New Survey Finds Demand for PaaS on the RiseLONDON --(Business Wire)-- A new age of 'Develop Your Own Application' (DYOA) to meet ever-changing business requirements is driving demand for rapid application development Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) technologies, according to new research sponsored by app development and data integration software company Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS).

Executive Quotes: Matt Robinson, vice president, technology at Progress, said, "The rise of 'Develop Your Own Application' is the latest trend to reshape the way we work, riding hot on the tail of 'Bring Your Own Device' and 'Bring Your Own Application.'

The benefits of using a rapid application development PaaS to improve speed and productivity should not be lost in the excitement of the DYOA age, and this research reveals that many are beginning to wake up to the benefits they can provide."
