Enterprise Integration
Integration of Information is Essential to the Enterprise
Information integration within the enterprise has never been more critical. In a highly competitive global marketplace, the organizations that thrive are those who best command the information assets at their disposal. Yet many organizations are still restricted by systems and architecture in which the free exchange of data is not possible. Legacy systems built with proprietary technology cannot communicate with newer applications. Hard-wired dependencies between applications make it hard to change them in order to provide greater value to more employees. And data stored within older applications can't be easily integrated with other data assets to give executives a complete picture of the organization. With these kinds of limitations, it's even less possible for organizations to share information with partners, vendors, and customers - further diminishing performance and the ability to compete.
Enterprise integration aims to meet this challenge by making it easier to connect all resources within the network. Through service-oriented architecture (SOA), organizations can reconfigure legacy systems and applications to provide broad access for every user. And for the solutions to better enable enterprise integration, more companies turn to Progress Software.
