Enterprise Information Integration

Competitive Enterprises Focus on Information Integration

The integration of information assets within today's enterprise is one of the key requirements for competing in the global marketplace. Typically, organizations have developed disparate applications and systems over time, each have containing large volumes of data. Each new piece of this technology puzzle may not necessarily connect well or interact with the legacy systems that have been deployed in the past, creating a hybrid infrastructure vulnerable to data logjams and too often requiring inefficient, manual workarounds and remediation. The goal of enterprise information integration is to make data, applications and systems available to all employees across a distributed network, thereby leveraging the organization's investments in technology, and allowing the company to better use information to compete. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is today's preferred approach to the integration of enterprise information. SOA aims to reconfigure nearly any application or system as a service so that it can be accessed from any point on the network. For any organization building a service-oriented architecture to improve enterprise information integration, Progress Software offers the leading products that enable this technology.

Progress Software Provides Enterprise Information Integration Solutions

Progress Software is the pioneering inventor of the enterprise service bus (ESB), an SOA infrastructure that simplifies the integration of information and applications within the enterprise. By allowing organizations to reuse business components in a flexible, standards-based SOA, Progress® Sonic ESB® allows organizations to easily and reliably configure the connection, mediation and interactions of all services within the architecture. With Sonic ESB, it's simple to deploy projects, scale them, and enable them to evolve without needing to disrupt the system for reprogramming.

Enterprise Information Integration Made Simpler with Sonic ESB

Sonic ESB improves enterprise information integration by simplifying the three critical tasks involved in managing a service-oriented architecture. First, ESB makes it easier to connect new applications with web services and older technology. Second, ESB allows organizations to more easily mediate those connections; incompatible protocols, interaction patterns and data formats can be reconciled, and the hard-coded service dependencies between applications can be eliminated, making it simpler to combine and extend existing resources to meet new challenges. And third, control of a services oriented architecture is easier with Sonic ESB – services can be quickly deployed across a distributed environment and changes can be configured remotely.

In addition to enterprise integration, Progress Software products and solutions also address QoS management, event processing, enterprise messaging and support for JMS.
