During Colleen Smith’s main product session at ProgressNEXT 2017, Colleen interviewed John Harlow, VP Professional Services at Progress and Jan Aleman, founder of Servoy. The interview and discussion involved the modernization of complex Progress applications, and underlined the importance of the delivery of a great User Experience. It’s a brief interview but it lends insight into what is happening with modernization in the Progress world. Progress’s approach to modernization greatly reduces the risks experienced by other methods while delivering a superior User Experience.
