BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
(NASDAQ: PRGS) today announced that Construction Industry Solutions
(COINS), the leader in global construction software, is improving its
customers' profitability by rapidly and easily connecting raw
information with third party BI applications using the data integration
capabilities of the Progress® platform.
COINS, the market leader in enterprise software solutions for the
construction industry, utilized the platform's high-performance Progress
DataDirect® software to automatically and transparently
enable data to be queried, without the need for significant SQL coding.
Following industry best practices, COINS stores raw data in a form that
is optimized for transaction processing. Progress played a crucial role
in connecting that varied construction data with COINS and third party
analytics tools to answer the customers' complex questions.
The semantic layer enabled by the Progress platform makes data available
to business intelligence (BI) tools or any other application that a
company may want to use. With this approach, COINS is able to be a
consistently appealing partner for construction industry clients by:
-
Enabling in-depth, flexible BI at a lower cost
-
Allowing the fast, reliable standards-based integration of any data
set with whichever BI or reporting tool is preferred
Quotes:
Tim Armitage, technical director at COINS, said, "Success in the
construction business is dependent on mastering information. Ensuring
complicated and varied construction projects are profitable as well as
safe requires a company to have an absolutely crystal clear view of its
data. With the Progress DataDirect product, we enable our clients to use
their choice of business intelligence tool to view, explore and analyze
their financial and commercial data - allowing them to spot trends and
patterns and maximize profitability."
Mark Armstrong, vice president and managing director, EMEA at Progress,
said, "Measure twice, cut once. It's an old adage but it's as true as
ever. In the highly competitive construction industry, companies cannot
afford to make a wrong decision. Measuring the right data at key points
in the building process is the difference between success and failure."
