IDC Complex Event Processing Opportunity Analysis and Assessment of Key Products
"Most applications depend on users to ask an application to perform a task. It is clear that this approach is no longer adequate for many types of applications that involve managing risk and for customer service. The new paradigm requires an event-driven approach that tells users when they need to take action. In this scenario, CEP software becomes the application server for the event-driven system."
