Progress Software has boosted its cloud toolset with the availability of Progress Pacific’s new data connectivity and application capabilities as part of its Progress Pacific application platform-as-a-service (aPaaS).
Progress Pacific is a new Application Platform as a Service (aPaas) for building and managing powerful, data-rich business applications on any cloud, mobile or social platform.
Progress Pacific includes the new Progress DataDirect Cloud service, Progress Rollbase, and Progress OpenEdge 11.3 development software.
These new capabilities further Progress Software’s strategy to give anyone the ability quickly create, evolve, and customize connected business applications on demand.
The product is a platform which simplifies application development and deployment for anyone who wants to develop apps for consumers or businesses.
Think an easy drag-and-drop tool that does not require developers to have complicated programming language capability which includes new data connectivity and application capabilities.
The idea is to make modern application development a breeze to allow developers, independent software vendors and enterprises to create and roll out apps to meet the needs of their internal employees or customers’ needs.
Afterall, we live in a mobile world now where apps is the new rule of the game.
Below are more technical descriptions of the new capabilities.
Data Connectivity
The new Progress DataDirect Cloud service enables applications to easily integrate data from popular SaaS, relational database, Big Data, social, CRM and ERP systems.
The connection management service allows applications to be built in less time by using a single standards-based interface to execute SQL queries against a wide range of cloud data sources.
Application Development
New integrated business process management (BPM) and business rules management system (BRMS) capabilities dramatically simplify application customization using Progress OpenEdge 11.3 development software.
Flexible processes, rules and workflows can be easily configured to meet business requirements while greatly accelerating productivity.
In addition, an improved Progress Rollbase infrastructure ensures an enhanced user experience for standards-based business applications created with innovative drag-and-drop tools using any web browser.
Progress Rollbase is one of the industry’s most innovative rapid development platforms.
