Progress' responsive UI solution to cut costs for firms

Nasdaq-listed Progress Software Corporation today said Pacific, its platform-as-a-service for building and managing business apps on cloud, mobile or social platforms that was recently integrated with responsive UI (user interface), would help enterprises and startups cut costs by building apps at once and making them compatible with multiple devices like smartphones, tablets, desktops, laptops and televisions.

Responsive UI refers to the way a particular technology solution interacts with the end user on multiple devices. It enables seamless transition, real-time, no matter where and on what device the end touch point is.

“The whole idea of responsive UI is to build the UI once and later that should adapt itself to multiple devices and web browsers without requiring any re-engineering or building any program artifacts. Our approach towards responsive UI is that it should adapt to any size and any device,” Ramesh Loganathan, vice president and managing director, Progress Software, told mediapersons here on Monday.

Progress drives mobile strategy and common cloud platform from its 300-strong product development centre in Hyderabad. It employs over 1,100 professional globally.
