We are no strangers to the SQL world either. OpenEdge supports SQL in addition to ABL, and our DataDirect connectivity products set the standard for ODBC and JDBC connectivity, already embedded in many popular applications.

Deepening Our Data Capabilities in the Age Of AI
Last year, we added the MarkLogic Multi-Model Database to our portfolio, along with Semaphore, which extends our capabilities to include the management of documents, graphs, geospatial, time series and more. We believe that this combination of data platforms provides the means for our customers to embrace AI, leveraging private information with LLMs using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

We are convinced that MariaDB would be an excellent addition to the Progress portfolio, providing leading relational database capabilities to customers with applications built with a wide variety of languages and approaches.

The Ideal Long-Term Partner
Customer success, along with innovation and acquisition, is foundational to our strategy and is reflected by our high retention rates and customer satisfaction scores.

Our product commitment and customer relationships are measured not just in years, but in decades. We have a track record of success that goes back more than 40 years and are proud to have customers who have been with us since the beginning and continue to rely on and expand their use of our products.

Progress is not just a database company, however. We have a robust portfolio of infrastructure software products to build, deploy and manage enterprise applications. We believe this robust portfolio and proven financial success and stability make Progress the ideal long-term partner for MariaDB.
