Deliver Secure SQL Access for Enterprise APIs: For Enterprise Architects and ISVs
IT needs a fast way to SQL-enable their internal API layer for business intelligence.
Organizations are investing heavily in API layers to control authentication and data access from one place. However, enterprise data teams can’t access this data from their favorite BI tools such as IBM Cognos, OBIEE, TIBCO or MicroStrategy without complex custom coding.
As companies adopt multiple analytical and data management tools, SQL access to the enterprise API layer (or data access layer) is crucial. The ideal solution enables you to quickly build real-time access to your API layer from popular BI tools, while taking advantage of centralized API management capabilities.
Download the whitepaper to learn:
- How to how to quickly integrate your internal API layer into leading tools such as Microsoft Excel, SAP BusinessObjects, IBM Cognos, Oracle Business Intelligence and others
- What to look for in a connector SDK for delivering SQL clients (ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET and OLE-DB)
- Steps to deliver custom SQL connectivity in under five days

Why You Need a New Mobile Architecture
Great user experiences today and in the future will be embodied in mobile apps, responsive web applications and interactions with the Internet of Things. The need for these great user experiences has already transformed the way consumer applications are designed, built, delivered and maintained.
The same consumers are now demanding similar experiences from enterprise applications. New enterprise applications have to be what Forrester calls “Systems of Engagement,” where the focus is on elegantly adapting processes to people instead of focusing just on the processes themselves.
If your existing web architecture doesn't support unique mobile needs, now is the time for change. This whitepaper outlines how Kinvey provides a new mobile architecture that enables delivery of these new enterprise applications with rapid development times and consistency for IT.

Put a Big Dent in Warranty Costs
Most automobile manufacturing companies suspect warranty fraud, but aren’t sure of how to eliminate it. Existing detection methods are reactive, complex and expensive, with the manufacturer bearing the cost.
By taking a cognitive approach to anomaly detection and prediction, automakers can isolate fraudulent claims from the datasets. This enables auto companies to streamline warranty claim analysis and improve accuracy, resulting in better fraud detection and significant cost savings.

Technical Whitepaper: SSL/TLS Communication in Progress OpenEdge
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide communications security over a computer network. It enables servers on either end of a connection to identify and authenticate or prove their identity for secure communication effectively preventing the interception and tampering of sensitive data. This whitepaper shares important cryptographic protocol concepts around SSL/TLS, as well as details on how and when to integrate them into a Progress OpenEdge application environment.
