Operational Responsiveness
Operational Responsiveness Drives out Inefficiencies and Effects Change
Operational responsiveness is the ability of business processes and systems to respond to changing conditions and customer interactions as they occur, enabling business leaders to capitalize on opportunities, drive greater efficiencies, and reduce risk. Operational responsiveness is more than agility and business process engineering optimization. Operational responsiveness is about plugging decision makers into business activities and giving them the ability to respond to the unexpected, thereby effecting change directly. Simply put, operational responsiveness means making sure the right things happen in the right way at the right time—every time—even in the face of the unexpected.
If you want to improve your operational responsiveness, Progress Software has solutions that can help.

Progress Software provides application infrastructure software for the development, deployment, integration, and management of business applications. Progress Software solutions help drive operational responsiveness by enabling decision makers to see what is happening, understand what it means, identify what should be changed, and then execute the change.
Progress offers solutions for business operational planning in a number of areas that are critical to operational responsiveness:
- Secure, reliable communications. The operationally responsive business must ensure that business information can be delivered wherever it is needed to enable business systems to be effective.

Sonic ESB®, Progress Software’s enterprise service bus, enables more flexible information routing by simplifying the integration and reuse of business processes with easier deployment of an operational SOA.

Operational responsiveness also depends upon simplifying the processing of business information, allowing decision makers to work directly with current business events for improved operational analysis. Progress® Apama® delivers the broadest, deepest and most flexible complex-event processing platform for monitoring, analyzing, and acting on streaming events in real-time.
- Translation of data formats. The operationally responsive business must be able to translate data formats quickly as information moves between systems and organizations.
