Power to PerformWhile the business service management vendors take a top-down view of IT service optimisation, there is a group of companies coming at the problem in a transaction-centric fashion. Not all companies will be ready to abandon their over-arching management frameworks, so the ability for these transaction-centric technologies to bubble information up into those is paramount. But companies such as Precise and Progress believe there will always be a need for companies to pinpoint performance issues fast, reduce time to resolution and prevent others from happening in the first place. |

Magic Quadrant for Integrated SOA Governance Technology SetsProgress Actional has been positioned in the Leaders' Quadrant of Gartner’s latest Magic Quadrant report for Integrated SOA Governance Technology Sets, 2009 Noting that enterprises are requiring their technology partners to offer the full SOA governance lifecycle including SOA validation and monitoring, Gartner wrote, "Progress has done a good job of consolidating, amplifying, and executing on its marketing message about SOA governance technologies and lifecycle management. With its recent acquisition of Mindreef, Progress has extended its monitoring and policy enforcement capabilities to include validation and diagnostics. The acquisition also gives Progress a large base of customers to which it can cross sell its other SOA governance technologies. Progress has the potential to overtake other leaders in this space by exploiting the importance of monitoring in SOA governance." |

The 2008 Service-Oriented Architecture Software Market LandscapeThis Market Services Report from AMR Research makes the point that "While most of the attention in the SOA market has been on the suites offered by major vendors, none of these are truly complete, and customers have more alternatives than what lies on the surface." The authors note that tools for SOA enabling such existing IT assets as legacy applications, messaging systems, and databases are now available and will play a crucial role for companies that can't afford to rewrite their systems from scratch. Regarding the Progress Software SOA Portfolio, they report, "Progress remains committed to being the independent choice for infrastructure. The company has assembled a portfolio of SOA products to address the most common integration challenges customers and software vendors face." Progress meets its customers' needs with independence, interoperability, and best-of-breed functionality. "Whatever the success of the big SOA suite vendors, there will always be a market for best-of-breed products like Progress." |

|
SOA Adoption: Technology Diversity AcceleratorsAlthough it is no surprise to say that technology diversity drives adoption of service-oriented architecture (SOA), Forrester's survey data shows patterns in the use of development platforms, development languages, and application platform vendors that affect how rapidly certain IT segments adopt SOA. For example, enterprises with four or more application platform vendors have significantly higher SOA adoption than enterprises that use three or fewer. Small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) that use three development platforms have significantly higher SOA penetration than those using only one. By finding the patterns that match their organization's technology environment, architects can bolster their case for SOA with industry adoption numbers that correspond closely with their peer organizations' adoption rates. |

Progress Acquires IONA to Strengthen Presence in AIM MarketThis Gartner News Analysis states that the acquisition of Iona Technologies will be consistent with Progress’ strategy of building a large portfolio of SOA-enabling technology through internal development and technology acquisitions such as Actional and Apama. Further, “Progress has the potential to almost double its market share in the application infrastructure and middleware (AIM) market.” The analysis also notes that the deal will give Progress well-known and widely adopted open source products, and will allow Progress to offer both bus-centric and smart end-point-centric ESB architectures. |
