About Us
Founded in 1986, Progressive Research started out writing software for stockbrokers and financial analysts to track the technical behavior of stocks as well as the overall markets. Back then, personal computers were fairly new (the original IBM PC was released in 1982), software was hard to find at best and way out of reach for the average business owner. If you did have a computer, you had to learn much more than you ever wanted to know about this new technology. That's where we came in.
So much has changed since then, but we are still asked why some software has to be so difficult to use. And quite frankly, we don't have an answer for that! All of our systems are designed with the end user in mind and our support doesn't expect you to know how it all works. We're very willing to explain it in simple terms, if that's what you want. But, we will also "just come fix it", if you don't need to know.

Over the years, we have serviced hundreds of clients from small family run operations to Fortune 500 companies. Some of the industries we have developed software for include, hospitality, manufacturing, real estate, medical, retail, catering, finance, transportation, and tourism.

And boy, have we witnessed change! From 64k single sided 10" floppy disks and 13" green phosphor CRT screens to 300gig 3 1/2" hard disks and 21" LCD flat screen monitors. From about a half dozen flavors of DOS, each with its own cryptic command line syntax to point and click, plug and play, visual object oriented programming, and on it goes.

As you can probably tell by now, we're not in this just to grab some money and run, we're in it for the ride. And what a ride it's been!
