BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
(NASDAQ: PRGS), today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc.
in the Visionaries quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise
Application Platform as a Service (aPaaS). The Gartner report, authored
and published by Yefim Natis, Massimo Pezzini, Mark Driver, David
Mitchell Smith, Kimihiko Iijima and Ross Altman on January 7, 2014 notes
that, "Enterprise CIOs, IT planners and architects at a growing number
of organizations are turning to the cloud for their new application
initiatives." The Progress®
Pacific™ platform-as-a-service (PaaS) enables rapid
creation and deployment of data-driven business applications that are
unlimited by device or cloud.
According to the report, "Enterprise IT users too are coming to the
aPaaS market in increasing numbers. With the growing adoption of SaaS by
mainstream enterprise business and of IaaS by mainstream enterprise IT,
more organizations have become familiar with the benefits of cloud
computing and more have become dependent on cloud resources. aPaaS is
engaged to customize and extend SaaS. It is also engaged by users that
have become comfortable with the use of IaaS and now wish to increase
their productivity and delegate more responsibility to the cloud service
providers by subscribing directly to application infrastructure."
"We believe being positioned as a visionary in Gartner's Magic Quadrant
for enterprise aPaaS reaffirms our strategy of delivering innovative new
products and features that help businesses of all sizes take advantage

around the world are struggling with resource constraints, increasing
time-to-market pressures and complex technology challenges. Today's
applications require the ability to integrate multiple SaaS and
on-premise data sources, support ever-changing mobile platforms and have
the flexibility to be deployed anywhere. With the Progress Pacific
platform, we are providing both developers and business users with a
multi-dimensional platform that elegantly addresses these challenges,
enabling them to quickly solve problems faster and create market
