OpenEdge Application Modernization
Progress Professional Services offers application modernization services to help you develop and evolve your mission-critical business applications to run on the latest Progress® OpenEdge® technology with the best functionality and user experience.
What Is Application Modernization?
Migrating a character, GUI or early web application to a modern web-based platform is the most common example of application modernization, but it can also include rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, rewriting or using modern development tools to transform existing applications.
When You Partner With Progress Professional Services To Modernize Your OpenEdge Application, We Help You:
Keep your application technology and architecture secure and state-of-the-art.
Enrich your application to meet changing user expectations.
Add application features that continue to support users in their effort to increase productivity and customer satisfaction.
Your digital transformation focuses on reducing technical debt while developing and deploying a roadmap for your mission-critical business application’s - and your business’ - future.
Our Application Evolution Methodology
When you are ready to modernize your application, reach out to the experts on the Progress Professional Services team for guidance. We offer an approach to modernization that follows a standard process but is customized to the needs of the individual client.
Your Modernization Journey Starts Here
Every OpenEdge application modernization project begins with a modernization assessment from the Professional Services team. We work with you to identify a recommended architecture and then define a roadmap to achieve goals specific for the environment and organization.

Modernization Assessments Include:

- A charter document to determine the approach and iteration plan of the modernization project.
