Brixxs uses Progress Rollbase to enable Dutch taxi companies to
comply with new, stricter regulations within three days of them coming
into effect
ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
(NASDAQ: PRGS) has helped registered taxi companies in the Netherlands
to quickly comply with new regulation and improve the quality of their
services in large cities. By using Progress®
Rollbase™, part of the Progress®
Pacific™ application development platform, Brixxs,
a Dutch systems integrator and technology vendor, has developed and
updated applications that have allowed taxi companies known as ATOs
(Allowed Taxi Organizations) to comply with strict new regulations
introduced by the Dutch government, within three days of them coming
into effect.
Aimed at applying stricter regulation for taxi drivers and companies,
the new legislation was introduced in July to improve customer service
in large Dutch cities. The Progress Rollbase product was selected by
Brixxs because it allowed it to rapidly develop applications in line
with these new laws and ensure that ATOs were fully compliant with all
aspects of the new legislation as quickly as possible.
As part of its work on the ATO applications, Brixxs was able to use
components from its existing Rollbase private cloud platform. Brixxs was
also able to save considerable time and money for all relevant ATO
organizations by updating all standard ATO applications and providing an
easy way to centrally release updates.
Executive Quotes:
"Change, both inside and outside of the company walls, has become a
structural part of business today, whether it's as a result of new laws
and regulations or other changes in the business world," explains Freddy
Jaarsma, director of Brixxs. "Increasingly, the biggest challenge modern
businesses face is that these changes have to take place faster and
faster. This means the solutions you use should also be able to deal
with change. The advantage of the Progress Rollbase platform is that it
has the speed, accessibility and flexibility required to develop
applications as and when circumstances dictate."
Mark Armstrong, vice president and managing director of EMEA at
Progress, said: "The ability to be able to react quickly and effectively
when change occurs is the measure of any successful organization. By
enabling organizations to quickly develop powerful business apps with
minimum coding through its drag-and-drop functionality, the Progress
Rollbase application development platform allows our partners to keep
pace with the rate of change. By being able to roll out business
applications that reflect this ability to respond to change, we believe
that Progress Rollbase provides both partners and end-users alike with a
significant competitive advantage."
