AptSoft Announces New Version of Complex Event Processing Platform, Adds Advanced Capabilities for Context Evaluation, Stream Handling



Leading UK residential, commercial and industrial ventilation company selects AptSoft Director 3.2 to improve operational efficiency, boost revenue

BURLINGTON, Mass., Nov. 7 /-- AptSoft Corporation, a pioneer in a new technology capability known as complex event processing (CEP), today announced availability of AptSoft Director(TM) 3.2. The latest version of its ground-breaking CEP platform brings advanced new capabilities in event handling and orchestration as well as improved usability to help companies easily increase the operational efficiency of key business processes in support of business goals such as cross-selling, fraud reduction and ongoing compliance with internal process controls.

Companies grappling with dynamic business problems and fluid market conditions are bumping up against key limitations in traditional business process management (BPM) offerings -- which are too linear and lacking in contextual insight. As part of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) AptSoft's CEP capabilities overcome those limits, allowing companies to automatically correlate, evaluate, and respond to countless patterns of business "events" occurring anywhere at anytime.

At Vent-Axia, a leading supplier of domestic, commercial and industrial ventilation products based in the UK, AptSoft Director 3.2 made it possible to eliminate an ineffective paper-based system used to manage customer contact and executive reporting. With AptSoft Director, Entelegen, a provider of outsourced services for sales effectiveness, was able to automate the orchestration of sales activity between Salesnet, a leading provider of on- demand CRM, and Vent-Axia's in-house ERP system. "Improving the efficiency of our quote-to-order process provides tremendous value and competitive differentiation. AptSoft's complex event processing technology has allowed us to quickly and easily orchestrate our sales and quotation processes to better respond to the needs of our market," said Steve Helm, business analyst with Vent-Axia.

Because it can be dynamically configured to understand patterns, dependencies and hierarchies within and among events, AptSoft Director CEP is uniquely suited to provide the automation and verification of processes and systems companies rely on to do business. AptSoft Director 3.2 adds important new functionality to significantly enhance both its CEP capabilities as well as its overall usability. Among these are:

o Complex Correlation Functions -- the ability to evaluate context, including time, sequence and relationship to other events, without first converting it into data, typically a time-consuming, complex, and brittle exercise in data integration.

o Personal Event Manager -- a new capability that allows business managers to incorporate human decision-making into complex processes.

o Built-in Connections -- allows the exchange of events and actions with applications, databases, and devices using standards like SOAP, http, SQL, ftp, e-mail, file system, xml, and message queue -- all configurable without writing any custom code.

o Streams -- the ability to manage individual processes and differentiate them from global policies. This dramatically improves the reusability of components as well as flexibility in defining long-running processes.

o Mapped Keys -- dramatically reduces the configuration necessary to fetch data from relational databases and eliminates the need to write any SQL in most cases.

"Increasing complexity and constant change are impediments to business success," noted AptSoft CEO Frank Chisholm. "CEP thrives in complex, unpredictable environments where traditional technologies come up short. The new capabilities in AptSoft Director 3.2 clearly place it at the forefront in this emerging market, both in terms of technology and usability."
