Turn real-time events into business results 

IBM Cloud Pak for Integration offers IBM Event Processing as an add-on, extending its event-driven capabilities to help organizations detect, analyze and act on events in real time.

With this capability, teams can use the event processing features of IBM Event Automation to build and automate event-driven workflows with a powerful low-code platform—no heavy coding required. Raw event data can be transformed into real-time action through a unified interface that supports alerts, dashboard updates and automations. IBM Event Streams supports any Kafka implementation, ensuring flexibility across your event architecture.
