iWay Event Manager

Dynamic Business Event Processing, Real-Time Business Intelligence, and Social Media Integration

More companies today are implementing enterprise collaboration platforms to ease communication and data-sharing across and beyond the enterprise. For these platforms to work, they must encompass all information systems and make automated event management an integral part of the environment by incorporating real-time detection and notification of problems in a powerful, yet noninvasive way.

iWay Event Manager is a unique integration platform that turns real-time data and events, from both inside and outside the enterprise, into actionable information for improved decision-making. By empowering companies with real-time business process orchestration, as well as the ability to send custom messages that can contain BI content like reports and dashboards as attachments, iWay Event Manager augments business collaboration through social media channels.

Dynamic Business Event Processing

With iWay Event Manager, companies can make every enterprise system part of its collaboration solution. iWay Event Manager brings together the power of information integration and dynamic complex event processing, allowing real-time collaboration with Salesforce Chatter and enterprise applications, such as SAP, Oracle, and PeopleSoft. As a result, organizations can build comprehensive environments that provide unhindered visibility into automated events. Users can immediately uncover critical operational activities. Interaction and communication on how to correct those problems can then be effectively facilitated directly through the collaboration environment.

Real-Time Business Intelligence

When combined with WebFOCUS and its ability to generate ad hoc reports and analytics, iWay Event Manager’s real-time event processing and orchestration capabilities allow for real-time analysis. Users can detect real-time events, share BI content for insight into the impact of those events, and take appropriate action as needed.

Social Media Integration

Companies can augment communication and information-sharing through social media channels such as Salesforce Chatter. By extending these vehicles with real-time data and analytics content, organizations can immediately resolve problems or take advantage of opportunities as they occur.

Unhindered Collaboration and Analysis – Without Leaving a Social Platform Social media collaboration tools are predominately used on mobile devices. iWay Event Manager offers device-independent Active Technologies – reports and dashboards optimized to run on any smartphone, Android phone, or tablet PC. Mobile device users can access this BI content quickly and easily by simply tapping the attachment.

Seamless Twitter Integration Tight integration with Twitter allows organizations to consume, process, and act on real-time Tweets. As a result, they can closely monitor conversations in which the company is mentioned, without extensive searching.

Dashboards and Mashups

iWay Event Manager provides an intuitive tool for creating and managing custom dashboards and mashups. Users can add built-in portlets for visualizing real-time event feeds and third-party Web 2.0 gadgets or widgets from platforms like Google or Twitter.

Features

iWay Event Manager provides:

Unparalleled integration with today's popular collaboration platforms – With support for online, real-time, and batch integration of more than 300 information assets, organizations can link any enterprise system, on any platform, in any location, to their collaboration environment. This provides organization-wide visibility into all data, as well as automated events.

Powerful event processing – Real-time, non-invasive, end-to-end event processing capabilities can be rapidly developed using an intuitive, integrated environment (as well as graphical widgets), then embedded into any collaboration platform through REST services, or via iWay Event Manager's exclusive composite application-style web API.

External technical events can be captured from systems, such as ERP applications, mainframe transactions, databases, files, messages, B2B transactions, and third-party data sources. They then are correlated and aggregated into business events using iWay's suite of more than 300 pre-packaged integration components. Users have complete visibility into all automated workflows and can perform advanced functions such as monitoring, reporting, recording, and filtering, as well as state-of-the-art visualizations like gauges and charts.

iWay Event Manager also offers today's most innovative event processing capabilities, including the ability to define implicit and explicit relationships between events, and an intuitive index that makes it easy to search and locate specific events and their details.

Business rules engine (BRE)– With iWay Event Manager, users can leverage a graphical environment for creating and editing rules, including rulesets with complex conditions.

Actions framework – iWay Event Manager includes a powerful framework for handling the processing outcomes of business rules.  It supports several action types, such as sending e-mails, running a process flow as a service, invoking built-in services, integrating with social media technologies like Salesforce Chatter and Twitter, or calling iWay Event Manager or iWay Service Manager process flows as RESTful-style services.

Unhindered data interaction – Users can interact with any information, from any source inside or outside the enterprise, including data generated during the execution of automated processes directly from within the collaboration platform.
