Welcome to the second episode of The Complex Events Podcast, brought to you by Voices in Business and sponsored by BEA Systems.

On today’s show, Daniel Chait, Managing Director, and Ross Hamilton, Director of Client Engagements at Lab49, continue their conversation with Vicki Zesses of Voices in Business about the evolution of Complex Event Processing.

Daniel Chait & Ross Hamilton

Welcome to the first episode of The Complex Events Podcast, brought to you by Voices in Business and sponsored by BEA Systems.

In this inaugural episode of the series, Daniel Chait, Managing Director, and Ross Hamilton, Director of Client Engagements at Lab49, converse with Vicki Zesses of Voices in Business about the market forces driving the evolution of Complex Event Processing.

Exploring the architectural changes that have taken place, from batch processing to event-driven, Ross and Daniel discuss the ever-increasing demands on IT infrastructure coming from increasingly complex products, from trading strategies requiring low-latency and from the management of high volumes of data.

They predict that 2008 will be the year that CEP moves from algorithmic trading desks to broad-based adoption across products, trading strategies and enterprise-wide requirements, in both buy-side and sell-side financial institutions.

This is the first part of a two-part interview. The second half will appear as the next episode of this series (due for release in mid-February 2008).

Ross and Daniel will feature regularly as co-hosts on upcoming shows, interviewing a variety of thought leaders with expertise in the field of CEP.

Lab49 specialize in building advanced applications for major financial institutions, and have developed a particular expertise in event driven processes.
