Vanguard Technologies Press Release

Vanguard Technologies Selects AptSoft’s CEP technology

Partnership helps companies align IT operations with business
using AptSoft’s event-driven application development platform

BOSTON and Dublin, Ireland – May 8, 2007 – Vanguard Technologies and AptSoft Corporation today announced a strategic partnership to provide companies with a solution for aligning IT operations and business based on a real-time, event-driven approach - complex event processing (CEP).

Every day, millions of electronic events flow through the IT infrastructure, representing changes in the current state of the enterprise. These events and the patterns in which they occur over time represent an enormous amount of actionable business intelligence that is currently going undetected, exposing the business to unnecessary risk and the inability to respond to opportunities. 

The partnership will merge Vanguard’s expertise for business transformation modeling and application implementation with the industry’s most advanced CEP technology, AptSoft Director™ for CEP. This combination will give companies the ability to detect and understand the business relevance of patterns of events (activity) as they occur and orchestrate the right response at exactly the right time. 

“Based on years of experience implementing advanced technologies for large UK-based firms, we recognize the need for real-time, event-driven solutions for ensuring the consistent execution of the company’s best practices for improving overall business performance. Earlier attempts to build these intelligent sense-and-respond applications using custom code or other event oriented technologies have proven to be very difficult and costly to both implement and maintain,” said Suleiman Shehu, CEO Vanguard. “AptSoft’s CEP platform provides the breath of functionality, ease of use and scaleable architecture required for these demanding application requirements.”

“We are extremely pleased to join forces with Vanguard Technologies. The combination of Vanguard’s business domain expertise and proven ability to successfully develop and implement advanced technology represents a great opportunity to deliver this new class of real-time, event-driven application solutions in the UK,” stated Frank Chisholm, CEO AptSoft.
