Business Activity Monitoring - Processing Events

Processing Events

All BAM solutions process events. While most of the first BAM solutions were closely linked to business process management (BPM) solutions and therefore processed events emitted as the process was being orchestrated, this had the disadvantage of requiring enterprises to invest in BPM before being able to acquire and use BAM. Fortunately the newer generation of BAM solutions are based on complex event processing (CEP) technology, and can process high volumes of underlying technical events to derive higher level business events, therefore severing the dependency on BPM, and providing the benefits of BAM to a wider audience of customers.
