ISV and OEM

The Progress® Sonic® product family has revolutionized the way companies operate. Rapid ROI and near-term results, lower total cost of ownership, and minimal risk are three key reasons why partners chose our messaging software and enterprise service bus (ESB) for many of their critical integration projects.

Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) Delivers High Availability, Reliability and Scalability

For most packaged applications and hardware systems, failure is not an option. Lost messages, service delays, and incomplete transactions lead to high support costs, SLA fees and possible legal action by end users. Today, ISVs and OEMs are meeting this challenge by embedding enterprise messaging solutions that include robust, resilient standards-based technology that delivers high availability, reliability and scalability to enterprise applications. Progress® SonicMQ® is the industry's most robust and resilient standards-based enterprise messaging system, delivering unmatched service availability, high performance, exceptional management capabilities and unsurpassed scalability for vast and sophisticated enterprise deployments. Our exclusive Continuous Availability Architecture™ (CAA) ensures system uptime while our Dynamic Routing Architecture® and advanced clustering technologies ensure unlimited scalability to vast numbers of messages, users and brokers.

ISVs and OEMs are also deploying a messaging-based style SOA using Progress® Sonic ESB. Using an ESB, their clients can simplify and guarantee reliable remote data distribution and enhance agility in a changing IT environment. Sonic ESB continuously feeds business transactions as they become available, guarantees delivery of information, and can quickly batch events, or processes, for applications that must continue to operate in batch mode.

Fulfill your Clients Demand for 24x7 Operations and Real-time Response

ISVs and software developers are being asked to commit to enhanced level service agreements that guarantee up time – 99+% of the time. They are being challenged with making sure that even systems working outside the firewall are always available and that data passing between systems is delivered quickly and reliably. And while other solutions may promise these results, SonicMQ - and our messaging-based enterprise service bus for service-oriented architectures (SOA), Sonic ESB - provide standards-based software-only solutions that use our exclusive Continuous Availability Architecture™ (CAA) to provide high availability and transactional fault tolerance without specialized third-party hardware or software.

When deciding what technology to embed or integrate into the customer solutions, ISVs and OEMs should consider six critical factors:

1. Faster Time to Market: Our messaging middleware is easy to embed, contains a small footprint, and is built on industry standards, including JMS and Eclipse.
   
   
2. Flexible and Cost-Effective End-User Deployment: Sonic products are easy to install, configure and administer, and deliver an overall lower total cost of ownership.
   
   
3. Protect Your Investment: For OEMs and ISVs, SonicMQ supports extensibility will meet your requirements as well as support the move to SOA.
   
   
4. Mission Critical Reliability: The surveys are in and enterprise applications must have high availability, linear scalability, and robust security – Sonic products offer patent-pending technologies to meet your needs.
   
   
5. Complete Support: ISVs and OEMs need to make sure that their technology partners can deliver worldwide 24x7 support and that they have the professional services that augment support and software development staff.
   
   
6. Aligns with Your Business Model: Make sure that your technology partner can provide the pricing and packaging options that support low volume to high volume licensing models.
