Progress updates its business rules management solution with REST

Progress, a provider of application development and digital experience technologies, is releasing the latest version of the Progress Corticon business rules management solution.

As part of Progress’ strategy to simplify and streamline business decision management, Corticon 6.0 now includes faster support for REST data connectivity, providing a more efficient means of connecting to REST APIs and extracting the data necessary to fuel improved decision making.

In addition, the release introduces a new, simpler architecture for .NET server, enabling users to execute decisions three times faster and with more reliability.

Corticon 6.0 expands the data integration capabilities of Corticon with the introduction of a new REST data source.

The amount of data and data sources leveraged across enterprise, mobile and web applications continue to grow exponentially.

Because of this, data sources are becoming more disparate, making REST APIs an increasingly popular way to access enterprise data.

By embedding the Progress DataDirect Autonomous REST Connector—an intelligent, customizable data connectivity solution enabling lightning-fast, codeless connections between applications and REST API data sources—Corticon customers are now able to connect to the vast variety of data sources necessary to inform digital decision making within minutes.

Corticon’s Java implementation option powers business rule implementations and with Corticon 6.0 that same speed and scalability is introduced in .NET providing as much as three times faster throughput and eliminating the need for cross-compiling. .NET users now have the architecture flexibility to use both in-process and Microsoft IIS deployment.
