About Business Activity Monitoring - BAM

"Business activity monitoring" (BAM) is Gartner's term defining how we can provide real-time access to critical business performance indicators to improve the speed and effectiveness of business operations. Unlike traditional real-time monitoring, BAM draws its information from multiple application systems and other internal and external (interenterprise) sources, enabling a broader and richer view of business activities. As such, BAM will be a natural extension of the investments that enterprises are making in application integration.

About Complex Event Processing - CEP

CEP is a lightweight and agile complex event processing (CEP) engine. It aims to ease the cost of changing business logic, automating and monitoring business processes, and enabling an on demand business environment. Our unique CEP capabilities were recognized by Gartner as an emerging market in which "enterprises will achieve new levels of flexibility and a deeper understanding of their business processes by applying the techniques of complex event processing to their daily work".
