Frank Hilhorst - President of Progressive Consulting Inc. |
| Frank started working with PROGRESS in 1992. As the principal software architect of SDD Inc., he managed the design and development of the JAZZ hospitality billing system. JAZZ has been implemented in over 1000 hotels in more than 10 countries. The JAZZ system owed its success to its ability to integrate with other systems in terms of sharing data and UI components. This project allowed Frank to gain a broad knowledge and deep appreciation for Progress' capabilities related to integration and support for non native UI's. Building upon this experience, Frank started his own consulting firm, Progressive Consulting Inc (PCI), in 2006. PCI focuses on helping its clients gain a competitive advantage through integration and adaptability. The key to achieving this adaptability is to use layering as a way to isolate the business logic. This allows for easy integration and makes investments in UI's that can easily be ported to other platforms. |
