The Progress Application Evolution Approach

With Progress as your partner, there is no need to delay the Application Evolution process any longer. You are in an ideal position to seize the new opportunities that will present themselves with a move to a lighter and more fluid cloud architecture. We now offer a prescriptive Application Evolution process, designed to initially focus on one area of the application. This process enables you to continually improve your application as business requirements shift. The result is an application that is always producing value, enabling the organisation to evolve, thrive and compete.

Evolving Your OpenEdge Architecture

The steady adoption of micro services and use of API’s has accelerated due to heightened needs for systems to interoperate. Organisations are being pushed to keep up or risk competitive disruption. According to Forrester, “2019 will herald the first comprehensive industry cloud ecosystems, with extensible SaaS apps at their core.1” Learn how Progress Application Server for OpenEdge can help you get to the cloud and extend the capabilities of the application through APIs or RESTful services to improve extensibility, scalability and collaboration.

Utilising PASOE on the journey to Native Cloud Apps

There’s a new approach to app development. We call it serverless, but it’s also known as backend as a service (BaaS), function as a service (FaaS), cloud-native architectures, or microservices—just to name a few. Whatever you call it, this approach is giving OpenEdge developers new freedom to focus on frontend functionality and deliver better, more innovative user experiences.

How a Managed Database Service Can Help You Run Lean

As companies evaluating their OpenEdge deployments, one question that arises is “. Whether the cloud is the right place to go? Should I stay on-premises? Do I have the experience and resources to operate in a highly available environment? The Progress Managed Database Admin (MDBA) Service helps answer some of these questions. Hear what some OpenEdge users are doing, what benefit they see, and how they are saving operational costs. This service can help cut costs while also increasing performance, reliability, and availability of your OpenEdge applications.
