Informatica Acquires Agent Logic

Organizations face ever-increasing variety, volume, and velocity of events including sensor-based data, geospatial data, field reports, transaction flows, and Website clickstream data to name just a few. Operational initiatives for risk mitigation or intelligence-related situational awareness require timely detection and intelligent response to such opportunities and threats. Complex Event Processing (CEP) software addresses these challenges. As a result, it is one of the fastest growing IT categories, estimated by industry analyst group IDC to grow by an average annual rate of 55% from 2008 to 2012.*

With the acquisition of Agent Logic, a leader in the CEP technology category, Informatica enables enterprises to rapidly detect, correlate, analyze, and respond to data-driven events. Using simple-to-specify rules, business users gain timely operational intelligence on multiple, related changes in data elements representing threats or opportunities. With CEP and automated responses to these data-driven events, organizations gain greater adaptability and agility.
