Progress Software is expecting to bring on estimated 50 new employees for its Massachusetts operation in 2011, as it grows farther into the real-time business management software market, according to President Richard Reidy.  He also stated that the organization expects to add about 200 more worldwide staff members in 2012, and hiring in Massachusetts will range from R&D to corporate office staff.

One major reason for this boost is the organization's Responsive Process Management (RPM) suite, which helps companies adjust dynamically to events by detecting opportunities and threats in real time. Progress is targeting this at capital markets, telecommunications and transportation, such as the airline industry.
