SOA

Competitive Enterprises Rely on SOA

Service oriented architecture, or SOA, is gaining momentum as a solution to the problem of technology integration. With each new generation of information technology, enterprises must figure out how to integrate legacy systems and applications with newer technology and requirements. After having invested heavily in IT and building a store of knowledge in old and existing systems, enterprises are understandably reluctant to give up on older solutions. Furthermore, trying to fuse new technology with old can create an infrastructure that is neither responsive nor efficient enough to ensure that the enterprise can move at the speed necessary to remain competitive. SOA solves this dilemma by converting applications and systems into self-contained services that can be easily combined and reused to form new composite services. Over 1,000 leading enterprises are relying on services infrastructure solutions from Progress Software to build the SOA infrastructure that works effectively and doesn't drain IT budgets.

Progress Software is a Leading Provider of SOA Solutions

Progress provides the solutions that competitive enterprises require in an SOA deployment. With Progress® Sonic ESB®, enterprises can respond more quickly to the changing demands of the marketplace while minimizing their cost and investment in information technology. Sonic solutions make it easy to refashion existing business applications and legacy systems as modular services that can be reused and combined with other services to provide greater value to the business. With Sonic, enterprises can more easily align IT capabilities with the needs of the enterprise by making information and services once locked in purpose-built applications broadly available across the organization. And by reusing existing investments in an SOA framework, enterprises can reduce the cost of IT, including software development, integration costs and vendor lock-in.

Sonic Enterprise Service Bus Simplifies SOA

The foundation of Progress' SOA offerings is Sonic ESB, an enterprise service bus that makes it simpler to integrate business components in service oriented architectures. Highly flexible and inexpensive to customize, Sonic ESB allows enterprises to more easily connect, mediate and control the services and applications within their SOA environment. The flexibility of Sonic ESB allows enterprises to modify processes and relationships through reconfiguration instead of programming. Enterprises can more easily distribute services across and between organizations. Sonic ESB also reduces administrative burden because the infrastructure is able to monitor and manage itself, as well as the services it supports.

Progress Software, also provide services infrastructure solutions for messaging software, integration software, business process reengineering, application integration, data integration, and more.
