Business Analyst In a Box

摘要

It's no secret to it people, or any business executive worth his beemer; that an amazing wealth of actionable business intelligence is coursing through enterprise applications, databases, and even system logs nearly every moment of every day. The problem has not only been plucking the meaningful events from the unimportant ones but also finding the often seemingly unrelated patterns between them, and doing so before it's too late to make a difference — before the supplier raises the price, the shopper leaves the Web site, or the scammer transfers the funds. CEP (complex event processing) promises to help you capitalize on the rich information hidden in your data streams — information typically tossed away in log files and data warehouses. CEP helps users correlate complex events (often seemingly unconnected ones), spot trends, trap anomalies, and trigger alerts that can be used to seize opportunities or mitigate risks.
