Speed

Through the quick replication process setup, OpenEdge Pro2 allows companies to be agile in delivering the critical business data needed to support their analytics and BI initiatives. By leveraging Progress OpenEdge Change Data Capture (CDC), OpenEdge customers and partners can deliver low-latency, near-real-time replication of that data to support not just traditional descriptive analytics, but also predictive analytics, AI-driven decisions, and time-sensitive IoT events.

“Progress OpenEdge Pro2 data replication provides us with increased flexibility in allowing us to use the BI and analytic tools of choice,” said Tim Bloudek, Director of Information Systems, BRAAS. “We’re not locked into any one solution. This ensures that we are more efficient and effective in obtaining pertinent information giving us the ability to quickly turn that information into actions.”

“Organizations are under immense pressure to drive innovation within their organization by implementing the latest technology advancements, while maintaining and modernizing a slew of legacy systems,” said John Ainsworth, SVP, Core Products, Progress. “Progress has continued to ease developer pain points with the release of technologies to speed and automate the modernization process – Progress OpenEdge Pro2 6.0 is no exception. It provides added layers of agility and speed, removes complexity and delivers the reporting and analytics capabilities businesses require as part of the critical data replication process.”
