Event processing is all about running your company smarter and faster. It does this primarily through situational awareness and traceability. The former means continuous updates of all relevant processes, enabling managers to gain a complete overview of the business and instantly respond to problems and opportunities. The latter means the ability to track the status of items -- customer orders, physical batch completion progress, supplier orders en route and so on -- throughout the respective life cycles.
