Progress has launched the Progress(R) Responsive Process Management (RPM) suite, a business solution that brings together full visibility, Business Event Processing (BEP), and Business Process Management capabilities on one platform. The Progress Control Tower product, which manages all of the functionality, is a unified environment showing real-time alerts, interactive interfaces and tools. Using this, business leaders can view everything happening in their business from one source. The suite will be made generally available in late April.

According to Progress, the three main ways the suite is used for improvement include:

• "First, the Progress RPM suite is a human-centric platform providing business users with real-time visibility into business processes and systems, including legacy processes both inside and outside the business.
• Second, the Progress RPM suite includes comprehensive business process modeling and automation capabilities. This enables business users to continuously improve their existing business processes and rapidly implement new ones, without disrupting existing systems.
• Third, the Progress RPM suite continuously monitors millions of events impacting a business in order to identify patterns as well as anticipate opportunities and threats. The RPM suite is capable of immediately responding, either by triggering an automated response, adjusting a business process that is already running or even launching a new business process. It can also simply alert a business user to take action."
