Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessEvents
It replaces the current legacy fraud operational system. We incorporated a number of producers of real-time events (e.g. web UI claims process and RSA Web Threat Detection). TIBCO BusinessEvents (BE) is the consumer that runs a set of rules against those events to determine the next steps in the claims process.
- Great event driven engine with a rich event model
- Provides ability to use Web Studio to generate basic rules that will drive the outcomes
- Allows for Java implementations of other rule sets
- Has in-memory caching abilities
- We had to write our own business rules interface that matched how our previous systems operated. Web Studio has gone through some great changes but in that time we have made a decision to move to Kafka, Kinesis, and Spark for our events streaming solution in AWS.
- We did not modify our business process flow to take advantage of BE. If you are not truly running an adaptive business process effort, then BE could be overkill.
- Online training
- In-person training
- Self-taught
We had great BE support from TIBCO. Since I had been around BE since the earlier years at TIBCO I put together a local training effort to ensure each of our original developers could build the basic patterns (e.g. from Paul Brown's book on Architecting Complex-Event Processing Solutions with TIBCO).
- We are able to stay on top of major threats to our claims process
- We have been able to at least help the business understand what an adaptive business process can do for them
BE has been a great tool. But our company is moving to AWS and not moving current TIBCO solutions to the cloud.
