Progress Software has introduced OpenEdge BPM, a new strategic initiative that delivers the company’s independent software vendor (ISV) partners and customers with new capabilities for building applications that provide continuous business process improvements.
The company said that its new initiative achieves this by integrating business process modeling, monitoring and management capabilities of its Savvion BPM product with the business application platform, OpenEdge.
Progress Software claimed that its OpenEdge BPM provides the first platform to enable the complete development of business process applications for both on-premise and cloud deployment environments.
Progress Software chief product officer Rob Levy said that their ISV partners and customers are still finding that other BPM suites simply are not effective because they don’t provide an integrated application development platform.
"Beyond the productivity and performance benefits that come with integrating these two types of platforms together, the Progress OpenEdge BPM initiative will also provide an immediate opportunity to reduce total cost of ownership by significantly simplifying the management and operation of business process applications," Levy said.
