Case Study: BOARD International achieves cloud connectivity and faster customer deployment with Progress Software

Board Connects Customers to the Cloud with Progress

BOARD International, a global BI/CPM software company with more than 3,000 customers, needed a way to connect on-premise data to its cloud offering while meeting performance and security expectations. Working with Progress Software and its Progress DataDirect Cloud connectivity product, BOARD sought a fast, reliable solution to support its move to the cloud and stay competitive with larger vendors.

Progress Software implemented DataDirect Cloud in about three months, helping BOARD launch its cloud product within the year and avoiding the need to build an in-house connector. The result was faster customer onboarding—new cloud customers can be up and running in about 10 minutes—plus an additional OEM revenue opportunity, with six customers already using the connector and an expected 75–80% adoption over the next few years.
