In a global economy increasingly interconnected and dependent on technology, enterprise application integration has become a critical component of success. To achieve more efficient interaction with customers and partners alike, the enterprise must strive for integration of software and business-critical applications externally as well as internally. But many organizations lack the cohesive infrastructure that would simplify this task. They have developed an architecture “by accident,” as it were – an inefficient network of various technologies, programs and systems developed over years to satisfy one specific need after another. The right enterprise application integration software can help simplify and streamline an unwieldy architecture, enabling organizations to move more quickly, communicate more effectively, and operate more efficiently. For these reasons, when it comes to finding the right solution for this challenge, many organizations worldwide have chosen Progress Software.
Progress® OpenEdge®, a world-class platform for the simplified development, deployment and management of business programs, is also a leading enterprise application integration software solution. Offering technology and solutions to implement best practices and strategies, OpenEdge enables various business applications, databases and computing platforms to collaborate and communicate with each other by automatically routing and transforming critical information, delivering it to anyone, anywhere and at anytime. Built on a service oriented architecture, OpenEdge minimizes the complexity of IT infrastructure and increases flexibility, reliability and scalability, allowing the organization to adapt more quickly to new opportunities and changing business requirements. OpenEdge provides a framework for integrating operational processes and distributed systems using the best approach for the particular need, regardless of the platform – XML, Microsoft .NET, Java, SOA, Web services and messaging services are all supported.
The success of OpenEdge enterprise application integration software is built on the tight coupling of OpenEdge with Sonic ESB, the world's first enterprise service bus.
