Chef: Scaling the Business Post-Close
A major benefit of joining Progress is gaining access to the significant resources of a public company with a proven 40-year record of accomplishment, stability and global success.
What Sets Progress Apart
Progress pursues acquisitions that strengthen our portfolio, yet also give the acquired company greater opportunity for future growth. With 100,000 enterprise customers, 3.5 million application developers and 1,700 ISVs, all serviced by a seasoned global sales organization, acquired companies have instant access to the infrastructure and tools needed to succeed at scale.
Once welcomed into Progress’ global ecosystem of customers, partners and communities, acquired products and customers can really thrive. By reinvesting nearly 20% of revenue into R&D, the team can often accelerate roadmaps and expand into new geographic markets. The acquired company also benefits when Progress’ high-performing public relations and marketing teams get to work.
Summary
- Greater opportunity for future growth
