Vienna, VA (PRWEB) September 14, 2008 — Agent Logic, the leading provider of user-driven Complex Event Processing (CEP) software (http://www.agentlogic.com/complex-event-processing/index.html), is proud to announce that KMWorld has selected RulePoint as a “Trend-Setting Product of 2008.”

After selecting RulePoint out of several thousand products considered, KMWorld editor-in-chief Hugh McKellar commented, “This year’s edition has been compiled through briefings with vendors themselves, along with conversations with analysts, users and system integrators. Our mission selecting this year’s products has been deceptively simple: select those that deliver robust customer value.”

“Agent Logic puts the power of Complex Event Processing (http://www.agentlogic.com/complex-event-processing/index.html) into the hands of the user — whether risk analysts, military watch officers, or senior decision makers. This simple but powerful advance in information management and collective intelligence makes an enterprise significantly more agile,” said Michael Appelbaum, Agent Logic’s Chief Executive Officer.

RulePoint, an easy-to-use CEP server application, provides instant intelligence by continually applying user-defined analysis logic across all available data sources. As events of interest occur, RulePoint sends information-rich alerts to the user, who can then make more timely and intelligent business decisions.

“The CEP industry has chosen to primarily deliver developer tools,” observed Appelbaum. “This limits CEP’s disruptive potential in key ways. We use our CEP software to create purpose-built industry solutions that the enterprise can easily extend across business units — or deliver as a uniquely ‘robust customer value.’ Focusing on business users makes this powerful value proposition possible. I hope this award recognizing our user-oriented approach helps unlock CEP’s broader potential.”
