Business Event Processing

Responding to the Business

Events can be found in the information that flows in and out of the enterprise. They come from anywhere and nearly anything that is associated with a business change. They can be subtle such as an order being processed, or dramatic like a delivery being late that will affect a perishable cargo. How you respond to these events will define your competitive advantage.

The speed of business and the ever-changing conditions means that traditional methods of handling enterprise data don’t go far enough. The past-tense nature of existing solutions often results in too much information too late—and finding out tomorrow that there were problems today results in reactive, not responsive decisions.

Navigating Real-time Conditions

The best business decisions are those that have the precision to guide your business on the right course. Navigating real-time conditions requires response to real time event processing. By enabling you to capture and analyze business events as they happen, you will have the ability to respond and act in real-time. With the Progress® Apama® Event Processing Platform, business events discovered in real-time data streams are correlated and managed by rules based on your business requirements. Out-of-bounds conditions, exceptions and opportunities are identified as they occur, giving you the ability to respond with course corrections and refinements that deliver real results.
Business Event Processing with Apama provides solutions for:

Detecting and identifying business events inside and across information flows. Business event patterns within single streams of information can be correlated against multiple streams in real-time.
Visibility across information flows. Real-time events can be visualized through rich, interactive dashboards.
Business-level modeling of event rules to identify critical conditions that require action. Business scenarios and KPIs can be mapped to business event rules.
Real-time, actionable results. Event rules can trigger actions from alerts to application and web service calls.
Historical analysis and decision support. Past business events can be stored and replayed in time-order condition to analyze past events and refine current conditions.

Business is Event Driven

Events flow in and out of the enterprise every second of every day. In isolation, they’re interesting. When combined, they become a powerful source of competitive advantage. Let Apama bring the power of the industry’s leading event processing platform to your business and drive your business by the events that define it.
