Application Integration
Application Integration is High Priority for Major Enterprises
Enterprise application integration is a significant requirement for enterprises that need to share information and automate business processes that involve multiple business functions or departments. More than ever, enterprises must manage and integrate information in order remain viable when competing against larger or more focused rivals. The underlying challenge of the integration of applications is that the technologies they use have highly diverse interfaces and protocols. Many enterprises have found that after years of investing in evolving technology, they are left with an unmanageable hybrid of architectures that limit progress when they should enable it. For this reason, service-oriented architecture has emerged as an increasingly popular approach to enterprise integration. This technology refashions applications and systems both new and old into modular services based on shared standards, allowing all information assets to be used, reused and combined to provide greater value and functionality throughout the enterprise. When leading enterprises worldwide seek the software solutions to support service-oriented architecture, they turn to Progress Software, the provider of Progress® Sonic ESB®.
