Our vision and DigitalFactory solutions are a direct result of living these tenets each day. We know technology is not the entire answer.

Introducing Progress DigitalFactory
Progress DigitalFactory is a new cloud-based platform that provides a holistic, extensible solution for businesses to create omni-channel digital experiences. DigitalFactory solutions enable collaboration, flexibility and ease for IT, marketers, developers and business users looking to implement digital transformation within their organizations. It provides ease-of-use like no other because DigitalFactory solutions empower users that need to manage digital assets or define the customer journey to manage their workflow, instead of having to solely rely on others to initiate changes.
Todays announcement highlights the three core solutions which will be released in the coming months, with additional solutions planned for 2017.
DigitalFactory for Sites Large globally dispersed organizations are faced with a number of web-related challenges: difficulty managing a large number of properties and assets, inability to share content consistently across web and mobile and dependencies on local resources and budgets. There are also a plethora of governance and regulatory requirements to navigate.
DigitalFactory for Sites solution enables the management and scale of websites and digital assets to elevate a businesses global presence, while maintaining necessary security and governance requirements. It enables easy content creation, management and reuse across web assets, so digital marketers can focus on creating new content, not refactoring existing assets.
DigitalFactory for Sites solution also provides the ability to develop and push web assets in a timely manner while supporting scale with effective automation. It ensures operational management by helping business users provide the right content, in the right context and at the right time. It also fosters collaboration on a multitude of levels by not only breaking IT dependencies that hinder execution, but by fostering an easy-to-use approach that supports the business user.
DigitalFactory for Engagement Multi-national organizations large and small are struggling with omni-channel development. Application backlogs stymie transformation efforts. New customer channels and personalized experiences are a struggle to deliver because incorporating existing systems and the data needed to create those experiences is difficult, at best.
Further, there continues to be a debate over who owns digital transformation is it the CIO, the CMO or is it a collaborative effort? According to our research, 72% of survey respondents feel IT is more likely to be the final decision maker/budget holder for digital initiatives; and 78% say better alignment of IT and marketing is needed to deliver on digital transformation efforts.i
DigitalFactory for Engagement is the only solution that brings together the CIO and CMO for seamless decision making. It takes a content-first approach, providing the delivery of an appealing multi-channel experience consistently across business lines, assets and properties, regardless of device choice. It offers full control of digital assets and provides an author once capability, focused on creation and reuse of content versus traditional siloed channel approaches.
DigitalFactory for Engagement solution provides new levels of customer journey optimization by offering marketers a single view of the customer experience via a unified content command center. In addition, IT and development can build and deploy websites and mobile apps, within hours, leveraging a single platform and codebase. It is the only multi-function solution that combines mobile and web seamlessly as it tracks, personalizes and optimizes the customer journey while helping to enforce security, governance, workflow and compliance without sacrificing agility.
