Progress Software Announces Availability of eIDAS-supported Advanced Electronic Signatures and Qualified Electronic Signatures in Progress ShareFile Progress Software announced the availability of eIDAS-supported Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) and Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) in Progress ShareFile, its AI-powered document collaboration solution. The new capabilities allow organizations operating in the UK and EU to execute signatures directly within their document collaboration workflows—simplifying compliance and minimizing the need for separate signing tools. Under the EU’s eIDAS regulation, AES and QES represent the highest levels of identity assurance. Of the two, QES—legally equivalent to a handwritten signature—requires identity verification through a Qualified Trust Service Provider. Until now, many organizations have relied on fragmented workflows or standalone signing tools to meet these requirements, introducing compliance risk, operational inefficiency and unnecessary complexity. To address these challenges, ShareFile now enables organizations to meet eIDAS requirements without relying on separate tools or manual workarounds. Customers can verify signer identity through qualified trust services, complete high-assurance signing within a single streamlined workflow and maintain a clear, auditable record from preparation to storage. The new ShareFile eIDAS-supported signing experience includes: Supporting Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) and Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES); Integrating with Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs) for identity verification; Providing a secure, unified workspace for document preparation, signing and storage; Maintaining comprehensive audit trails for regulatory compliance and governance. Documents can now be prepared, signed and automatically stored back in their original folders—keeping all content within one secure environment and reducing the risk, cost and inefficiency associated with disconnected workflows. This consolidated approach helps regulated industries accelerate client and employee onboarding, streamline agreements and improve operational efficiency while supporting compliance standards. Unlike standalone e-signature tools, ShareFile features integrate AES and QES directly into a secure collaboration and workflow solution. Organizations can manage document collection, approvals, signing and storage in one place—reducing tool sprawl and simplifying how teams work with clients, partners and employees. By keeping sensitive documents and signed records within a secure, centralized system of record, ShareFile provides a stronger foundation for AI-enabled automation. Organizations can streamline document workflows, reduce manual effort and adopt AI-driven capabilities more confidently without compromising control over regulated data. The new AES and QES e-signature capabilities are now available in ShareFile. Annuncio • Mar 16

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.5% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (12% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings have declined by 0.5% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results.

Progress Announces Latest Release of Semaphore, Its Metadata Management and Semantic AI Platform Progress announced the latest release of Semaphore, its metadata management and semantic AI platform. Building on existing knowledge management capabilities, the Semaphore 5.10 platform release introduces intuitive AI-assisted knowledge modeling, extended mapping capabilities and classification filtering to enhance user productivity and simplify the knowledge management experience. In today's data-driven landscape, businesses recognize that knowledge is their most valuable asset. With digital content skyrocketing to an estimated 150 zettabytes, organizations grapple with complex, unstructured data. Unfortunately, much of this valuable information remains siloed and inaccessible, hindering productivity. Semaphore 5.10 addresses this challenge by introducing advanced modeling and classification capabilities, empowering users to navigate the ever-evolving field of knowledge management. Streamlined processes also enable businesses to achieve unprecedented efficiency and agility, driving success across diverse initiatives. What is new in Semaphore 5.10: AI Model Builder: Built to prioritize user productivity, the AI Model Builder is an AI-powered tool that simplifies the knowledge modeling experience. Powered by large language models (LLMs), the AI Model Builder accelerates the creation and enrichment of semantic knowledge models. Users can now create better semantic models more efficiently by starting with a seed concept and enhancing existing models with specific concepts or alternative labels. This feature empowers business experts to delve deeper into data, streamlining decision-making processes. Filtering of Classification Results by Publish Set: For improved collaboration, Semaphore 5.10 allows the same Classification Server instance to be shared across different project groups. This enables more efficient filtering and viewing of classification results from team projects. Different models with varying data sets can coexist within the same Classification Server instance, displaying results based on user-specified criteria. Mapping Relations Within the Current Model: Effective decision-making depends on reliable information and quality data. By creating mapping relations within current knowledge models, Semaphore 5. 10 enables the capture of similarities between models and the formation of mapping relationships. Users gain insights into how the different pieces fit together and facilitate knowledge sharing across the organization. Easy Import and Export of Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL): Using SHACL enhances data quality and consistency by defining rules and validations for data models. Semaphore 5. 10 introduces a user-friendly interface for importing and exporting SHACL. This feature streamlines processes, reduces time to value and makes custom SHACL easier to use. The Semaphore semantic AI platform enables users to manage knowledge models and automatically extract and classify both structured and unstructured data to generate rich semantic metadata. It removes layers of information complexity and helps organizations use enterprise data not just for knowledge but with the power of knowledge to act faster. Most recently, Semaphore was recognized as the leader in the 2024 Metadata Management Data Quadrant from SoftwareReviews, a division of IT research and consulting firm Info-Tech Research Group, and was named a Champion in SoftwareReviews' 2024 Metadata Management Emotional Footprint Awards, achieving the highest score of all ranked metadata management offerings.

The consolidation of tools also helps reduce skillset requirements and ongoing costs of hiring and retaining talent resources. The vendor-agnostic approach of Chef Courier extends investment across different technologies and removes the iterative and error-prone manual approach to managing change. Continued support for the open-source community and transparent licensing terms provide an alternative to ongoing changes introduced by competitive offerings. In addition, the availability of SaaS and marketplace options minimizes the need to manage tasks such as regular upgrades and incident response and resolution in the Chef environment.
