Progress Federal Solutions Delivers Trusted AI-Powered Innovation for the U.S. Government, Defense and Public Sector

Wholly owned subsidiary of Progress Software combines federal expertise with advanced AI technologies to accelerate digital transformation and mission success

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progress Software (Nasdaq: PRGS), the trusted provider of AI-powered digital experience and infrastructure software, today announced the launch of Progress Federal Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary established to serve the specialized needs of U.S. federal, defense and public sector organizations.

Unveiled at the Progress Data Platform Summit, held this week at the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., Progress Federal Solutions operates independently while leveraging the full strength of Progress Software’s technology portfolio. The subsidiary is designed to help government agencies accelerate digital transformation, meet compliance mandates and unlock the full potential of their AI and data initiatives to drive smarter, faster and more secure outcomes.

“While compliance is non-negotiable, agencies today are actively seeking agile, innovative solutions that deliver measurable outcomes,” said Cori Moore, President of Progress Federal Solutions. “Federal and defense agencies are embracing data-centric strategies and modernizing legacy systems at a faster pace than ever. That’s why we focus on enabling data-driven decision-making, faster time to value and measurable ROI. At Progress Federal Solutions, we don’t sell technology—we solve problems. We comprehend the nuances of federal acquisition, understand each agency’s mandate and speak the language of mission impact.”

A Proven Track Record of Innovation
Progress Federal Solutions builds on the foundation of MarkLogic, acquired by Progress Software in 2023. With a long-standing reputation in data management and integration, the team specializes in helping agencies unlock the value of complex, diverse data through AI, semantic technologies and secure infrastructure.

“Progress is a trusted provider of AI-enabled solutions that address complex data, infrastructure and digital experience needs,” said Michael Shrader, Vice President of Intelligence and Innovative Solutions at Carahsoft. “Their technologies empower government agencies to build high-impact applications, automate operations and scale securely to meet program goals. Carahsoft and our reseller partners recognize the importance of supporting initiatives that will comprehensively meet the unique and changing needs of our public sector customers.”

AI-Powered Solutions for Government Mandates
AI—particularly generative AI and machine learning—is a priority for government agencies due to its ability to interpret data and enable smarter operations by leveraging large language models (LLMs) in critical applications and systems. Merging generative AI with semantic technologies and knowledge graphs can deliver even greater value to digital ecosystems by applying human insight and context to data at a machine scale.

Progress Federal Solutions offers the Progress ^® Data Platform, an end-to-end, AI-powered solution designed to help organizations connect, curate and consume data across complex environments.

Key capabilities include:

Automated Semantics for Progressive AI: Combines graph and vector technologies to enable real-time semantic search and contextual understanding.
Progressive Graphs: Build knowledge models to identify gaps and drive mission-critical insights.
Progressive Vectors: Vectorize content on demand, reducing costs and improving flexibility across embedding models.

These innovations support responsible and effective implementation of federal AI mandates, helping agencies make smarter decisions, faster.

In addition to the Progress Data Platform, Progress Federal Solutions offers U.S. federal government and public sector customers all products within its portfolio and has achieved success in providing:

Progress^® Sitefinity^®: a cloud-first digital experience platform with intuitive GenAI-powered tools for content management, personalization and journey optimization.
Progress^® Chef^®: automation software for configuring, deploying and managing IT infrastructure and workload orchestration in a secure and compliant way.
Progress^® LoadMaster^®: high-performance application delivery controller (ADC) and load balancer, offered as virtual, hardware or cloud-native to provide availability, scalability and security for business-critical applications.
