Infian Speeds Development of Critical Business Apps for Mobility with
Latest Progress® Software Platform, Now Generally Available
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
Software Corporation (NASDAQ: PRGS), a global software company that
simplifies and enables the development and deployment of business
applications, today announced that Infian,
a leading provider of Electronic
Health Records (EHR) for dialysis centers and the renal industry,
has chosen the new Progress®
OpenEdge® 11.2 application development platform, featuring the OpenEdge
Mobile product to help its clients save time and improve quality of
care. Using the new solution, Infian will now be able to make data
available securely - where it's needed and when it's needed - using the
latest in mobile technology.
Infian has been in the healthcare business for over 30 years and has
worked with Progress Software to develop comprehensive EHR solutions. As
the industry has evolved into its current cloud, mobility and "bring
your own device" environments, Infian is using the OpenEdge 11.2
platform to develop solutions to help medical centers and physician
offices easily and securely manage patient care while remaining
compliant.
Launched
earlier this month at the Progress
Software Global Partner Conference and now generally available, the
OpenEdge 11.2 platform with the Progress OpenEdge Mobile product
provides developers with a quick and easy way to deploy full enterprise
applications on mobile operating systems, including iOS and Android,
while also taking advantage of mobile device features. This "write once,
run anywhere" approach helps organizations bridge the so-called mobile
app gap.
By leveraging the powerful back-end capabilities of the OpenEdge
platform, it can increase developer productivity by 40% or more compared
to time-consuming, feature-limiting competitive solutions. The OpenEdge
Mobile product allows developers to continuously and efficiently update
applications as the mobile market evolves and new devices are
introduced. As a result, developers have a highly productive, simplified
development experience from start to finish from which they can
integrate end-user access to full features of critical business
applications on mobile devices.

devices and the business' ability to bring user-friendly apps that
securely and effectively integrate critical back-end data and
systems. The new OpenEdge Mobile product removes the need to learn
device-specific languages or development environments, while enabling
the creation of full-featured applications that can access all of the
most important device capabilities, such as camera, GPS, and microphone."
