Case Study: Vertex Inc frees developers to focus on core tax technology with Progress DataDirect

Vertex Inc frees developers to focus on tax tech with Progress Software DataDirect in 2–3 weeks

Vertex Inc., a provider of enterprise corporate tax solutions, faced the challenge of needing to support its products on a vast array of database platforms. This requirement forced their development team to devote significant effort to creating and maintaining a complex, custom data connectivity layer, diverting resources from their core focus of tax technology. To address this, they turned to Progress Software and implemented its DataDirect Connect for ODBC solution.

By adopting Progress DataDirect's standards-based ODBC drivers, Vertex eliminated the need for its proprietary connectivity code. The solution provided broad, high-performance support for multiple operating systems and database types. This freed Vertex's development personnel to concentrate on revenue-producing projects, significantly reduced the complexity and time involved in product updates, and provided them with a highly responsive support partner in Progress Software.
