Application Middleware

Superior Application Middleware Delivers Enterprise Agility

To succeed in today's highly competitive global marketplace, flexibility and business agility is key. Business opportunities and threats arise with ever-increasing speed, and organizations must adjust more quickly than ever in order to maintain competitiveness. The faster an enterprise can respond to the changing landscape, the better positioned it is for success. One critical aspect of enterprise agility is the information and application infrastructure that allows the business to connect people, processes and information. Consequently, the choice of application middleware is a critical one. Superior application middleware enables the organization to quickly and easily extend technology and processes to all aspects of the distributed enterprise so every user has access to vital business processes and critical business data. With the right application middleware, organizations can more easily integrate existing systems and applications with new ones, and manage the evolution of the technological infrastructure with greater cohesion and ease. For competitive enterprises everywhere seeking leading application middleware, Progress Software is the first choice.

As a worldwide leader in application middleware and SOA infrastructure software, Progress Software provides one of the most reliable and flexible integrated business application platforms available. The Progress® OpenEdge® product line allows organizations to more easily develop and deploy, integrate and manage business applications that are critical to enterprise business agility. With a unified environment comprising standards-based development tools, application servers, an embedded database, management tools and application integration solutions, OpenEdge simplifies the job of creating the world’s best business applications. For example, the OpenEdge development environment is the most efficient way to express business practices in software, allowing developers to more quickly create world-class solutions.

Progress Application Middleware for the Entire Application Lifecycle

Built to support the use of a service-oriented architecture (SOA), OpenEdge can also take advantage of innovative SOA middleware products. These standards-based application middleware solutions deliver tools for more easily creating and managing business applications based on services, from start to finish. Other Progress application middleware solutions include:

  • Progress® Sonic ESB® Product Family. With Sonic ESB products such as the Eclipse-based Sonic Workbench™ and Sonic Deployment Manager, companies can model, configure, test, and deploy new business and web services and entire application processes from a central console with intuitive, graphical tools. As a result, this innovative application middleware solution can streamline and expedite the creation and deployment of new applications, including rollout to remote sites.

  • Progress® Actional ®SOA Management Solutions. Actional's end-to-end monitoring of SOA applications is critical for development, quality assurance, and staging—to ensure their reliable operation. Actional capabilities include automatic and manual controls to route application execution across the underlying IT infrastructure according to pre-defined policies, for example, to prioritize service for the best customers.

  • Progress® DataXtend™ Semantic Integrator (SI). DataXtend SI enables companies to semantically integrate data from diverse systems using a common information model to promote speed, agility, reuse, and data integrity in data integration projects. This application middleware solution includes design tools and exchange models that reduce or eliminate custom code and cut-and-paste duplication, and its central design with local deployment promotes reuse of common models and services across systems.

By supporting and streamlining SOA integration and management and data integration, Progress application middleware allows businesses to create or adapt their applications to align with business needs, and to be highly responsive to changes in the market.

In addition to application middleware, Progress also offers solutions for business integration, custom system development, database storage, as well as soa infrastructure solutions such as enterprise service bus, soa governance, semantic data integration and complex event processing.
