1139.0. "PROGRESS competitive info needed" by PRESS1::SPERLING () Thu Apr 16 1992 17:20

    Does anyone have any recent competitive information on PROGRESS as both
    a database and a 4GL (I have posted this note in the RALLY competition
    notes file also) ?  Have we done any benchmarks ? Their big message to
    my customer is that they can develop the application on the PC and run
    it anywhere.  
    
    Do they run in clusters ? 
    
    Do they have any decision support tools , report writers ?
    
    Any knockoffs would be appreciated !!
    
    Thanks,

1139.1It's in the mailMRKTNG::SILVERBERGMark Silverberg DTN 264-2269 TTB1-5/B3Fri Apr 17 1992 14:0615
    Progress Software Corp. and Digital recently signed a CSH agreement
    which allows for the joint markting and selling of the Progress
    RDBMS engine and their Tools products.  The tools include a 4Gl, data
    dictionary, application programmer tools and end user tools.  Their
    strong points are their tools which run acroos a number of RDBMS
    engines, and their service.  They have been rated the number 1 RDBMS
    vendor for service and support for the past 3-4 years.
    
    I am forwarding a copy of the Datapro and Seybold reports on Progress,
    some recent press clippings and PR releases, and a copy of their
    presentation given to the recent Sales Support Symposium in Boston.
    
    Hope it helps.
