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.
“Customer and partner response to the Progress Pacific launch in June has been extremely positive and we are now delivering on our vision. It’s clear that the move to aPaaS is gaining momentum as time-to-market and data capabilities in new apps are key requirements for developers and end users. Pacific addresses these needs with rich data, visual design and open deployment capabilities in a single platform,” John Goodson, Chief Product Officer at Progress 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.
