The OpenEdge platform is a comprehensive platform for developing, deploying, integrating, and operating business applications:
- Application Framework — Progress Dynamics®
- Client Processing — GUI client, character client, WebSpeed® Agents, WebClient™, Open Client)

The platform is flexible and open. Its standards-based architecture allows you to build Future Proof applications. Through its architecture, your applications are insulated from changes that occur in the computing environment. A server-centric approach separates and leverages business logic from application interface code, which allows you to take advantage of multiple deployment and accessibility options for clients—devices, GUI, Web browsers, other applications. The Progress 4GL application logic executing in the Progress AppServer can interoperate with any client (4GL, WebClient, ActiveX®, HTML, or Java™); with any data source (Progress, ORACLE, JDBC, ODBC); with any application exchanging XML documents, creating APIs using OpenClient proxies or direct calls through HCL, Automation, pipes, or socket programming; and with any business using SonicMQ® messaging services.
