Most enterprise decision makers see digital transformation as a critical imperative, yet few have reached full production and roll out. That’s why Progress has announced its strategic vision and Progress DigitalFactory solutions, to enable enterprises to harness the full potential of digital business.
“When we set forth on our own digital transformation journey, we identified four fundamentals for success—optimize customer engagement, collaborate with partners, unburden IT and simplify operations,” said Phil Pead, CEO, Progress. “Our vision and DigitalFactory solutions are a direct result of living these tenets each day. We know technology is not the entire answer. Rather, it‘s part of a larger perspective that includes a shift in thinking and stronger levels of collaboration between the CIO and CMO. Progress has the experience, capabilities and technology to partner with our community of digital decision makers to ensure we’re arming them with the right tools to put them on the path they need to succeed.”
“There is no doubt that the right digital capabilities will provide an edge for Asian organizations functioning in the dynamic and competitive business environment we are witnessing today. However, organizations still struggle with where to begin and how to execute their digital strategies. Progress DigitalFactory is designed to addresses these challenges by seamlessly integrating digital efforts across the board.” said Benjamin Wong, Managing Director, Asia, Progress.
