Real-time progress software 'helps firms stay ahead'

Businesses could benefit from the uptake of real-time progress software that can help firms react quickly in times of emergency.

Dr Giles Nelson, deputy chief technology officer of Progress Software, said disaster recovery - such as in response to the recent tube strike in London - can be put into action more effectively when using real-time systems, as it gives firms up-to-date information regarding their activities.

He commented: "This technology delivers real-time, comprehensive visibility into any combination of processes, billing transactions, events and system-level information."

Dr Nelson added that this enables organisations to determine what is working and what is not and to set the right course of action to stay on an even keel.

According to Transport for London, strike action was undertaking by RMT workers on London's tube network last week. However, the industrial action is not believed to have hampered business activity in the capital that much.
