Ventana Research Launches Operational Intelligence Research Practice; Industry Veteran to Lead New Research Practice in Emerging Technology Area.SAN MATEO San Mateo (săn mətā`ō), city (1990 pop. 85,486), San Mateo co., W Calif., on San Francisco Bay; inc. 1894. It is a commercial and retail center with some high-technology manufacturing. San Mateo, Spanish for St. , Calif. -- Today, Ventana Research, the leading Performance Management research and advisory services advisory services advisory services provided to the public, in their capacity as owners and managers of animals, are an important part of veterinary science. They may be provided by government bureaux, by commercial companies who deal in pharmaceuticals or animals or animal firm, announced the expansion of its services to users and vendors with the launch of its newest research practice area: operational intelligence. This practice is led by Dan Everett, an established industry veteran and expert in business intelligence and systems management technology. Sessions on Operational Intelligence at Ventana Research's Performance Management conference for finance, operations and IT -- Connections 2006 -- at the Fairmont in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden explained how operational intelligence uses an event driven architecture to detect the current state of activities and processes and analyze them against expected states. Also highlighted was how operational intelligence embeds contextual information and control rules into process workflows to determine the most appropriate response to threats and opportunities, unlike business activity monitoring See BAM. . "Event driven analysis has been used for decades in network and systems management tools, but has only recently emerged in use for business decision making applications. Increased global competition and more stringent regulatory compliance requirements Compliance requirements are a series of directives established by United States Federal government agencies that summarize hundreds of Federal laws and regulations applicable to Federal assistance (also known as Federal aid or Federal funds). are driving adoption of event driven systems to help companies respond quickly and appropriately to changing business conditions," explained Dan Everett, Research Director - Operational Intelligence. Ventana Research's operational intelligence research and services assist companies in adopting new event driven architectures to improve front line decision-making. Ventana Research provides research-derived guidance for companies with issues ranging from what types of business applications are well-suited to event driven architectures, to evaluating specific software vendors for building applications. Technology vendors that have passed the Ventana Research initiation and coverage process within the operational intelligence research practice include Aleri Labs, AptSoft, Celequest, Coral8, CXO CXO Chief Executive Officer (corporate title) CXO Chandra X-ray Observatory CXO Chief Experience Officer (corporate title) CXO Conroe, TX (Airport Identifier) Systems, Digital Harbor, Hewlett Packard, SeeWhy, Steambase, Syndera, and Tibco. "Due to increased business process automation, businesses today need to have improved visibility and control of key operational events in order to respond to threats and opportunities most effectively. To meet this need, businesses are adopting event-oriented computing architectures and operational intelligence solutions," said Janet Heppner-Jones, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

She added, "Our customers are realizing higher revenue, reduced operational risk, and greater competitive advantage that only the event-driven architecture Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a software architecture pattern promoting the production, detection, consumption of, and reaction to events. An event can be defined as "a significant change in state"[1]. of operational intelligence solutions such as Syndera's could provide them." "Complex Event Processing Complex Event Processing, or CEP, is a technology for building and managing event-driven information systems. CEP is primarily an event processing concept that deals with the task of processing multiple events from an event cloud with the goal of identifying the meaningful is a critical technology for organizations that want to reduce the latency (1) The time between initiating a request in the computer and receiving the answer. Data latency may refer to the time between a query and the results arriving at the screen or the time between initiating a transaction that modifies one or more databases and its completion. in detecting, understanding and responding to changing business conditions," said Frank Chisholm, founder and CEO of AptSoft. "We're excited about Ventana Research's new operational intelligence research practice because it recognizes the requirement for a process-oriented, event driven architecture supporting operational decision-making that can't be addressed by the transaction-oriented, data driven architecture of business intelligence products."
