Why the Cloud?• SaaS is the fastest growing market for software

• Progress wants to help its Application Partners to branch out from on-premise application licenses to SaaS licensing

• The Cloud is the easiest way to move to SaaS

• But Progress Application Partners don’t necessarily have experience supporting production applications or the Cloud
