User-interface allows non-technical users to model event-decisioning rules and long-running processes from Windows, Unix, or Linux environment. Additional functionality in rules language and long-running process EventFlow components helps rapidly build and maintain event-driven applications.
Original Press Release:
AptSoft Director 4.5 for CEP Addresses a New Class of Event-Driven Applications Powered by Complex Event Processing
AptSoft Corporation released the latest version of its comprehensive complex event processing design and execution platform. The software addresses a class of event-driven applications which cannot be built using traditional technologies. Georgia-Pacific has implemented this technology to automate an intricate process that maintains supply-chain data.
BURLINGTON, MA November 13, 2006- AptSoft Corporation (www.aptsoft.com), a pioneer in complex event processing technology (CEP), today announced availability of AptSoft Director(TM) 4.5 for CEP. In this latest version of its flagship product, AptSoft delivers functionality designed to make key CEP capabilities more accessible to end-users, including the use of time delays and more complex exception processing logic. This new functionality will help AptSoft's customers more easily address event-driven business problems involving subtle and shifting patterns of human and system behavior.
AptSoft Director 4.5 for CEP represents a milestone in the development of functionality in the rapidly growing market for CEP. This functionality is required by a new class of event-driven applications which cannot be built using traditional business process management, business rules engine, or business activity monitoring tools because they lack the processing logic to identify, understand and react to unpredictable, rapidly fluctuating patterns of events.
In release 4.5, AptSoft has continued to focus on ease of use and maintenance by implementing a more integrated look and feel to the application's Design Center. The user-interface allows non-technical users to model event-decisioning rules and long-running processes from a Windows, Unix or Linux environment. Users can take advantage of additional functionality in both the rules language and the long-running process "EventFlow" components in order to rapidly build and maintain event-driven applications.
"We were looking to automate a time-consuming, rather intricate process that maintains our supply-chain data," said Scott Lackey, senior analyst at Georgia-Pacific Corporation, a leading manufacturer and distributor of tissue, pulp, paper, packaging, building products and related chemicals. "Complex event processing was uniquely able to handle the dynamic nature of this challenge and allowed us to successfully transition from a manual process to a more efficient event-driven one that can handle anomalies."
CEP has proven indispensable for solving critical business problems found in multiple industries involving processing logic that is non-linear, changes quite frequently, and is continuously influenced by outside activity. These types of problems can only be solved by a comprehensive CEP design and application platform that enables intricate processes to be modeled and quick modifications to be easily implemented.
Georgia-Pacific utilizes AptSoft to help keep current the complex web of information required to maintain an efficient supply chain. According to Lackey, "AptSoft's CEP technology, with its easy-to-use UI's and advanced business rules language, allows us to improve productivity and quickly manage a continuously changing business environment beyond what was possible with traditional business rules engines."
"Complex event processing technology uniquely addresses the requirements of a new set of business problems," said Frank Chisholm, president and CEO of AptSoft. "Release 4.5 represents a comprehensive design and execution platform for implementing CEP in even the most demanding environments."
