Progress
today announced its position as a “Visionary” in the newly published
Gartner “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Application Platform as a
Service, Worldwide” report.1 The Progress aPaaS platform,
Progress® Pacific®, offers a comprehensive way to build engaging
application UIs that yield extended value via a wide spectrum of devices
and technologies.
This is the second year Gartner has evaluated the Enterprise Application
Platform as a Service technology (aPaaS) landscape. Progress was
positioned as a “Visionary” for the second consecutive year, due to its
completeness of vision and ability to execute.
According to Gartner, “More visionary users recognize that aPaaS offers
an opportunity to create unique cloud solutions (unlike the generally
available SaaS), while avoiding the burden of developing custom cloud
capabilities (unlike the use of plain IaaS). The rate of adoption of
aPaaS is growing and so is the maturity of the offerings.”1
Progress Pacific provides developers with both productivity and control
for cloud-based apps, and is a complete platform for data-driven
application development, deployment and management. Comprised of leading
best-of-breed solutions–Progress
Rollbase®, Telerik®
Platform, Modulus™,
Progress
DataDirect Cloud® and Progress
Easyl®–developers can build modern web-based applications and
engaging mobile apps that leverage any data, connect to any “thing” and
deploy in any cloud.
“We believe our inclusion as a visionary in the Magic Quadrant for
enterprise aPaaS confirms that we have done an outstanding job of
demonstrating a thoroughly modern path forward, and our current
portfolio reflects a well-conceived foundation on which to build out
additional services and capabilities," said Phil Pead, President and CEO
of Progress. "It’s a reaffirmation of the vision and strategy inspired
by our customers and partners.”
