Our Call for Public CEP Reference Clients for 2008 and on-line research has revealed some expected less-than-encouraging CEP news for 2008. In a year of downwardly falling capital markets, a continued recession in real-estate markets, unending war and global uncertainty, we find there are myriad CEP partnership and OEM annoucements, quite a few mysterious “secret tribe of elders” awards and a lot of marketing releases to read, but only three public reference clients for CEP-related software sales (according to the vendors):
- Orbitz by Streambase (Real-time monitoring)
- Netbank by Coral8 (Algo trading)
- LiquidNet by Coral8 (Market monitoring and analysis)
Progress Apama had a few algo trading references, but they (wisely in my opinion) are not (seeming) calling algo trading platforms sales, CEP, in 2008. This is good (and more accurate) and I applaud Apama for building a great event stream processing platform and not overhyping the phrase “complex event processing” every opportunity they get. Maybe we should create another award category?
You will not find any “secret council of elders” here, nor will you find any subjective opinions about the market from people we send out email asking for their opinions - only the facts in an open transparent way. Here is the Google worksheet, if interested.
Please contact me or comment here if we missed anything and we will take a look and we will add your suggestion if it meets the criteria.

- Added LiquidNet/Coral8 suggested by Marc Adler (see comments)
