Event-Driven Architectures with Real-time Visibility
Leverage Event Processing for Revenue Assurance, Network Management, Location-based Services, and Rapid Rule Creation
The increased demand for both new services and innovative pricing models has put a tremendous strain on the networking, operations support systems (OSS), and business support systems (BSS) that deliver service provisioning, service monitoring, and billing information. This pressure impacts service delivery, creates billing issues and increases both system errors and fraudulent activity.
The Progress® Apama® Event Processing Platform provides real-time visibility into the service delivery and event driven architecture infrastructure, detecting events that signal issues and capturing those activities so action may be taken automatically. Apama also aids with fraud detection and elimination, dynamic pricing and promotions to better meet customer needs, and timely service delivery. Exploit the market's leading complex event processing (CEP) platform to power a wide range of telecommunications applications, including:
- Revenue Assurance: With the Apama Event Processing Platform, telecommunications firms can monitor their service delivery infrastructure, detect network events that signify specific services and capture that activity so that the services can be properly billed. With Apama, service providers can better assure that services are timely delivered and billed.
- Network Management: Network information flows in streams. The most efficient way to understand network activity is with complex event processing (CEP). A service provider can monitor, analyze, and act on information emitted by network elements and do it in real time. And with Apama's BAM dashboards, network operations centers (NOCs) can monitor both raw network activity and the real-time analytics that are generated by Apama's CEP rule execution.
- Location-based Services: Location-based information is driving an array of new business and consumer applications in the telecommunications industry. With Apama's sophisticated CEP platform, this dynamic information can be monitored in real-time. Apama supports logic that incorporates location-based constraints that can be evaluated in real time. By correlating location data together with customer profile and preference information, carriers can offer a range of personalized, location-specific services. Providers can reduce customer churn and improve the revenue yield of subscribers through the introduction of higher margin, location-centric services.
- Rapid Rule Creation: Apama's Event Modeler and Apama Dashboard Studio allow telecommunication applications to be designed with incorporation of sophisticated CEP rules. Apama's tools greatly accelerate development and deployment, allowing service providers to introduce new services all the more quickly. Apama far surpasses IT-dependent CEP "engines" that can require months - or years - to create and deploy event-driven applications.
