The Secret Life of CEP

Catching up on the blogs, I couldn’t help but comment on, Is CEP Mature? Or a Curious Case of Information Asymmetry by Mark Tsimelzon, President & CTO, Coral8.* Mark says,
Then, as to somehow justify the lack of public reference clients, Mark takes the position of a Coral8 customer and says,
Of course, when the technology is mature, then it is “Hey we have lots of computers!” “Hey, look at my fully functional sexy iPhone!” “We have the best back office banking systems on the planet by !”
Well, all this CEP Solution Secrecy (CEPSS) might just be similar to why the government keeps many IT projects a secret;* the main reason is so we don’t know how much taxpayer money they are spending!
So, folks, the debate counterpoint that there is some “Secret Life of CEP” and that the CEP solutions today are somehow changing the way C-Level executives, and corporate America, thinks is just wishful thinking.
Companies don’t need to keep their strong technical solutions a secret. Like, Wow! I am using Coral8 and it is so impressive that I have to keep it TOP SECRET.* (Sorry Mark, nothing personal, you simply gave me a big red target and painted “fire when ready” on it)
Note:* I happen to like Coral8, and Coral8 Studio,*as a event stream processing platform.
Back on point,*I*consider*my laptop and cellphone more indispensable than most of the first generation rule-based stream processing engines out there today, and I am sure most CEOs agree.
The Secret Life of CEP….** you just have to just love it

Catching up on the blogs, I couldn’t help but comment on, Is CEP Mature? Or a Curious Case of Information Asymmetry by Mark Tsimelzon, President & CTO, Coral8.* Mark says,
“I know for a fact that every major CEP vendor has several dozen paying customers.”Somehow Mark, I don’t find a dozen paying customers by the top CEP vendors very impressive.
Then, as to somehow justify the lack of public reference clients, Mark takes the position of a Coral8 customer and says,
“We believe that the use of Coral8 gives us a strategic advantage over our competitors. Why would we want to clue them in?”Naturally, the same thing could have been said about the first desktop computer, or the first back-office banking system, or the first calculator, or the first telephone, frankly speaking.
Of course, when the technology is mature, then it is “Hey we have lots of computers!” “Hey, look at my fully functional sexy iPhone!” “We have the best back office banking systems on the planet by !”
