Smarter ROI with Intelligent Business Event Processing

jStart Team Leads: Holt Adams and Artem Papkov


All businesses operate in a complex ecosystem of connected, inter-related events. Everything from fluctuating interest rates to seemingly simple customer transactions have an impact on your business. Sometimes these patterns are easy to identify but more often they are hard to detect and correlate. Business Event Processing (BEP) software helps businesses detect, analyze, and respond to these complex events to take advantage of emerging opportunities, handle unexpected exceptions, or redirect resources. BEP gives you the ability to detect meaningful patterns of events and respond quickly with effective action.

"Business Event Processing is considered the next generation of event processing that extends the capabilities and tools to the business user to define and detect situations in business context for rapid response to opportunities and threats."

When included as part of a Business Process Management solution, BEP software provides a powerful combination of timely event pattern detection with dynamic process execution. With the pace of business accelerating, there are bottom-line gains to be made from optimizing how the organization handles events. Improved customer responsiveness, increased usage of physical assets and better management of complex value chains all benefit from improvements in event processing.

What BEP Can Do For Your Business

In today's world, the amount of information that is created and captured electronically is simply astounding. Much of this information is associated with events that are occurring all around us daily by the hour, by the minute by the second. These events may be associated with anything that happens, or is contemplated as happening, and even the absences of such. Those events that occur within some business context are business events. The context can be a combination of time ("during working hours"), population ("for platinum customers"), activity ("change address"), state ("red alert state"), space ("within the city of Chicago") or other interrelated attributes that provide a backdrop in which patterns of events can be evaluated and actions activated. Business Event Processing is considered the next generation of event processing that extends the capabilities and tools to the business user to define and detect situations in business context for rapid response to opportunities and threats.
