Application Integration Software

Application Integration Software Improves Enterprise Efficiency

In order to move quickly, act decisively and gain market share in today's highly competitive economy, enterprises must rely on superior technology. That includes ensuring the integration of applications within the organization, as well as with partners and suppliers, to ensure a smooth and responsive experience for customers. Many enterprises, however, suffer from an information architecture that is tangled, disorganized and incredibly inefficient. Developed over years, these “accidental” architectures include purpose built systems and proprietary information islands where valuable resources are hidden and isolated from all but a few users. The right application integration software is capable of untangling this mess and delivering information and services to users throughout the enterprise. By providing a standards-based and service-oriented approach to configuring technology, the right solution can enable the enterprise a greater chance to compete. For enterprises around the world, Progress Software offers the application integration software of choice as well as leading integration infrastructure for service-oriented architecture (SOA).

Progress OpenEdge Delivers Innovative Application Integration Software

Progress® OpenEdge® is the one of the world's most effective platforms for developing and deploying enterprise-class software solutions. Built on a service oriented architecture (SOA ) and deploying, Progress® Sonic ESB®, the world's first enterprise service bus, OpenEdge simplifies the process of combining applications and Web services for faster integration into business processes that may extend throughout the distributed enterprise. Using best practices and efficient strategies, OpenEdge allows business systems, computing platforms and databases to better interact and collaborate by transforming critical data and delivering it to any user in the enterprise. By allowing administrators to work with such industry-standards as Java, XML, Microsoft .NET, Web services and messaging services, OpenEdge also provides a platform that allows enterprises to integrate operations and distributed systems using the best solution for any challenge. With OpenEdge application integration software, organizations can reduce the complexity of their infrastructure, streamline the development of new technology, and scale to meet the changing demands of the global marketplace.
