Business Application Integration

Business Application Integration Is Crucial to Enterprise Success

The world of business is moving at ever increasing speed, and IT is expected not only to keep up, but to deliver the tools for the entire enterprise to move more quickly. As market conditions change more rapidly and new opportunities emerge with ever greater frequency, the ability to deploy applications in a timely fashion in order to meet these challenges becomes a lynchpin of competitiveness. IT organizations must evolve and adapt swiftly in order to allow the enterprise to move nimbly. Technology integration is critical – programs and systems must fluidly work together to extend vital business processes throughout the organization. Yet too many enterprises are stuck with unwieldy hybrid infrastructures that stymie business application integration. These architectures have been developed more by accident than design, as software and services were added incrementally to solve problems specific to the enterprise. To truly compete on a global level, enterprises must adopt a powerful solution for business application integration. Progress OpenEdge is the answer.

Progress® OpenEdge® Delivers Efficient Business Application Integration

Progress OpenEdge is a comprehensive platform for the development, deployment and integration of business-critical applications. Based on a service-oriented architecture (SOA), OpenEdge offers extraordinary productivity, streamlining the process and reducing the cost of development and deployment of new solutions. OpenEdge also delivers unparalleled flexibility, allowing enterprises to leverage existing solutions and combine them with new ones in order to satisfy the demands of the marketplace. OpenEdge simplifies business application integration by offering a standards-based distributed infrastructure that is tightly coupled with the industry's most reliable Java-based integration solutions. Employing the world's first enterprise service bus, these solutions enable enterprises to deploy an SOA infrastructure, converting “accidental architecture” into a highly accessible network of reusable services. By choosing the reliability, flexibility and scalability of OpenEdge, enterprises can improve business application integration while reducing costs and enhancing agility.
