Progress Software (News - Alert) has further enhanced its Progress Responsive Process Management (RPM) suite.

The enhanced suite features Progress Control Tower, an easy-to-use, browser-based, interactive interface that can now be accessed on Apple (News - Alert) iPad anywhere with Internet connectivity.

This announcement will enable business users to monitor, manage, analyze, and act on information stored across a range of data sources, including IBM (News - Alert) mainframe CICS, Tibco, Oracle, FUSEsource and SAP environments.

Businesses will have the freedom to do all this at any time and in any place, claims

Progress Software, an independent enterprise software company that enables businesses to be operationally responsive to changing conditions and customer interactions.

The company has also added in the suite significant Apple iPad support by providing real "mobile control tower" functionality. This particular feature enables business users to see and manage events and processes across their business whenever they want to.

“Enterprise expectations of process improvement have jumped from thinking about a single process or single application to a need to orchestrate in real-time across internal environments and out to partner and customer systems,” said Maureen Fleming, Program vice president, Business Process and Middleware, IDC (News - Alert) Corporation. “That means process improvement is increasingly about orchestration, real-time visibility and analysis across disparate BPM suites and packaged applications. And mobility is a key element of this strategy. Companies cannot afford delays because employees are out of touch with the decisions they need to make.”

"Businesses are contending with complex, disparate operating environments, which means it is crucial that they have instant access to every critical transaction at any place or time,” said Dr. John Bates, chief technology officer, Progress Software. “ The Progress Responsive Process Management suite provides the necessary visibility across all lines of business and transactions, empowering the business user to respond to what is going to potentially happen, capitalizing on fleeting revenue opportunities and responding to impending risks before they can affect the customer or the bottom line."
