Webinar Replay: Maximizing the Value of Your Business Interactions: Acheiving Business Agility with Business Event Processing
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.
When you look carefully, you notice patterns connecting the events that occur in any system. Some events have obvious and immediate relationships. Other patterns are more complex or develop over a longer time. Event Processing is the ability to identify and react to events and event patterns as they occur.
Webinar Replay: Lessons Learned from the First Decade of BPM (including Lombardi)

Hear tangible examples and use cases of projects that have achieved their goals - and projects that have not.
