Forrester Wave™ Report picks Actional as leader in Standalone SOA & Web Services Management


What the Analysts Say:Progress Takes Refreshingly Pragmatic View of SOA

"Progress takes a refreshingly pragmatic view of the SOA market, recognizing that for most organizations (and certainly for most large and very large enterprises) the SOA infrastructure will itself be heterogeneous, either by design or by evolution and necessity. It provides its solutions in a form that can be readily implemented to enhance an existing SOA implementation, providing missing elements, or potentially replacing elements that are a less than optimal fit with the requirements of the organization. "

What the Analysts Say:Progress is a Major CEP Vendor

" …the increasingly real-time nature of business drives requirements for more real-time event processing, especially in financial services, order processing, customer service, and Web-based business. The increasing amount of business-relevant information available from real-time event streams presents new opportunities to serve business with rapid responses to changing conditions. "
