you prioritize modernization investments, reduce operational risk and extend application longevity.
Whether you're preparing for an OpenEdge upgrade, planning a modernization initiative or simply want to reduce technical debt systematically, this evidence-based assessment provides the foundation for improving the overall health of your applications.
