Software AG buys complex-event processing technology from Progress

June 14th, 2013

Software AG is building out its portfolio of CEP (complex-event processing) software with the acquisition of Apama from Progress Software, in the second CEP-related deal this week. Terms of the deal, which was announced Thursday, were not disclosed.

Apama and other CEP products ingest and analyze streams of data, looking for patterns and correlations, and are used widely in areas such as financial trading and fraud detection.

Software AG already had a CEP product called WebMethods Business Events. But it plans to continue marketing Apama under the same name due to its “high brand recognition,” according to a statement.

“We are making this acquisition because, as companies focus on becoming truly digital enterprises and addressing the four megatrends of cloud, mobile, social and big data, we see an increasing demand for CEP based solutions,” Software AG chief marketing officer Ivo Totev said in a blog post. “CEP is an important capability helping customers detect important events and information that are critical to fast and accurate business decisions.”

Progress CTO John Bates will be joining Software AG as part of the deal.

Software AG’s move is the latest indication that CEP technology, while still a niche market, is starting to heat up as vendors look to offer customers a wider range of analytics capabilities. On Tuesday, Tibco announced it would buy Apama competitor StreamBase.

Other vendors, such as SAP and Oracle, also have CEP technologies.

Meanwhile, Apama will give Software AG a mature CEP platform along with its installed base and market share, Forrester Research analyst Stefan Ried said in a research note.

WebMethods Business Events is based on technology Software AG gained through the 2010 acquisition of RTM Realtime Monitoring.

Apama and WebMethods Business Events “complement each other,” Ried wrote. “While the former RTM is really lightweight and can be embedded in many Software AG products to provide basic event communication capabilities, the Apama product is for those customers who like a dedicated business event management platform.”

The acquisition is “good news for Apama customers” because it means the product has a future, Ried added. “And, the product is finally owned now by a middleware firm that competes on a broader basis with IBM, Tibco and others who did acquire or built CEP products. That makes the sales proposition much stronger.”

Atos Chooses Cutting Edge Technology from MATRIXX Software to Power Its BSS Solutions for LTE

March 28th, 2013

MATRIXX Software today announces a global reseller agreement with Atos, an international IT services company. Atos will resell the MATRIXX Charging Engine as the core component in its Next Generation Business Support Systems for Communications Service Providers (CSPs). The Atos Next Generation BSS provides CSPs a cost effective platform to launch dynamic new offerings for LTE.

With over 20 years of experience delivering real-time charging and billing systems to all the major CSPs, Atos saw the need for a new generation of BSS technology capable of meeting the extreme demands of data services and LTE. Atos chose MATRIXX Software because it provides a unique combination of business agility, scalability, network grade reliability, and operational cost efficiencies. With the MATRIXX Charging Engine at the core of its solution, Atos can evolve its existing installed base of charging and IN platforms to support the dynamic business needs of the mobile data era and develop new markets where shared data plans are considered a business priority.

“With LTE, new charging models such as shared data bundles are a big opportunity for CSPs to differentiate their offerings. But rolling them out quickly presents challenges for network and IT groups due to the coexistence of LTE with existing network infrastructure, including the respective control and charging layers,” said Bruno Fabre, EVP for the Global Telco, Media and Technology Market at Atos. “Our vast BSS experience and system integration capabilities coupled with the most modern, scalable and flexible technology from MATRIXX Software will empower CSPs to rapidly roll out new LTE offerings while operating the underlying control and charging infrastructure economically.”

LTE creates new operational challenges such as unpredictable traffic patterns, signaling load spikes and latency issues. This puts enormous stress on the control and charging applications to manage this unpredictability and support evolving pricing concepts and offerings. Leveraging MATRIXX technology, Atos provides an online charging solution specifically designed to handle the characteristics of broadband data services and enable CSPs to roll out strategic initiatives such as shared data plans, streaming video packages, and quality of service pricing.

“This is a key partnership for MATRIXX. Atos has deep Telco experience and market reach, is renowned as a strong IT service provider and has a large, established customer base to deliver into,” said Dave Labuda, Founder, CEO and CTO of MATRIXX Software. “Through this partnership, MATRIXX has access to a wealth of extensive SI capabilities that will deliver rapid, low risk deployments of MATRIXX technology within existing Telco and IT infrastructures.”
