Overview:
Most applications perform a task when a user tells it to. But according to IDC, this approach is no longer valid for mission-critical applications that involve managing risk and important areas of customer service. Instead, such applications require a new event-driven approach that enables proactive response to risks and opportunities. In this excerpt of an IDC study by Maureen Fleming and Jeff Silverstein, you'll learn how Complex Event Processing (CEP) software meets this need by taking on the application server role. The excerpt includes IDC opinion on the market for CEP, what defines CEP and independently profiles Progress® Apama®, which was ranked "Top CEP Innovator" in the report.
