Progress Software Corporation (PRGS)

Infrastructure software with counted administration staff. Read November 9, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending November 30, 2025, filed January 20, 2026. Ranked 110 of the 238 Technology companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing counts 2,801 employees at November 30, 2025 by function, so the sales, support and product development staff are read at software publishers and the 298 in administration at management of companies.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 51% now, 68% at the end of 2027, 73% at the end of 2028, 74% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 74% desk work, 23% people work and 3% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 26% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 62% becomes checking a model's work and 9% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
