With thousands of events occurring across an organization, the amount of data being produced is also growing exponentially. Imagine if your business could tap into these ongoing streams of information, connect the dots between disparate events and detect new trends, customer issues or competitive threats as they happen.

IBM Event Automation contains capabilities for:

• Event Streams: Collect and distribute raw streams of real-time business events with enterprise-grade Apache Kafka. Manage your Apache Kafka deployments, balance workloads, browse messages and monitor key metrics in a single, unified experience. Take advantage of the Kafka Connect framework to seamlessly integrate with hundreds of the most common endpoints, like SAP, IBM MQ and more.

• Event Endpoint Management: Promote the sharing and reuse of your event sources while maintaining control and governance. Easily describe and document your events according to the open source AsyncAPI specification. Build a self-service catalog of event sources for users to browse, utilize and share. Enforce runtime policies to secure and control access to anything that speaks the Kafka protocol with an event gateway.

• Event Processing: Harness the power of Apache Flink to build and instantly test stream processing flows in an intuitive authoring canvas. Filter, aggregate, transform, and join streams of events with assistance and validation at each step. Empower both business and IT users to define business scenarios, detect when they arise and begin acting in real-time.

Enterprise architects can build out a complete composable enterprise-wide Kafka-based architecture.

IT can provide self-service access to events to facilitate sharing and reuse, while maintaining control and governance.

Business and IT teams can define business scenarios in an intuitive, easy-to-use authoring canvas in order to act in real-time.
