Title: Vendor Analyst Event: Progress Software Analyst Day
Location: Fairmont Copley Plaza, Boston, MA
Description: Hello from Progress Software Analyst Relations,
Now that we’re rapidly approaching Progress’ next Analyst Day in Boston, I wanted to update you on our plans and ask what you’d most like to hear about from our executives that day.
To recap, our next Analyst Day will be Thursday, January 29 at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, from 8:30 to early afternoon.
With integration of the former IONA Technologies well under way, we’re planning on making the resulting product roadmaps and strategies centerpiece of our agenda. As you can imagine, there are many exciting directions to pursue, and they’re being charted now by our executive team.
That executive team has been strengthened recently by the promotion of Rick Reidy to the position of Chief Operating Officer, with expanded responsibilities for the product development, marketing, sales, support and services for all Progress Software product lines. Rick joined Progress in 1985 as one of the original developers of the company’s flagship database product, now called OpenEdge. He led DataDirect Technologies where he and his management team more than doubled the revenue to more than $70 million in four years.
We hope that your schedule will allow you to join us at the Fairmont Copley in Boston on January 29th. Meanwhile, please let us know if there are specific agenda items you would like to see addressed, or if you have other Progress-related topics you’d like to pursue between now and then.
Best regards,
Paul LaBelle, Industry Analyst Relations
