Progress Software® Technology Provider
You’ve got a Progress Application, Would You Like a New, Solid, Programming Support Option?
You may be a large enterprise, a medium size organisation or a regional business running one or more software system based on the Progress Relational Database or 4GL from Progress Software Corporation (NASDAQ: PRGS). You may have a manufacturing application, a retailing system or perhaps another specialist system which supports part of your business operation.
Changing your Progress application support provider is no easy decision. So why change?
Programming and database support for computer systems based on Progress can be secured from the original vendor or reseller. But over time those original support options may become less attractive, in some cases change is forced on you where the original support provider is no longer available. Or maybe that provider has changed their customer focus, or their level of service has fallen below what you need it to be. They may have increased their charges or may no longer have enough technically skilled people in their support team.
All Progress system support relies on skilled and experienced programmers, combined with competent understanding of your specific Progress application. Some years ago the Progress software industry was composed of system houses usually with a lead product and teams of developers who would build and support that product. In addition the houses would build custom applications for other clients.
Large enterprises would typically run their own in-house teams because this was cheaper and secured the critical business support within the organisation. This provided a form of apprenticeship for Progress programmers. In recent years, the effects of application commodotisation, outsourcing, and offshoring, plus the advent of other popular programming languages, has been to disrupt the supply of time-served highly skilled Progress programmers in the UK.
