Progress to Discuss Real-Time Data Integration with Salesforce at Dreamforce 2015 BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Progress (NASDAQ:PRGS) today announced that experts from its Data Connectivity and Integration business unit will address a range of integration challenges facing todays enterprises at Dreamforce 2015, September 15-18 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

Real-time data integration and connectivity has always been a challenge for businesses, and accessing legacy data from Salesforce apps is no different. As companies leverage Salesforce, there is a tendency to want to consolidate legacy data onto the new platform. However, migration often presents challenges, said Michael Benedict, President, Data Connectivity and Integration, Progress. At Dreamforce we will discuss those challenges and how users can access back-office data instantly and more easily from Salesforce1 applications.

The Progress DataDirect Cloud offering is the fastest way to bring back office data such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server into Salesforce1 and Force.com applications.
