Bingo! I came across Progress first time this week in a different context (Indian startup scene) - they portray themselves as incubators here (https://www.progress.com/incubator). Have a fancy application system et al.. even stress how they don't take any equity.

Turns out in lieu of essentially a deskspace and maybe wifi they mandate the incubated startups to use their Cloud platform products - aha lockin! This is how shitty enterprises survive. When they can't find new customers, they come to India and tomtom around as evangelists & incubators and other $100 words in self-description.

Well, to be fair, Progress has had traction in India as an application environment for decades now, so it only makes sense that there be an iCloud'ification of their whole product line - all the cool kids are doing it..
