The following pages gives an abstract
example of how a systematic approach was taken to model a very
sophisticated schedule able to operate in an event driven (i.e.
straight-though) as well as traditional batch mode.
This is a key way in which
Codel Services Ltd can help your
organisation: by looking at a complex problem in a lateral, innovative yet
extremely practical way.
Key
drivers of this approach
Business Event
Management (BEM) is primarily a technology lead initiative. It is however
important to understand the typical business drivers are:
 | Time to market
 | evolving and
rapidly changing at both the tactical (ability to deal with short term
conditions) and strategic level (such as the ability to deal with new
and evolving financial products, and business rules). |
|
 | Generic process
definition
 | ability to
define things at one level that can be extended for specialist
concepts (i.e. apply OO tenets to requirements definition) |
 | single schedule framework
able to operate in both event-driven and batch modes |
|
These same themes
apply to both the schedule and rules engine parts of our solution.
This leads to the
key requirements of:
 | Configurability
|
 | Flexibility |
 | Extensibility
|
So we know what
constrains our solution. Lets discuss what our solution will look like….
