Case Study: Dialog Axiata achieves faster, lower-cost application development with Progress Software

Creating Technology to Address a Unique Market Need

Dialog Axiata needed a way to help medium-sized businesses in Sri Lanka build modern software quickly and affordably, without the high cost or complexity of traditional enterprise systems. Working with Kingslake, the company supported a new aPaaS offering based on Progress Software’s Rollbase RAD platform to address this market gap.

Progress Software’s Rollbase was deployed locally at Dialog Axiata’s data center and integrated with billing systems and mobile APIs to power SmartApps.lk. The result was a browser-based platform that let customers create custom applications without coding in one-sixth the time and at one-tenth the cost of comparable commercial software, while also improving productivity and competitiveness.
