Apple iPad support delivers anytime, anywhere visibility across
environments, including mainframe, to business and operations executives
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
Software Corporation (NASDAQ: PRGS), a leading software
provider that enables enterprises to be operationally
responsive, today announced it has further enhanced its Progress®
Responsive Process Management™ (RPM) suite. The new Progress RPM™
suite comprises Progress
Control Tower™, an easy-to-use, browser-based, interactive interface
that can now be accessed on Apple iPad anywhere with Internet
connectivity. With the enhanced functionality, business users have the
ability to not only monitor, manage, analyze, but also to act on
information stored across a variety of data sources, including IBM
mainframe CICS, Tibco, Oracle, FUSEsource and SAP environments, at any
time and in any place.
Maureen Fleming, Program vice president, Business Process and
Middleware, IDC Corporation, said: "Enterprise expectations of process
improvement have jumped from thinking about a single process or single
application to a need to orchestrate in real-time across internal
environments and out to partner and customer systems. That means process
improvement is increasingly about orchestration, real-time visibility
and analysis across disparate BPM suites and packaged applications. And
mobility is a key element of this strategy. Companies cannot afford
delays because employees are out of touch with the decisions they need
to make."
The Progress RPM suite includes significant Apple iPad support by
providing real "mobile control tower" functionality that empowers
business users to see and manage events and processes across their
business at any time.
Dr. John Bates, chief technology officer, Progress Software said,
"Businesses are contending with complex, disparate operating
environments, which means it is crucial that they have instant access to
every critical transaction at any place or time. The Progress Responsive
Process Management suite provides the necessary visibility across all
lines of business and transactions, empowering the business user to
respond to what is going to potentially happen, capitalizing on fleeting
revenue opportunities and responding to impending risks before they can
affect the customer or the bottom line."
In addition to new business intelligence support with Progress Analyst
Studio on the Apple iPad, the latest release of the Progress RPM suite
expands its reach by using Progress Actional® interceptors to gain
access into IBM CICS/MQ Mainframes, Tibco Activematrix BusinessWorks,
SAP ABAP, and Lombardi TeamWorks facilitating real-time cross platform
visibility without additional mainframe costs. With this new
functionality, business users can now gain deeper insight into
transactional behaviour across multiple technologies and platforms to
ensure business transaction integrity and performance. For example, a
banking institution can now track a customer's intra-bank payments and
credit card transactions regardless of whether payment is made via a
mobile application, a web-browser or an ATM.
The Progress RPM R2.0 suite comprises the Progress Actional Business
Transaction Management (BTM), the Progress
Apama® Complex Event Processing (CEP) and the Progress
Savvion® Business Process Management (BPM) platforms, all of which
are managed using the revolutionary Progress
Control Tower interface.
Progress also offers industry-specific solution accelerators that extend
the core Progress RPM suite for the capital markets, communications and
supply chain industries. Solution accelerators facilitate the deployment
of critical industry-specific capabilities ensuring a faster return on
investment and value creation.
