Enterprise Application Integration
Enterprise Application Integration Drives Competitiveness
Application integration has become a top priority for the competitive enterprise. With the objective of linking data in diverse information systems, enterprise application integration allows organizations to access intelligence more quickly, share it broadly with employees at every level, and leverage existing investments in IT. In the past, sharing information between systems has been too difficult: many legacy systems were developed using proprietary technology, thereby creating islands of information throughout the organization. Often, when systems are developed incrementally over time, the result is a haphazard architecture that resists evolution toward standardization. The goal of enterprise application integration is to create a framework for integrating incompatible and distributed systems, making it faster and easier to extend business processes throughout the organization. Today, many leading companies throughout the world turn to Progress Software for the tools and services infrastructure to accomplish this task.

Progress Software's Leading Solutions for Enterprise Application Integration
Progress Software is the pioneering inventor of the enterprise service bus (ESB), a technology that simplifies application integration. Progress® Sonic ESB® supports a service-oriented architecture (SOA) in which old systems and programs are reconfigured as modular, reusable services. Sonic ESB is an SOA infrastructure that enables enterprise application integration by providing an environment that easily connects new programs, web services and hundreds of legacy technologies. From J2EE and .NET applications to databases and legacy message brokers, Sonic ESB allows resources to be made broadly available for communication with any other resource on the network. With Sonic ESB, organizations can easily add services or reconfigure them on the fly - changing the logic flow between services as business processes evolve. More than 1,000 leading enterprises worldwide currently rely on Sonic ESB to deliver greater functionality, connectivity and application integration.
Sonic ESB Makes Enterprise Application Integration Simpler
In making enterprise application integration easier to accomplish, Sonic ESB enables organizations to:
- Minimize the time and resources involved in creating new processes by repurposing existing programs and information.
- Improve agility and speed of operations by decreasing the hidden dependencies between programs, middleware and services in a distributed system.
- Decrease total cost of ownership by incorporating standard protocols and interfaces.
- Ensure reliable delivery of messages across all services.
- Deliver a hosting infrastructure that can be both centrally managed and highly distributed.
- Set up services in an incremental manner in order to speed up the delivery of high-priority functionality to customers while minimizing risk on larger and more complicated projects.
Progress Software also provides solutions for business process improvement, enterprise messaging, JMS, messaging middleware, data integration software and SOA.
