Progressive Aviation supports systems interoperability, getting disparate applications to work together.

The new thinking is that a global company cannot standardize 100 percent on a business application suite; business processes are too diverse and complex.  Although global back office application companies such SAP sell their office suite to aerospace and defense companies, they do not offer special functionality for specific divisions such as aftermarket sales and brokerage and engine management.   Business units prefer the Progressive Aviation vertical solution that addresses their daily tasks more completely and enjoy a productivity and time-to-market advantage.   Surveys show a definite trend toward reducing the number of interfaces and going from dozens of applications partners down to three or four important ones.  These applications throughout the enterprise from multiple vendors need to interoperate and work together.
