Progress SOA Portfolio

Your World. Your SOA

The vision is powerful. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) promises to make your business more agile, make business services broadly available and re-usable, and eliminate boundaries between business functions and value chains.

The vision is achievable, but real-world SOA can be challenging. Your systems span departments and geographies. You must integrate and provide visibility and business insight across many different platforms, data sources and applications. Your systems need to be fast, always available and secure.

The Progress® SOA Portfolio is comprised of interoperable, best-in-class service infrastructure products used to build, deploy and manage a service-oriented architecture. From first project to global deployment, the portfolio provides robust, yet agile SOA infrastructure designed for challenging, real-world environments.

The Progress Difference
Unlike platform stack offerings that can lock you in to a single–vendor approach, each category–leading product of Progress SOA Portfolio can be deployed independently, and delivers its full value even when used with products from other vendors. Over 1000 customers rely on Progress as their independent supplier of reliable, interoperable SOA infrastructure software.

The Progress SOA Portfolio provides a comprehensive range of capabilities for the entire SOA lifecycle. Together, they deliver the agility, re-use and integration you expect from SOA with the manageability and robustness you require. Free from cross-product dependencies, each category-leading product of Progress SOA Portfolio can be deployed independently, and delivers its full benefit in a real-world, multi-vendor environment.
