Progress Raises the Bar for Low-Code Development with First-of-Its-Kind Platform for Professional DevelopersProgress (NASDAQ: PRGS), the leading provider of application development and digital experience technologies, today revealed its strategy and approach for enabling high productivity application development. As part of this strategy, Progress announced the latest release of the Progress® Kinvey™ platform, delivering a combination of high productivity, full developer control over the app experience, and operational efficiency for modern workloads with dynamic scale. In addition, Progress has gained industry recognition for its low-code strategy, including being named a "Strong Performer" in The Forrester (News - Alert) Wave™: Low-Code Development Platforms For AD&D Professionals, Q1 2019.

While traditional low-code offerings are effective for simple apps, they often fall short for more complex apps and handcuff developers to a proprietary framework that may be ineffective or could stifle innovation. Expanding upon Progress' history for delivering the tools and technology that enable professional developers to work how they want, Progress has brought to market a new form of low-code platform - one that's focused on the professional developer - delivering new high productivity capabilities that speed the app development process, but still enable the delivery of differentiated multi-channel experiences that run natively across devices and platforms.
The Progress Kinvey High Productivity Platform "Traditional low-code platforms are adequate for helping companies rapidly roll out many tactical apps. However, they lack the ability to deliver high scale, truly engaging, consumer-grade experiences that offer consistency across channels," said Dmitri Tcherevik, CTO, Progress. "At the other end of the spectrum, DIY development projects deliver high-touch experiences, but are highly inefficient, slow to market and costly to maintain. IT teams need to focus on innovation, not infrastructure. Our focus on high productivity for professional developers changes all of that by bringing a solution to market that offers the best of both worlds, low-code development that results in flexible, scalable, omni channel apps." The Progress Kinvey platform offers:
Progress' strategy for high productivity application development has already gained significant momentum and has recently received positive positioning from leading independent analyst firms. "Digital disruption across industries is driving businesses to seek streamlined methods of building modern apps and digital experiences. While businesses need to rapidly transform themselves digitally to remain competitive, they cannot afford to sacrifice the quality, differentiation and security of the apps and experiences they build," said Arnal Dayaratna, Research Director, IDC (News - Alert). "Progress' strategy for high productivity app development empowers developers to accelerate the development of production-grade consumer and business apps while preserving the freedom and control that developers typically desire." The Forrester Wave™: Low-Code Development Platforms For AD&D Professionals, Q1 2019, released on March 13, evaluated the top 13 vendors in the market and named Progress a "Strong Performer". According to the report, "…areas of leadership for the [Progress Kinvey] platform include UX development tools, mobile application development tools, integration development tools and adapters, and AI development tools."1 The Kinvey platform is currently available.
