Manage Interconnected Applications for Business Transaction Assurance from Pre-production to Runtime

Manage interconnected applications from development through application support to achieve business transaction assurance and optimize business outcomes. Progress® Actional® Enterprise provides operational and business visibility, root cause analysis, policy-based security and control of services in a heterogeneous environment. Actional can be used early in the lifecycle to enable pre-production teams to address service quality before runtime, and Actional's comprehensive visibility and management tools can be quickly and easily applied to production applications.

With the proliferation of companies investing in interconnected distributed applications, organizations are now grappling with how to manage the complexity of these applications. The need to effectively manage these applications is especially dire for business-critical applications that require transaction success. During runtime, these often-service-based applications execute across heterogeneous systems, may be owned by different organizations, and reside in different locations, making visibility difficult. Increasing volumes of traffic compound this complexity, leading to an increase in issues and, therefore, increased IT time and costs to resolve them. With Actional Enterprise, you gain the quality, visibility and control needed for business transaction assurance from development through application support. This is achieved with:

• Comprehensive validation tools driving quality early in the development lifecycle.
  
  
• Automatic end-to-end visibility to detect issues proactively and repair problems quickly and effectively.
  
  
• Business insight on executing transaction and tools to dynamically manage service behavior to optimize business outcomes.
