ProgressがActional買収

ProgressがActional買収、for $32 million in cash and stock。
Progress Takes Actional

Progress plans to pair Actional's Looking Glass software engine with the enterprise service bus (ESB) software from its Sonic Software company. Sonic's ESB (define) exchanges services in an SOA.

Sonic makes a raft of other software infrastructure products, including an SOA suite, XML server and a database service. But the Bedford, Mass., company was lacking a comprehensive way to manage Web services in SOAs.
