Making Progress With Infrastructure As Code
It has been almost two years since infrastructure software maker Progress Software spent $220 million to buy Chef, the open source automation tech vendor Chef that was helping to fuel the “infrastructure as code” trend. The deal enables Progress to push deeper into the DevOps and DevSecOps space with a company that over a dozen years had raised more than $100 million, collected more than 700 customers, and created a business model where more than 95 percent of its revenue was recurring.
Solving for scripts: Why IT should codify its fleet
System administrators perform numerous repetitive tasks daily in a typical IT department. IT teams are always looking for better ways to automate these tasks. Scripting can help—but it can go too far.
What to expect from Progress360 2022
Progress is a flexible company – the organization has been through (arguably) more platform-level developments than most enterprise software businesses, but in the contemporary age of cloud, data science and machine autonomy, that may be no bad thing.
Finding the right DX platform doesn't have to include a trade-off
Digital transformation is offering organizations of every size the promise of a new way of doing business, delivering efficiency, cost savings and the opportunity to enhance customer relations.
However, there are so many aspects to the changes digital brings to organizations that business leaders can feel overwhelmed. This is why a Digital Experience Platform (DXP) has become an essential tool for progressive companies. DXP links the IT function, business processes and marketing, but its most critical role is to enable brands to create personalized digital journeys for their customers.
At the office, unrewarded work often falls to women
If there’s extra work to be done at the office, more often than not a woman ends up doing it.
Whether it’s planning a birthday party, taking notes, or serving on a committee, studies have found that women are more likely than men to take on service-oriented tasks, which usually come with little benefit to their careers. And the disparity is even more pronounced for women of color.
Spiralling cybersecurity costs for businesses are mainly due to the rising use of cloud services in a world where data breaches and system outages are growing in prevalence and costs. Gartner predicts that 51% of spending across application and infrastructure software, business process services and system infrastructure markets will shift to the cloud by 2025, up from 41% in 2022.
In its latest Magic Quadrant for DXP report, Gartner has placed a strong emphasis on the composable capabilities of DXP vendors. In fact, all of the vendors in the Leaders quadrant have adopted a composable suite approach that includes web content management (WCM), customer data platform (CDP), data asset management (DAM), personalization, journey orchestration, analytics, and commerce components.
How to Incorporate Accessible Design Elements into Mobile Apps
Accessible design is normal design. So the designers and developers of mobile apps should not draw a line between accessible and normal or usual design. Most people are likely to experience some form of disability—either temporarily or permanently—at some point in their life. Plus, we all make use of accessibility features at times—even if we don’t think of them in that way. If you’ve ever used your mobile device’s operating system in dark mode, zoomed or adjusted the size of text in a Web browser, or dictated text into Siri, you’ve benefited from your device’s accessibility features.
Progress prides itself on streamlining the development life cycle for application creators. Its highly customizable UI components simplify the application development process to allow developers to deploy with speed and scale. Progress also advocates for accessibility by empowering software engineers to integrate accessibility features in their applications with built-in tailored tools. Developers can leverage Telerik UI for .NET MAUI to build native apps across operating systems and all supported desktop and mobile platforms.

Security Is Still An Afterthought In The Cloud-Native World
The security landscape is evolving rapidly and navigating these complexities can be difficult. Although there is a growing awareness of security and building it in at the start of the development lifecycle, this is not always the case, and getting it wrong can lead to serious setbacks. There are also differences in how security is approached from the relatively mature private cloud infrastructure perspective compared to cloud-native applications.
How to support your LGBTQ employees beyond Pride Month
Pride month may be over, but companies’ inclusivity efforts should march forward.
Every year on June 1st, what seems like countless companies change their brand logos to incorporate rainbows, release Pride-themed merchandise and even promote their own inclusive policies. But for employees a month-long performative Pride parade can often feel like more talk than action.

Everything You Need to Know About Protecting Legal Files but Were Afraid to Ask

Accessibility-first mindset needed to make tech design equitable
Accessibility and inclusion is often front of mind in design these days: think wheelchair ramps and accessible doors, for example. But when it comes to technology, some places are behind in the inclusion revolution.
Building in an Experimental Mindset in your Product Development Process
Experimentation is at the heart of innovation and while it is the norm in creative fields, it is not always the ‘go-to’ approach in business. Many associate it with failure – while your experiment might be successful, it might also fail – and in business, no one wants to fail. Consequently, many enterprise leaders often try to stay away from it. That is the reason why true innovation happens so rarely. But to create something new and unseen, you must get out of your comfort zone and experiment without knowing what lies ahead.
Healthcare companies have a lot on their IT plate, but often neglect their most vital assets: files, documents, and records. Securing the data held within these files is the most critical hurdle, especially since these files move around like a college kid on holiday in Europe.
Martech 360 Interview With Diane Murray, EMEA Strategy Lead, Progress
I have been working in the software industry all my working life in various roles. I started working for Computer Associates, as a customer services representative. After that, I moved into a direct tele-sales role and, when CA acquired Ingress, I moved into selling through partners. I had an incredible manager at this point, who took the time to mentor and coach me. After he moved to Progress, I followed him into a Partner Account Manager role. From this point, I started to grow within the company, working with distributors, partners and direct sales, and soon became an Enterprise Solution Selling Manager. I’m now in a Sales Management role, with the task of growing the Digital Experience Division for EMEA.
