Productivity enhancements center on the platform's integrated development environment, Progress® OpenEdge® Architect. The latest version reduces the time required to develop applications that can simultaneously deploy through multiple UIs, vital as demand increases for those applications that need to be reached via both traditional web browsers, and through mobile devices.
"To me, the best part is that you can use these new features without having to rewrite your applications - you're up and running immediately," said Carl Verbiest, product manager for Claerhout Computer Engineering. "Migration to the latest version is quick and easy, as it always is with OpenEdge."
"Today's business end-users expect to be able to access their mission critical applications and data anytime, anywhere," said Colleen Smith, Managing Director, Software as a Service. "UI design and user personalization are critical to cloud-based application deployment, and with OpenEdge we have simplified it. Ultimately, this increases developer productivity, while supporting the customer's usability requirements."
Increased flexibility, improved performance and support of many user interface technologies are critical to the development of commercial SaaS-based applications that require more sophisticated UIs. Progress offers over 100 pre-packaged controls for advanced features such as calendars, grids, and more. The latest version expands the richness and reach for developing SaaS applications, with an understanding of who the user is and how they need to interact with the system.
"The latest release of OpenEdge has significantly improved the performance of our Ajax applications. It allowed us to drastically reduce CPU usage and data traffic and enables native communication with our Ajax client," said Peter van Dam, Managing Director, Future Proof Software.
