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.
