Tightly integrated SOA solution includes data interoperability to
reduce development efforts, improve performance and enhance
architectural flexibility
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
Software Corporation (NASDAQ: PRGS), a leading enterprise software
provider that enables companies to be operationally
responsive, today announced the availability of a pre-integrated
enterprise integration solution that reduces the time it takes to deploy
IT infrastructure and to accelerate the time it takes to derive value
from the implementation. The pre-integrated enterprise integration
solution comprises the Progress®
Sonic® Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and the Progress®
DataXtend™ Semantic Integrator (SI) and delivers enhanced IT
architectural flexibility, which enables a dramatically faster response
to business change.
The pace of business continues to accelerate and IT departments are
struggling to respond fast enough to the demands of the business.
Traditional integration solutions and first generation SOA have not only
failed to deliver on their promise, but have exposed more limitations of
how data and policy changes are handled. Enterprises can use the
pre-integrated Sonic ESB and DataXtend SI enterprise solution alone or
combine it with the Progress
Actional® SOA Management platform to eradicate these hurdles. This
approach ensures continuous delivery of business services that will not
impact their existing applications and, eliminates the limitations of
SOA by using data semantics, end-to-end visibility and IT governance.
As a pre-integrated offering, the DataXtend SI and Sonic ESB now provide
a tightly integrated development and deployment environment that ensures
improved IT developer productivity and superior enterprise service
delivery. In addition, DataXtend SI users have access to the
comprehensive Sonic ESB
platform for improved performance and data service scalability.
Additionally, the new Sonic ESB includes improved visibility and impact
analysis capabilities. By facilitating the visualization of the
interdependencies of service interactions or data exchanges, developers
can more easily make changes to critical integration applications
without negatively impacting their IT production systems.
Colleen Smith, vice president of Platforms and Integration, Progress
Software said: "Delivering pre-integrated enterprise integration
solutions empowers CIOs and enterprise architects to respond to change
within their IT infrastructure quickly and cost-effectively so that they
can derive value and a return on their investment quickly, without
disrupting current systems or losing data quality. Businesses require
agility in their IT infrastructure and by offering the Progress Sonic
ESB pre-integrated with the Progress DataXtend Semantic Integrator,
users can now support SOA with real-time data allowing them to respond
faster to new business requirements."
Bloor Research founder and analyst, Robin Bloor, added: "The initial
approach to SOA delivered a margin of agility, particularly when it came
to application integration, however, as SOA adoption increased
limitations soon arose that impeded an organizations ability to respond
rapidly to the increased pace of business change. For IT to be
successful in supporting business, it has to evolve its approach to SOA
to be more responsive, particularly in how it handles change with regard
to data semantics and policy."
Business of all sizes and across industries are reaping the benefits of
responsive business integration to improve upon the integration
infrastructure that connects people, process, data and applications that
underpin critical business services.
