This is why high availability was a core focus of the recent Progress® OpenEdge® 11.7 release. Watch this webinar to learn how new features within OpenEdge Replication can help businesses minimize unplanned disruptions, easily perform ongoing maintenance and maximize uptime for users.

Ready. Set. Capture

Ensure data consistency and accuracy across multiple data sources with OpenEdge CDC.

Data powers a wide array of operations for many modern businesses, which makes data management that much more important. In that regard, Change Data Capture (CDC) is an invaluable tool that enables businesses to quickly identify and track data changes across various data sources, data lakes and warehouses.

As a core component of the recent Progress® OpenEdge® 11.7 release, OpenEdge CDC plays a vital role in helping you deliver better business applications. Join Brian Bowman, Senior Principle Product Manager, for this introductory overview and live demo of OpenEdge CDC.

Future Proofing Asset Failures With Cognitive Predictive Maintenance

The array of connected automotive industrial assets generate mass volumes of operational data. This data can be effectively tapped to map out potential risks using cognitive predictive maintenance which can convey this insight to automotive industrial asset experts. By applying machine learning to operational data generated by critical factory & automotive assets, OEMs can gain greater insights into these risk creating factors.

Uncovering Machine Secrets In Factory Floor Using Data

Manufacturers are constantly battling 24*7*365 days to ensure zero downtime. But the reality of the unpredictable nature of machines often puts manufacturers in a tight spot. Having a laser sharp, focused analytics on factory utilization, manufacturers can have a real-time status check on machines and respond to failures much ahead of time.

Industrial IoT & Failure Prediction On Event Signals | Part 1

We are excited to announce our 3 part webinar series on “Industrial IoT and failure prediction on event signals”. In this series, we will highlight how companies can seize the opportunity to monetize the trillion dollar opportunity in IIoT by “connecting the unconnected” for cognitive insights. These cognitive insights from real time sensor/machine data can empower companies to achieve ground-breaking results in plant efficiency, improved productivity and “digital readiness for smart factory”. 

Rebooting Operational Excellence in Automotive Paint Shops Using Analytics

Aging  infrastructure and volatility in prices of raw materials, often place automakers in the tight spot to continuously look for radical ways to reduce operational costs. With powerful nexus of forces such as IoT, IIoT and machine learning, automakers stand at the brink to experience not just incremental but transformational benefits.

Improving Outcomes for Substance Abuse Treatment

Substance abuse is one of the fastest growing health problems we face today. In this webinar, Sean Gunderson (co-founder at iTether), Joe Corkery (Healthcare Product Management at Google Cloud Platform) and Jikku Venkat (VP of Product for Kinvey at Progress) discuss how mobile can transform addiction treatment and drive better outcomes. 

Deliver Secure SQL Access for Enterprise APIs

Companies typically build numerous internal applications and complex APIs for enterprise data access. These APIs are often engineered for application developers and based on protocols such as REST or SOAP with payloads in XML or JSON.

However, enterprise data teams need to access this data for analytics, which requires standard query capabilities and the ability to surface metadata. As enterprises adopt new analytical and data management tools, a SQL access layer for this data becomes imperative. Many industries such as financial services, healthcare and technology rely on Progress® DataDirect® OpenAccess™ SDK to build a custom ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET or OLE DB layer on top of their internal APIs and hosted multi-tenant databases.

Watch this on-demand webinar to learn about:

• Use cases for providing SQL access to your enterprise data
• How organizations provide SQL Access to their APIs
• Pitfalls and best practices to building SQL access

Plus—don’t miss our live demo using OpenAccess SDK to provide SQL access for a REST API.
