History

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. In May 2016, Progress Software re-branded as "Progress" in an effort to "shed any doubts it was not living up to its name".[5]

In October 2002, Progress Software acquired Stylus Studio developer eXcelon Corporation for approximately $24 million.[6] n December 2003, Progress Software acquired DataDirect Technologies for $88 million.[7] In 2004, Progress Software acquired Persistence Software for $16 million.[8] In 2005, Progress acquired complex event processing company Apama.[9] In January 2006, Progress Software acquired Actional Corporation.[10] In March 2006, Progress Software acquired Neon Systems, a company specializing in modernizing 3270 applications.[11][12]

In June 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.[13][14] 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 2010, Progress Software acquired business process management vendor Savvion Inc.[15][16]

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.[17][18] 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.[19] In October 2012, Progress Software sold the brands Sonic, Savvion, Actional and DataXtend (DXSI) to Trilogy which created the company Aurea Software.[20] In December 2012, the Orbix, Orbacus and Artix product lines were sold to Micro Focus International for $15 million.[21]

In 2013, Progress Software acquired Rollbase Inc.[22] and Software AG acquired Apama activities from Progress Software.[23]

In 2014, Progress acquired Cincinnati-based Modulus.[24] Also in 2014, Progress acquired Telerik, a provider of application development tools.[25][26]

In 2019, Progress Software acquired Ipswitch, Inc., an IT management vendor known for its MOVEit managed file transfer platform.[27][28] On September 8, 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] On September 23, 2021, Progress Software acquired Kemp Technologies, who build load balancing products.[32] The acquisition was completed on November 1, 2021.[33] On January 3, 2023, Progress Software acquired database vendor MarkLogic Corporation.[34]

Data breaches

In 2023, a security vulnerability in Progress-owned file transfer software MOVEit was exploited in a data breach affecting various companies and government organizations.[44] A running total maintained by cybersecurity company Emsisoft showed that more than 2,500 organizations were known to have been impacted as of October 25, 2023 with more than 80 percent of those organizations being US-based.[45] The cybercriminal organization Clop was alleged to have been partially responsible for the attacks,[46] and claimed responsibility for breaches of 1st Source, the BBC, British Airways, the New York City Department of Education,[47] Putnam Investments, and Shell among others.[48][49]
