History

1980s: DLC to Progress Software

Progress Software was co-founded by several MIT graduates, including Joseph W. Alsop, Clyde Kessel, and Chip Ziering in 1981.[4] Originally called Data Language Corporation (DLC), the company changed its name to Progress Software in 1987, the same name of its main product, Progress.

1990s: Public company

In 1991, Progress Software joined the NASDAQ.

2000s: Broad expansion

In 2002, Progress Software acquired Stylus Studio developer eXcelon Corporation for approximately $24 million.[5] In 2003, Progress Software acquired DataDirect Technologies for $88 million.[6] In 2004, Progress Software acquired Persistence Software for $16 million.[7] In 2005, Progress acquired complex event processing company Apama.[8] In January 2006, Progress Software acquired Actional Corporation.[9] In 2006, Progress Software acquired Neon Systems, a company specializing in modernizing 3270 applications.[10][11]

In 2008, Progress Software acquired Xcalia, a data integration company, and Mindreef, which developed SOAPscope products. In September 2008, Progress acquired IONA Technologies, developer of service-oriented architecture platforms Artix and Orbix, for $146 million.[12][13]

2010s: Focusing and rebranding

In 2010, Progress Software acquired business process management vendor Savvion Inc.[14][15] In April 2011, Progress Software sold their SWIFT integration product "ADS" (formally Iona's "Artix Data Services") to C24 Technologies Ltd. The product was re-branded to its former name "Integration Objects".

In 2012, Progress announced its shift to become a much more narrowly focused specialist vendor, looking to sell or decommission most of their existing products.[16][17] In June 2012, the company sold its open source division FuseSource, which was spun out from the IONA business in October 2010, to Red Hat.[18] In October 2012, Progress Software sold the brands Sonic, Savvion, Actional and DataXtend (DXSI) to Trilogy which created the company Aurea Software.[19] In December 2012, the Orbix, Orbacus and Artix product lines were sold to Micro Focus International for $15 million.[20]

In 2013, Progress Software acquired Rollbase Inc.[21] and Software AG acquired Apama activities from Progress Software.[22] In 2014, Progress acquired Cincinnati-based Modulus.[23] Also in 2014, Progress acquired Telerik, a provider of application development tools.[24][25] In 2019, Progress Software acquired Ipswitch, Inc., an IT management vendor known for its MOVEit managed file transfer platform.[26][27]

In May 2016, Progress Software re-branded as "Progress" in an effort to "shed any doubts it was not living up to its name".[28]

2020s: Targeted expansion

In 2020, Progress Software announced the acquisition of Chef Software Inc., the developers of the Chef configuration management tool. The acquisition was completed by October 2020.[29][30][31] In 2021, Progress Software acquired Kemp Technologies, who build load balancing products.[32] The acquisition was completed on November 1, 2021.[33] In 2023, Progress Software acquired database vendor MarkLogic Corporation.[34] In 2024, Progress Software acquired ShareFile from Cloud Software.[35] The acquisition was completed on October 31, 2024.
