Paul Vincent’s blog post CEP: hype, or the next best thing since sliced bread? mispresents the dialog going on the the CEP community.

First of all, we have not*read anyone saying that CEP is “mere hype” as Paul Vincent has distorted the discussion.* What people have have said is that CEP is overhyped. There is a huge difference in “Mere Hype” (Paul Vincent’s misinformation) and “Overhyped”.**

In addition, Paul*goes a step further and calls the entire discussion,*one he did not participate in,*”over-discussed (but ultimately uninteresting)” as a sideline observer who has offered nothing to the dialog.* TIBCO’s customers have not released a CEP announcement in a very long time and they are not contributing to the critical technical discussions.

Instead of sniping*at community*discussions on the blogosphere,**as a lead-in for a blog post, why not offer the details of a TIBCO customer use case?* Also, instead of misquoting the community discussions, why not be accurate, not misleading and condescending?**** How about getting into the details of TIBCO Event Processing Language?* Maybe discussing the plans, if any, for the*integration of Insightful and Spotfire with BusinessEvents?**

I greatly admire TIBCO and their technology, but Paul’s post CEP: hype, or the next best thing since sliced bread?*is both misleading and inaccurate. We*expect more out of the TIBCO bloggers, for example, a strong public customer reference detailing a CEP use case.** Something we have not seen on the TIBCO blog.*
