Business Event Processing

Events flowing in and out of the enterprise 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. That's why real-time processing is so important.

How does Business Event Processing fit into RPM?

Business event processing (BEP) technology can help you quickly uncover new opportunities, critical threats, and changing conditions that may impact your business, and it enables you to perform deeper operational assessment for increased responsiveness.The Progress RPM suite leverages the power of BEP to enable businesses to achieve real-time visibility, continuous process improvement, and the ability to immediately sense and respond.

Manage Mainframe Events in Real-time

Mainframes still form the backbone of most large organizations' mission-critical information systems, and are rich in meaningful business events - events, which in many cases support the applications that underpin distributed businesses processes. Mainframe databases are also the primary unit of record for all enterprise data in many organizations. If mainframes play a role in your organization, Progress® DataDirect® Shadow® z/Events can provide real-time mainframe business event processing with a robust Change Data Capture (CDC) facility for managing data (state changes) events that occur.
