TechWeb - Complex event processing (CEP) software delivers on the promise of real-time insight, but is the technology too green for mainstream success? CEP was once available only to big financial institutions and government agencies that could afford custom development projects. That&#39;s no longer the case, as off-the-shelf products and implementations have proliferated. Intelligent Enterprise shares success stories and explores the potential of CEP as your next competitive edge.

InfoWorld - BT Group has extended an existing human resources outsourcing deal with Accenture with a new 10-year contract valued at &#163;306 million (&#36;576 million), the companies announced Wednesday. The deal will begin in August and will cover BT's HR functions in 38 countries for all of its 97,000 employees and 180,000 BT pensioners. The previous five-year outsourcing contract only covered employees in the U.K. Accenture will provide services such as customer contact, recruitment, pension administration, payroll, and benefits administration. The business process outsourcing (BPO) contract with London-based BT also has a consulting, or what companies like IBM are increasingly calling "transformation," element to it. As part of its consulting role, Accenture will create a "transition program" with BT before the August roll-out of the contract.

(InfoWorld) - Accenture has walked away from two contracts to deliver regional IT systems and services to the U.K. National Health Service (NHS). An alliance led by Computer Sciences Corp. will take over the contracts, the companies announced Thursday. CSC already has contracts to deliver services in two other regions. CSC valued the two Accenture contracts at up to Â£1.97 billion ($3.73 billion) over nine years. In March, Accenture said it had made a pretax provision of $450 million to coverÂ losses it expectedÂ to make on the two local service provider contracts, to implement and service regional IT systems in the Northeast and East of England. Under the nationwide Connecting for Health program to modernize NHS IT systems, CSCÂ already has contractsÂ to deliver services in two regions, the Northwest of England and in the West Midlands. Under an agreement between Accenture, CSC and the NHS, Accenture has until Jan. 8 to transfer its responsibilities to CSC. Accenture and CSC had both turned to the same supplier, iSoft Group, for the software necessary for the project. In January, iSoft said it would deliver the software late, and in June restated financial results because of questions over the way it booked revenue before delivering products. On Thursday, iSoft said it will remain the preferred supplier for the Northeast and East regions, and that it had settled outstanding disputes with Accenture.ADVERTISEMENTMAKE SOA REAL WITH IBM WEBSPHERE PODCASTStreamline processes and maximize efficiency within a proven service oriented architecture.
