Agenda & Sessions

We know OpenEdge is the best OLTP database. But just as there are many vehicles on the road, there are many databases, with their own strengths and weaknesses. DataDirect has decades of experience across on-premise, hybrid and cloud databases. In this interactive discussion, we’ll look at SQL, NoSQL, Big Data and cloud databases popular today, the reasons for these "fit for use" data stores, and how to ensure they don't become silos.

Enterprises today are rapidly adopting cloud storage and infrastructure, while still opting to retain sensitive business data inside their corporate firewall. Cloud ISVs often get requests to connect these database silos (big or relational) using technologies such as VPN or SSH tunneling. However, these approaches are difficult to manage and not engineered for accessing business data from the cloud. In this session, we’ll see how Progress Hybrid Data Pipeline (HDP) can offer an easier approach to connecting data.

Salesforce plays a large role in empowering digital transformation efforts at companies across the world. Businesses increasingly want access to their Salesforce data for analytics and other mission-critical processes within their OpenEdge applications, as well as the ability to make OpenEdge and other external data available to SFDC via OData REST APIs to get real-time information and avoid costly duplication. Enterprises often turn to homegrown solutions to make these connections. Creating these custom data connections to Salesforce isn’t easy—often taking months or even years. In this session, we’ll explore how you can leverage Progress’ DataDirect innovations to quickly and easily make these connections in real-time.
