Todays businesses require straight-through processing. Straight-through processing means that a transaction occurs (be it an online order, a customer payment, a securities trade or a change in billing information) that generates an event in a particular business application. Thereafter, it proceeds in an automated fashion through the rest of its life cycle, potentially involving dozens of steps spanning multiple applications across disparate operating systems.

The goal of all organizations is to integrate applications to avoid re-keying this event from one system to another, thereby eliminating input errors, improving service delivery and shortening the time to completion by cutting out latency between steps.

For truly critical business processes, companies have turn to Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) vendors for real-time straight-through processing. But according to Gartner, batch integration forms seventy percent of a companys integration requirement. Batch processing must progress from simple date- and time-based processing to event-based processing across a variety of business applications and operating systems.

And nobody does event-based processing like AppWorx does event-based processing. Because we manage processing at the application level, we are smart about what goes on in your application environment. When an event occurs in a particular business application we can control and manage the processing of that event through its life cycle, spanning web-based applications, homegrown applications and packaged applications.
