On November 8th 2007, after compiling a list of CEP/EP reference customers from*the open literature and public press releases, I issued a call for CEP reference customers in the
Yahoo! CEP-Interest Group*and on the professional networking site
LinkedIn.*** During the past 7 weeks*I provided an opportunity for*all concerned*to view and respond to*my*
public worksheet.***
Here are the results of the “CEP/EP Reference Customers Survey” for 2005-2007:

~~~
Looking only at 2007, the total CEP/EP reference customers*available in*the public domain*were as follows:
~~~
Apama 4StreamBase4TIBCO2AptSoft2Coral82Aleri2Agent Logic1BEA1**Total CEP/EP Reference Customers (2007)18
~~~
The criteria for inclusion in the survey were based on the following marketing and sales criteria (purely marketing criteria, not technical):
~~~
- Must be a (CEP/EP) software vendor;
- Must be an end user / customer;
- Must NOT be a partnership or OEM announcement;
- Must mention complex event processing (CEP) or event processing (EP)*in the public statement; and,
- Reference must be available on the Internet and in English
~~~
Based on the results of this public survey, comments received,*and experiences with the actual*products by end users, I plan to followup with The CEP Blog Event Processing Awards for 2007.
~~~
Please stay tuned!
