Bedford, MA – February 10, 2009 – Progress Software Corporation (NASDAQ: PRGS), a leading provider of application infrastructure software to develop, deploy, integrate and manage business applications, has announced that Progress Software’s Hub Vandervoort, CTO of SOA Infrastructure products, will present “Architectures To Enable High-Velocity Business” during Forrester’s Enterprise Architecture Forum 2009 on Tuesday, February 10th, 2009.

    • When:  Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
    • Where:  Doral Golf Resort & Spa, Miami, FL


    • To Register Visit: http://www.forrester.com/Events/Register/0,5233,2369,00.html
    • What:  Vandervoort has developed a unique new insight into the best architectures to enable high-velocity business: the business pipeline. During his presentation, attendees will:


      • Learn how the pipeline metaphor can be used to gain deeper insight into the way IT environments serve the business.
      • Understand the details of this architecture pattern, including "side pipes" for information provisioning and business visibility.
      • See how this architecture enables organizations to accomplish higher velocity in their business, from several real-world case studies.
    • Why:  Business is moving with higher and higher velocity, yet IT is often not able to keep up with the demands of the business for more timely business visibility and greater business agility. Whether the challenge is adapting business strategy to rapidly changing economic realities, or leveraging customer data insights to extract greater opportunity, the architectures that IT employs today are often not up to the job.
