Gartner Says Companies Must Adopt Modern Event Processing Techniques to Improve Operations

In an era of accelerating business processes and exploding volumes of digital event data, companies must master the art of event processing if they are to thrive or even survive, according to Gartner Inc.

Gartner explains how to implement modern event processing systems in the recently released book “Event Processing:
Designing IT Systems for Agile Companies”, published by McGraw Hill. Roy Schulte, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner, and K. Mani Chandy, Simon Ramo Professor at the California Institute of Technology, are co-authors of the book.

Mr. Schulte and Mr. Chandy presented findings from the book at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo. “It`s a familiar story: the pace of business has increased, the world is changing faster, and competition is getting tougher,” said Mr. Schulte. “These business pressures have inspired the development of numerous modern
management strategies with the net result that the world is awash with advice on why your company needs to be more responsive and adaptable. It`s now time to move on to the more important discussion of how to actually do it. Smart devices, sense-and-respond systems and situation awareness depend on getting the maximum value from business event data.”
