Progress and Sigma Software Distribution Partner to Help Companies Harness the Power of Data

Progress is one of 13 vendors evaluated for its completeness of vision and ability to execute

Progress announced it has been recognized by Gartner as a Leader in the new 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Multiexperience Development Platforms (MXDP).

“In our opinion, Gartner’s acknowledgement of us as a Leader in the MXDP Magic Quadrant is a testament to our ability to deliver and we’re truly humbled by the recognition.”

According to Gartner, “a multiexperience development platform (MXDP) offers professional and citizen developers a range of front-end development tools and back-end services that enable rapid, scalable development of seamless, targeted and ambient user experiences across devices and channels. The design-time and runtime tools and services are delivered via a unified development environment that has loosely coupled front- and back-end architectures.”

Progress was one of 13 vendors evaluated for inclusion within the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Multiexperience Development Platforms report. Gartner states in its research, “The MXDP market contains some of the largest enterprise software vendors that serve the needs of development teams. It also includes up-and-coming vendors that offer independent development platform options. All MXDPs support the need of professional developers to use high-control development tools (in order words, code-centric tools), and most also support development using low-code approaches for higher developer productivity. However, the primary purpose of these platforms is not to support low-code development, but rather the creation of multiple types of app in support of the digital user experience across devices and interaction modalities.”
