“ I wanted to know about

implementation complexity. Lekhter
told me that each rollout to a new
user group took only a week of
development. They push new
business capabilities into production
on a monthly basis. Lehkter credits the
ease of development to the heavy
lifting provided by Lightning Connect
and Progress connectivity.
